The December meeting was held
in the church parlor on Thursday
afternoon with 14 members present.
Mrs. Cole took charge of the devo
tional period. The meeting opened
by singing “Silent Night, Holy
Night,” after which a leaflet was
read by the one in charge. Again
we sang “It’ Came Upon the Mid
night Clear,” and Mr. Elliott after-
' wards introduced the new study
book, “(A New Church faces a New
World," which he assured would be
*very interesting chapters as the year
goes on. The president then pre
sided over the business. The strang
er’s Secretary reported making fifty
calls. Mrs. Wickwire in the absence
of Mrs. Pearce, took charge of the
questionaire. Mrs. Jaques and Mrs.
. Gunning answered from the Blue
Book. Mrs. Jaques invited the Ex
ecutive to her ho'me on January 7th

The W.M.S. of James St. Church
was held in the 'Sunday School room
on Thursday of last week. Despite
the bad weather there was a good
attendance. The treasurer report
ed a total of $101.6'5 had been
reached for the Fall Thank-Offer
ing. Twenty-three calls were made
by the 'Strangers’ secretary during
the past month. Mrs. Samson Mc-
Falls presided for the devotional
period. A Christmas program was
followed which included an impres
sive numbe given by Mesdames Min
ers, Roulston, Kyle, Anderson, Hor
ney, V. Armstrong and M. Heywood
entitled the “'Seven Gifts.” A de
lightful Christmas duet was sung
by Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Doupe.
The Second Chapter of the
Book whs given in drama
splendidly arranged by Mrs,
Bell, of ,St. Marys, on the life
Jean Dow, a beloved Missionary
Physician, who labored in Honan,
China. The scene was laid in a
Chinese Mission Hall, with a Cana
dian woman as hostess, taken by
Mrs. H> 0, Carey; a Missionary, Mrs.
J M, Southcott; a nurse, Mrs. Stone
a Qhinese student, Mrs. Moise; an
aged Chinese teacher, Mrs, Sharpe;
and a Chinese doctor, Mrs, Cook
»each • giving their story as to tihe
efficiency of Dr. Dow’s work, not
only as a surgeon and evangelist but
as organist. She was a great lover of
church music, as a teacher having
taught for years in a Sunday School
but as counsellor, guide and friend
to all young people of tihe Mission
Station. Jean Dow was born near
Fergus, Ont. and from t»he days when
she attended High School she had
two aims in life—one to win the
five small girls of her Sunday School
class for Christ and the other to
train for a doctor and go to China
as a medical Missionary. She did
both. Aftei* her graduation, she
was sent by our W. M- S. to Honan
in North China in 1895 and labored
there as a Missionary doctor with
gr.eat success, but in all her work
in China, evangelism was her pas
sion. In her own words, “If I
could not, myself, give the gospel
message to the patients, _ nothing
would induce me to stay in China,”
She passed away in 1926 shortly af
ter returning to the field from fur
lough. A ten-cent tea was servel iby

- Dear Mrs. Wein:
1 From a relief car which recently
! came to our town I was given a
■ jar of pear jam to 'pass on to one o„
’ my neighbors. ..As this man is a
, bachelor and I am not sure that he
...il write you, and as I noticed
1 that .you were a member.<;Q.f the In-
1 sti.tuiu I ■•am taking-^this, opporutnjty
of thanking you'and your institute
tor your donations to the car.s I un
derstand the car left* Ontario on the
19th of October. It arrived in Bind
loss on the 2 6th. The things* were
taken to the community hall and
sorted by a committee. The hall
reinded me of a fair day back east.'
We wondered that the car could
hold so much. I will tell you what
we“got and every other family got
somewhat the same: 4 bags of pota
toes, 1 bag of turnips, quarter bag
carrots and beets, 15 lbs. 'of beans,
2 cans of corn, 1 tin honey, 1 jar of
pickles, 2 pumpkins, 2 citrons, few
apples. We certainly were pleased
to know that we are thought of by
those m'ore fortunate than ourselves.
I hope that you people never have
to contend witir the misfortunes of
the farmers in the drought areas.
We farm a section 'of land but for
years we have not raised our own
seed. I had over an acre of garden
this year and never raised as much
as one radish. The wind cut things
off as they came thorough the 'ground
and eventually blew most of the
seeds out. October 27th was a typ
ical prairie day. Some of the distant
farmers could n’ot come to town. At
times we couldn’t see two rods in
front of us and everyone had a dirty
but smiling face. The magazinnes
were given out to those who wanted
them and they certainly were appre
ciated. We, who have no radio find
the white evenings long and dull
unless we can get hold of reading
matter and we find it hard not to
subscribe for magazines. The cloth
ing in the car was distributed among
the larger families. We find it so
hard to obtain clothing and the chil
dren have to - be dressed warm or
they cannot go far to school. I have
two children a boy 13 years and a
igirl 11 years.
I have been a worked in the Bind
loss Institute for years and I thought
it would be interesting to exchange
ideas if you would care to write me.
We have quite an interesting time
and I am sure you do too.
IH'oping for a reply and thanking
you again for your kindness, I am,
Yours sincerely
