The sun was high in the heaven® ■the balmy breezes blew softly the thirds sung their sweet songs, and ev­ erything seemed to speak a t‘Wel -come” to each and every one. On ^entering the church the delegates iind visitors were greeted by the re­ ception committee who made stran- .gers soon feel that they. were no longer such. The church with its ^decorations of flowers and ferns was Very beautiful. During the noon hour a sumptuous repast was served in the basement- 4)f the church and everyone who had amt become acquainted were made now, and were made to feel p*r- Stectly at home. At the hour of ten o’clock the au­ ditorium of the church was very well Silled with interested women, with Mrs. Gibson, first vice-president, occupying the chair.

Wingham C.G.I.T. affiliat­ ed Belgrave Society this year and Brussels is their Baby Group. We hope that every Auxiliary will soon be mothering a C.G.I.T. group. During the afternoon the memor­ ial service was conducted by Mrs. Clarke of Goderich, and’Miss For­ man of Regina, brought a wonder­ ful message. Hensall Auxiliary sent' an invita- tation for the Presbyterial to meet with them in 19 31. It was unan­ imously accepted. Associate Helpers’ report 100 members; $70.00; twenty-four aux­ iliaries have Associate secretary; six more than last year. There ought to be sixty Assoc. Helpers’ Secretar­ ies because there are only two aux­ iliaries where every woman in the the church is a member of the W. I Miss Wmum We missionaries, when we come yon expect us to give an account of our stewardship- Regina has a pop­ ulation of 60,000 of which 70,000 are mostly front the southeast of Europe and who spoke twenty- three different languages. These people are not heathen but their churches have not given them as full a revelation of Christ as we have. We have 12 churches in the East End of Regina. This .Greek Church is Protestant, and they are very reverent. Miss Forman told the story of how their mission .started in Regina East End. A little girl came home and found a man there whom she was to marry (to please her father). Some women belonging to the Metropol­ itan Church said they were trying to help the children who have to marry in childhood in foreign lands the honor of presenting the best an­ nual rep^'t that has ever been given of the United Presbyterial .of Huron County, Gut of the eight Presbyter- iais in Rondon Conference Branch Huron is the .only one to report an increase in membership. We, have 62 auxiliaries with a membership of 2,271 an increase of 98, We have one Y, W. Auxiliary, 9 C.G.I.T. Groups, 17 Raby Bands and 14 Mission Circles, having a member­ ship of 1,429. Rhe told the story of the year in n story form, using a river. In Huron county flows a mighty river, a river with 62 tributaries, representing our 62 auxiliaries. Tracing these tribut­ aries toward their sources we find that these tributaries are fed by smaller tributaries, representing oui' 14 Mission Circles and 9 C. G. I. T. groups. Then if we follow these larger tributaries f'crtliejr towhrds their sources we find that 35 of them are fed by streamlets, representing our 35 Mission Bands. Following <Jowest price why not try to help them in our own* farther on towards their sources we Canada, So these women, with the women of other churches in Reg­ ina, met and decided to form a miss­ ion in the East End, 1916. So they got a house which they hoped would prove to be “A House by the Side of •the Road,” to be friend to the pass­ ersby and that the missionary might be an interpreter of Canadian ways and customs to these sojourners in Canada. Christianity is a very prac­ tical work, There is not' a finer bit of work for the United Church, to be a friend them. The tone improved, when want else, meat' When noi one in the East End who had passed the Entrance examinations. But now there are 16 who have en­ tered high .school and 6 pupils have received their permanent second.class certificates and one of these is be­ ing sent as. a representative to the International Sunday School Con­ vention in Toronto. She told of another girl who was clerking in a store and who got an education by going to a night school and business college, obtaining an education. She taught in a school on the prairie and taught the child­ ren all the Bible stories she knew and all the hymns she knew and one day -asked the farmers .to bring their cars and took all the children six miles to a church and this minister said he would come and preach for them in their little school. ' Another girl won a gold medal for oratory in Saskatchewan on the subject “Canada’s Greatest Need.”, Secretary’s Report. Miss Consitt' gave the correspond­ ing secretary’s report: It is a matter of great satisfaction to- be able to' present to you this our fourth annual statistical report and to think I have tp such people and help of the East End is much Many little Christians become Christian, they someone they to be a service t'o (There is also much improy- along the lines of education, the Mission started there was United Church of Canada, member a subscriber, is our this year, or a copy in every Duff’s Church, in MeKillop, seven Missionary Monthlies $ e^g&r placed cm a to $1450 qt tho fqctory Gov't fa*es extfa WHEELBASE—70 HORSEPOWER: Hydraulic shock absorbers,..

