Meets at Seaforth T 1A' the unsdoken word My neighbor says that, looking back over a Jong lifetime of con­ versation, she feels a good deal prouder of the things- she did not say than of those she did. Isn’t it the truth? Sharp, cruel words, uttered In a moment of anger or temper, wing their way far beyond our control, to strike deeply into the heart of someone, where they rankle and burn long after we have forgotten what occasioned them, and only bitterness iemains. Surely a lasting friendship Is too high a price to pay for one hrie£ moment of unworthy satisfaction.“He that keepeth his own tongue is stronger than he that taketh a “Give not thy tongue too great a liberty, lest it take thee prisoner. A word unspoken is like the sword in the scabbard——thine; if vented, thy sword is in another's hand, If thou desire to be held wise, be so wise as to hold, thy tongue.’’—Quarles. YOU AND YOUR CHILD KIDDY KORNER . Have you taken the trouble to get acquainted with the new teacher? If she is a stranger in the section she will probably be feeling a bit lonely and an outsider. Beside all this she has your child in her care for more of his waking hours than you have, so wouldn’t you like to know what sort of person she is? Do ask her to your home so that you may get to understand each other. She will do so much better- work with your child if she knows a little of his family setting. Above all, do not act as if she were your child’s enemy, so that she feels there is opposition to her every move. Be her friend, for you and she are partners in shaping the future of the most priceless thing that you have. The school is only an­ other department of your home, and as such you should share in your care and interest. * * * 1 Boys do be thinking God must laugh The time He makes a'boy.

Stirring Address on World Copdi- 1 lions Given by Miss Pelton The fall rally of Huron Presby- ferial women’s Missionary Society of the Presbyterian church in Can­ ada was held in First Presbyterian church, Seaforth, on Tuesday, Sep­ tember 9th, with morning and after­ noon sessions. The devotional period charge of the Hensall Mrs. W. A. McLaren read turn lesson, and Mrs. H. led in prayer. Mrs. H. ■Seaforth, Presbyterial president, was the presiding officer,, and Mrs. R. Aberhart, of Seaforth, » brought' words of welcome to the visiting delegates. The Presbyterial treasurer, Mrs. T. Swan Smith, of Seaforth, gave an interim financial statement, showing a slight increase om last year, and stating the amount still to j be raised by each auxiliary, if the* allocation is to be reached in De­ cember. Some interesting suggestions, were brought forward by the secretaries for the various departments, add the supply secretary, Miss A. Macdon­ ald of Goderich, read letters of thanks from the hospitals at Can- ora, Saskatchewan, and Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, for hos­ pital supplies, and from the Indian School at Birtle, Manitoba, for the» outfits for boys and girls. A letter of appreciation was also read from the Indian Reserve at Lizard Point for the gift of quilts and baby clothes which met a real need. The roll call of auxiliaries was in charge of Miss L, Pelton, of To­ ronto, and each Society was asked to answei' the roll by stating its weakness, and what was being done about it. 1 Attendance, lack of interest, and lack of leaders for younger groups Were the chief problems, and many good suggestions were offered that had proved helpful in the various organizations. Miss Pelton urged that the members put more energy into the .quality of their programs, 'don’t be afraid to use those more ‘Every member has a gift of some kind. Don’t try to make them do things they are not fitted for, and i don’t be afraid to use more than i than once who are capable. A wo­ man with a friendly smile and a way of making people feel welcome, may not be able to take part in a meeting,,, but she is a grande asset to any Society, if given ' an oppor­ tunity to help in her own way.” Greetings from Presbytery were brought by the Moderator, Rev. W. Weir, of Hensall, who congratulat­ ed the members on the splendid work they were doing along mission­ ary lines, also upon their’ fine co­ operation in all the undertakings of the Church, and expressed the hope that the work would continue to prosper. The benediction was pro­ nounced by Mr. Weir and the morn­ ing session was brought to a close. A delicious lunch was served in th.4 basement of the church by . the Barbara Kirkman auxiliary, the tables being gaily decorated with flags and the new patriotic emblem, V. was in auxiliary, the Scrip- Workman Jack, of • persecution and its witness is grow-, ing.

The cow is a sacred animal, so must be fed, but is of no benefit to anyone, Thousands of babies are born with no future ahead of them, yet child marriage still goes on. The faith that is to con- ; trol India when she gains indepen­ dence will mean a great deal to the British Commonwealth, so we must keep our work going in every field. “In China we are reaping the benefit of our missionary work.

J; Mer-r riam’s subject was “Our Heritage, the * Church”, He reminded his hearers that this heritage was be­ queathed to them through the blood, sweat and sacrifice of its founders, It is not to be treated lightly by the present generation but through dedication' of purpose to be made even a greater instrument in the re­ demption of mankind from the thraldom- of sin. Rev. Mr, Mair, of Thames Road United Church, took as his text at the .evening ser­ vice, “Strengthen the Things that Remain,” reminding' his hearers that there' may be much darkness and forebodings of spirit but • that ;God remains and hence his Church remains, Speaking of the British Empire on Reconsecration Day, three things he stressed: faith, courage and hope. ‘ These are characteris­ tics possessed by an Empire* seek­ing to-retain freedom, for itse*lDand for all liberty-loving people.

The high­ light of the afternoon meeting was the address by Miss Pelton, who is promotion secretary of the Women’s Missionary Society of the Presbyter­ ian Church in Canada.' -The speaker began with the words of our Lord When He wept over Jerusalem, “If thou hadst known in this 'thy day the things that belong to thy peace,” and re­ ferred to another translation .read­ ing, “Would tliat you knew, too, on what your peace depends.” “Since the last war,” said Miss Pelton, “the so-called years of peace Were only a cessation of hostilities. We all talked of peace. Even ,in Germany for a few years the young people said there would be no more war. We had a hazy idea of what we wanted, but we were only build­ ing a roof,.
