At noon a very ap petizing dinner was served in the simply decorated, but very attractive lecture room. Th© devotional exercises of the morning session were conducted by the Auburn Auxiliary and were fol lowed by words of welcome from Mrs D. J. Lane, Goderich. Miss Jeckell, of Exeter, president on giving her address, spoke of the membership campaign and request ed each member to make a personal effort to secure one new member and thus help her keep the pledge she took for Huron Presbyterial at the provincial meeting in (Stratford. Miss Jeckell then spoke on Christian Ser vice. “Is not the unrest of to-day due to selfishness of nations and of indi viduals, the seeking after power position, wealth etc. and forgetting service for others? Service comes from loving, it is love’s expression Christ is our great example of ser vice. In visiting the different Pres- byterials, Mrs. McKay, of Formosa was greatly Impressed by the faith ful bands of women serving in small places, serving unknown. We havo different means of service,, that or prayer, of time, and of talents. We can all give without loving, but we cannot ilove without giving,” "said Miss Jeckell. / In closing Miss Jeckell implored the Presbyterial to make the mission ary cause a loving, vital thing that arouses interest in others and assur ed the audience that the sweetest holiest joy is found in loving and ■serving others in the name of God Remarks from the different secre taries testifed to the interest taken throughout the Presbyterial in the different phases of the work.

Auxil iary of Seaforth. Mrs. McLennan, of Toronto, the Provincial President, brought an in structive and inspirational talk tnav aroused a keener interest in the heart of everyone who listened to her. She showed how'conditions to-day have taught people to discriminate to put values where values belong “Wie will get more construction ou» of these days and come out better” said the speaker. “Distances be tween nations have been eliminatea through scientific inventions and now even one nation may threaten the peace of the world. Keep tn touch with the world movement. 'The missionary movement is one of the big movements of to-day,” she said “It is the result of m'issionar> that 'Chinese are able to obtain ed ucation in iChristian colleges. Teach preach evangelize, hut above all the people to preach to the people of their own land. Have them well equipped in mind, body and spirit Our work is national and interna tional^ our aim, the extension of His Kingdom. Are we doing it accord ing to his method? He healed the sick. He taught; He remembered the physical needs* H« remembered •the strangers.” “Women are never placed in t» Condition unless something is ex pected of themselves,” continued Mrs. McLennan, “A ministry in life in prayer, in everything we do, eveijy meeting we go to, or prepare foi* ■believe that we do that as a minis* try to God, Could we do things' differently? We give and give and give generously, but if a pray erful giving, how much more for the ministry? There are so many things we can give besides money— sympathy, love, prayer, time, etc.’* “He is risen” said the angel. “Go tell.” Let Him choose our time and ways.

Sunday School Lesson REVIEW: SOME EARLY LEADERS OF ISRAEL Sunday, Sept. 24. Golden Text Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. (Eph. 6:10.) Biography is popular these days and we have twelve biographies to study this week. It is a kaliedo- scopic study in character, for n would be difficult to find a dozen persons with greater differences in personality and achievement. ijoshira lived by faith. That meant he was intensely practical. The most practical people in the world are those who trust God most. Rea) faith means real works. His name is the same as “Jesus,” and he was a saviour of Israel. He put great store by the word of God, as he be lieved in obeying 'God, literally anu implicity. That is how the walls of Jericho fell down: by Joshua’s faith and obedience. It meant miracles then as it does today. Caleb was another man of faith and he was young at 8I5( as at 40. His faith made him fearless when he was a young man and equally fearless in old age. When he went to spy out the land of Canaan and found giants there, he was not afraid of the giants, for he actually dared tc believe that God was greater than gjants. In his old age he asked foi the territory of the giants, and he trusted God to drive them out. God never disappointed Caleb. ’* Deborah was one of the three wo men in their studies, a most un usual woman. She was the best "man” in Israel in hcr day. Because none of the men dared go up against the enemies of God, she was made lcader and judge in Israel; she trust ed God, and God used her to lean in war, as well as in peace. She in spired the men with courage; one of them, Barak, said to her concerning a proposed military campaign: 'Ti* thou wilt go with me, then I will go; but if thou wilt not go with me theri I will not go.” Isaiah lived centuries after these others, but was spiritual and prac tical as they were. He saw that drunkenness and graft were destroy ing his nation and he told the truth about it. Gideon was one of the little fel lows whom God made great. He cam** of a poor family, and hew as the least ' of his family at the start, and he needed plenty of encouragement. Goa met him just where he was, led him I on, encouraged him, and used him as ’ a national deliverer of Israel. Little by little, Gideon learned to trust Goa He did a brave thing in destroying idols worshipped by his own family. An under God he led 300 men to victory over a vast army of enemy Midianites. A weak man, plus Goa can do all that needs to he done. Ruth is the second of the three women. She was not even an Is raelite, but of the hated and despis ed Moabites. Her story is one of the most beautiful pastoral poems in all literature. Through the unselMsn faithful and devoted love of her mother-in-law Naomi, she came to know the God of Israel and trust Him. He made her one of the most honored wives and mothers in all history of God’s chosen people, ana she became an ancestress in the hu man genealogy of the .Son of God The third of the three women is Hannah. She was an Israelite, ana a devoted one, true to her worship or God, but broken-hearted because she had no child. She prayed: God hearo and answered he*’ prayer; she be came the mother of one of the great est prophets in Israel’s history, Sam uel. Before his birth she dedicated him wholly to God; and after he was born she did not forget her promise •God honored the mother and the son in an extraordinary way. Samuel as a little boy was brought up and train ed in the house of God, and became prophet, priest and ruler. Some or the People would have said that the little boy and young man has entire ly too much “religion”; his life ana career show they were mistaken. The next chapter in our series of biographies is Samuel himself. He, learned as a little boy to recognize God’s voice, answer and obey. He became God’s mouthpiece to Israej during a long lifetime. He called ana ann-ointed two different knigs, at God’s command, though this meant stepping aside from his own place of leadership and giving way to another —something that only truly great me.n can do graciously. Saul is the handsome man, the popular idol, the hera of his day. He went the way of most idols—down into disgrace and oblivion. Good tc look at, showing at first some admir able qualities, he had no real faith in God. When the severe tests came Saul broke under them, although he was King with very opportunity be fore him. He ended in moral ana military defeat, a suicide. David was another of the little fellows whom God had made great. As shepherd b?oy he had. shown* his courage and fidelity in saving his flock from wild beasts. Then he sav ed his people Israel from the Philis tine giant Goliath. He was made king, and God paid him an amazing tribute, saying that David was a ma® after His own heart. Was David perfect? Far from it: his career ■was stained by borne shameful sins. But he came back to God in broken hearted repentance and confession, and trusted God to forgive and cleanse and keep him. Jonathan is the immortal type oi the most unselfish love mankind can know. The son of a king and heir to the throne, Jonathan loved Davia so unselfishly that he rejoiced to know that David would succeed (Saul •and become King of Israel, while Jonathan would step aside. This true and unselfish love went with great personal courage and sagacity, for Jonathan was brave and successful in war, and finally died in battle only because of his father Saul’s moral breakdown and unbelief. Solomon was the wisest man that ever lived. This is not myth or tra dition, but sober, historical facts. God arbitrarily gave him his great wis dom as a divine gift, And Solomon used it well, bringing Israel as a na tion to her greatest heights of earth ly prosperity and peace, But Solo mon, true believer through he was was turned aside from the simplicity of his faith in his lates years. Pros perity is more rangerous than adver sity. j
