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 to arrange for next year’s work. Mrs. Gunning closed the meeting With prayer for special missionary. The January meeting is to' be at the home of Quance charge. Mrs. K. J. Bims with Mrs. and her committee in James Street W. M. S. 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.

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 -■*» Mrs, Ray Vaughn phone i8i Lindenfield’s Hardware exeter Bindloss, Alta., * . ■October 3!lst, 1937 Mrs. (Lome Finkbeiner, Crediton, Ontario I Dear Mrs, Finkbeiner; I want to send you my thanks for the nice jhr of raspberries on which 'you had your name and address.

This didn’t have a kernel of not even chicken feed, been forced to let most of o.ur cattle go owing to the lack of feed. We all dread the long cold dreary winter ahead of us, with nothing to bright­ en the outolok. Can you imagine day in, day out, of blinding, cutting dust storms—grass hoppers in vast swarms and the terrible deperate heat daafter day with never a rain. (After year of hard work building up a home, raising a family, plant­ ing trees by the thousands and now this. We have eight children, four going to school, a baby of three, the two eldest away, trying to earn year we anything, and have little of something.