Following farther on towards their sources we find that 17 of these tri­ butaries have at their sources clear, sparkling, rippling, bubbling springs of Purity—the Baby Bands. She closed by saying that our auxiliaries are also- distributing agencies carry­ ing seeds of loving thoughts in books and missionary literature and plants of loving deeds in acts of kindness from one part of a community to another, sometimes from one con­ tinent to another.

Last year we had 1,328 subscribers, while this year we have 1,428, an increase of 100. Mrs. Irwin, Young Women’s Sec­ retary, said there were many encour­ aging features and many reasons for thanksgiving. We are glad to report’ an increase in membership, in atten­ dance at meetings and in the number of meetings held. It is our desire that they may be led into new paths Of service and . that . some of them shall respond to the call to life ser­ vice in some specific form of miss­ ionary work. Mrs. Andrew gave her report on the supply work . ■ Mrs. Scobie 'presented1 a most beautiful report. The annual mem­ bership is 639 with life members 177, making a total of shows an increase of 302 ship. Up to date there are Bands in active work with 900 child­ ren connected definitely with the work of our W. M. S. The closing words were given by Mrs. Wilson of Wingham and Miss Forman closed the meeting with prayer, Resolutions presented at W. >M. S. Presbyterial:-—We, the unembers of the Huron Presbyterial of the W.M. S. of the United Church of Canada now assembled in our 4th convention do hereby express our thanks to Him who has been our help, strength and Defender for all our blessings and answered prayers of the past years Be it therefore resolved that we con­ tinue to seek His guidance in our missionary work in this very critical period in many of our foreign lands believing, that more things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of’ . We should extend sym­ pathy to the friends and relatives of our beloved president, Mrs Mollard, 'and all other deceased members of our Presbyterial. We would also ex-' tend our best wishes for a speedy and ’complete recovery of health of Mrs. Hogg our past President and Mrs. Colbourn, our Temperance secretary who at' present are laid on beds of sickness, and that we seek to perpet­ uate the memory of our deceased workers by more earnestly and wor­ thily seeking to carry out' the last command of their master -and ours, 'Go ye into all the world.’ “Whereas at the present time it seems impossible t’o promote the Temperance movement by legislation therefore be it resolved that we, the members of the W. M. S., heartily endorse in every way We can any ed­ ucation campaign which may be launched either by our church or by the W. 0. T, U. showing the evil ef­ fects of alcohol upbn the bodies, minds and souls of mankind/* “Resolved1 that We' record our thanksgiving and satisfaction that a Bill entitled the King Bill has been brought into the Federal House- said Bill being for the prevention of granting of clearance papers to vessels engaged in the carrying of beverage alcohol into any Country in contravention of its laws, Whereas tho W.M.S. Is an organization which for its object the furtherance of Kingdom of God upon the earth as we believe one of the great­ est hindrances, if not the greatest hindrance be tho liquor traffic. “Therefore be it resolved that we, the members of the Huron Presby­ terial affirm that we are unalterably opposed, to all forms of control or regulation of the liquor traffic, be­ lieving that the only effective and righteous solution of the problem is. the total prohibition of the manu­ facture and the sale of beverage al­ cohol.
