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.

From girlhood to old age, through the trying
time of a woman’s life, Milburn’s H. & N. Pills
are becoming recognized, more and more, as their
great friend and benefactor.
To the pale, thin, bloodless cheeks they supply
the iron so necessary to make rich, red blood, and
bring back the glow of health.
To tired, weak, worn out, run down women they
help bring back strength and energy, and revive
their drooping spirits.
