I In closing she left with those pres­ ent the text, Micah 6:8; "He hath showed thee, a heart what is good; and what doth God require of thee but to do justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy1 God?” "How sure and certain this .com­ mand is,” she said, "and there is strength in it for everyday things I must be straight and fair. I must love to be giving and doing for others and each day, whether it be joyous or sad, walki humbly with God knowing that He is guiding all the way. May this be our guide through the days and weeks of the coming year,” talk years The annual meeting qf the Huron Preisbyterial of the Women’s Mis­ sionary Society of the Presbyterian Church in Canada wa® held in Clin­ ton Presbyterian church on Tuesday. Representatives were present from Auburn, Blyth, Bayfield, Clinton, Hensail, Exeter, Goderich and Sea, forth. Those present remarked that it was an inspiration to see so many new faces among the familiar ones, as it signified that the interest in missionary work in the church has been awakened in the heart® of the younger women and their presence showed their intention to carry on. Mrs. Hudson of I-Iensall Auxiliary gave the Scripture reading and the prayer offered by Mrs. Edwards of Hensail was a fitting opening for the very outstanding meeting that fol­ lowed. Mrs. Young, recording secre­ tary, of Hensail, gave a very minute and interesting account of the meet­ ings of 1934. Greetings were react from the Provincial Board. Miss Jeckell Speaks Ever since Miss Jeckell’® first to Huron Presbyteriai four ago, the members have .always ex­ pected and received something in­ spirational to start them out in the year’s work and were not disappoint­ ed in 19315'. She said 1934 could not be changed but that all of 1935 lies ahead. "What are we going to do with it?” she asked. “We meet to-day to table stock and find our assets and our liabilities. If we de­ sire to be an asset to our society we must resolve to give a life of ser­ vice. We must not shut our hearts to the calls for help, but must con­ tinue in giving and doing, no matter how small the service.” Miss Jeckell congratulated the Y. W. Secretary and the Mission Band Secretary for their being able to re­ port new organizations. She thanked all officers and secretaries for their hearty co-operation which had made her work as presiding officer in Hur­ on Presbyteriai, one of happy re­ membrances, and assured her suc­ cessor of the same relationship. 'She regretted that the annual meeting in January is the first op­ portunity the Huron Presbyteriai president has of conveying to the Presbyteriai a report of the Board meeting in October, and touched on a few vital points of that meeting. First she called attention to the fact that the Welcome and Welfare sec­ retaries 'were not always working and thought that auxiliary presidents •could help in that work, that every­ thing should not be left to the Wel­ come and Welfare Secretary. 'She asked that the Auxiliary meeting .be made more attractive— every program should have some magnet to draw the people, then the Recording Secretary will have no difficulty in making an interesting report for the annual meeting. Secretaries Reports Reports from the various secretar­ ies were read and eagerly listened to. In some .groups there were de­ creases in membership, but not in givings, and in others increases in memberships and givings. The Home Helpers gave a wonderful re­ port, showing an increase over their banner year. The Young Women's Auxiliaries chow an increase in or­ ganizations, members and givings. They now contribute over one-third of Huron’s allocation. The Treas­ urer, Mrs. T. Swan Smith, was able to report that Huron Presbyteriai had met and exceeded their alloca­ tion of $3,200. Mrs. Young, Secretary, condensed the various reports in a very inter­ esting summary of the works of 193'4, and urged that the members go ward in His strength and with oourage born of faith. for­ th e Officers Installed Mrs. Walters, of 'Goderich gave the report of the Nominating Com­ mittee, after which Mrs. Albert Tay­ lor, of Goderich, conducted istallation of the following for 193'5: Honorary President, iMiss Exeter; President, .Mrs. D.
