The sun was high in the heaven®

^entering the church the delegates
iind visitors were greeted by the re
ception committee who made stran-

longer such. The church with its
^decorations of flowers and ferns was
Very beautiful.
During the noon hour a sumptuous

which has created a great’ deal of
interest. Wingham C.G.I.T. affiliat

hope that every Auxiliary will soon

During the afternoon the memor

ful message.

imously accepted.

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

nual rep^'t that has ever been given

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

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

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.”,

and missionary literature and plants
of loving deeds in acts of kindness
from one part of a community to

that they may be led into new paths
Of service and . that . some of them

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.
