A W oman ’s W orkshop j IT CAN BE DONE As the food-stuffs which we have always takexx for granted become 4aily harder to obtain, we housewives need feel no impatience with the situation, but even experience a little satisfaction from the knowledge that nt last skill and imagination will have their -place in the preparation of the family's food. After all, little of either has been necessary to con­ trive good meals if one could draw upon the abundant supplies of attrac­ tive food-stuffs offered by the shops of our times. But, deprived of these more luxurious viands, to be able to take such simple materials as come to hand, and of them create attractive and satisfying dishes — that is real craftsmanship, cooking then becomes not a drudgery, but aix art. Let us, then, gladly accept the challenge offered by our national emer­ gency, and prove that there still burns within us, something of that un­ beatable spirit that prevailed in the kitchens of our .pioneer grandmothers. —The Missus THE HOMEMAKER The work that’s waiting for my hand Is neither glorious nor grand; It will not bring me fame or praise, Nor win the crowd’s admiring gaze. Such simple homely tasks are mine, To clean my house, make windows shine, Plan meals with care, sweep, scrub and mend, And smiling turn to helps a friend. , The job that’s nearest may not be What we would choose, if we were free. Oui‘ task, perhaps, seems slight and small, Yet is not really so at all, Each bit of work, that’s finely wrought With care, and skill and loving thought, Is precious metal, wealth untold— So little, yet of shining gold. —Claire Ritchie * * * * * CORA HIND PASSES the KIDDY KORNER <» ... To-day the squirrels, up in walnut trees-, were using terribly bad language, so I went out to see the cause of the temper. Two cats were walking along under the trees and the squirrels began to pull off nuts and pelt them down on cats who looked so surprised, apparently could not figure where the trouble came from. a * * * * Two Rules Two simple rules for a contented life.

To­ ronto was her birthplace, but /jshe found the proper scope for her life work in the West when she joined the staff of the Free Press in 1901 and began to specialize in agricul­ tural affairs. Her industry, her zeal for fact- finding, and her command of lucid language combined to win for her speedy recognition _ as an expert authority upon agricultural condi­ tions and problems in the West, and the accuracy of her crop- forecasts, for the compilation of which she travelled thousands of miles every summer, carried weight in all tjie grain markets of the world, ’ and gained hex* international fame. She wrote always without fear or favor, loved a good controversy, and, al- •though she retired from her editor­ ial post in 1935, remained in writ­ ing harness to the last through a weekly contribution to the Prairie Farmer. Apart from- her high profession­ al competence, Miss Hind was a real character, with a marked per­ sonality; a warm-hearted woman who had hundreds of friends in every walk of life; and will long be remembered in the prairie country for her contribution to its up­ building.—Toronto Globe & Mail. * fl si: - . fl BACK TO THE ODD KIND Mrs. C.

Mrs. Kjrkby, secretary of Mission Bands, asked that moth­ ers and W.M.S. members encourage and help Mission Bands by their support and help with the programs.

Wouldn’t it be a good idea if we all got our­ selves a good thick note-book, in which we could keep and classify such recipes as seem of value to our particular needs? And speaking of new recipes, we have received, with the compli­ ments of The Montreal Standard, and through the kindness of its food editor, Mrs. valuable little book.

Atkin­ son, of the Clinton W»A., who was present at the inaugural meeting of Huron Deanery, held in Clinton on September 2, 1917. The cake was cut by Mrs. Carrie, of the God­ erich branch, another member who took part in that inaugural meet­ ing of 25 years ago. The Rural Dean, Rev, E. O. Gal­ lagher, of Wingham, presided and the speakers were Rev. Dunbar, of Goderich; Archdeacon Doherty, of London; and Mrs. ‘Graham, of Bay- field, the Deanery W.A. president, who spoke of that organization meet­ ing, The first officers were: Mrs. vice-president, Mrs. A. S. G. Clarke, of Goderich; secretary, Mrs. Goven- lock,. of Seaforth, and treasurer, Mrs. T. H. Brown, Seaforth, At the W.A. meeting messages of congrat­ ulation were received from former Deanery members and officers.

Greetings were also brought by Mrs. Doherty, of London and from the Cathedral and diocesan board by Mrs. Harding and the lowing lettei’ from his Lordship, Bishop of Huron was read: Dear Mrs. Graham: On the occasion of your 25th niversary celebration will youikjndly convey to the gathering this word: “Out of evil God’s sovereign power brings good.” And among many evidences already appearing of the fregh manifestation of this great truth stands the condition of* the Church of God in the world at this time—while the nations are fight­ ing one another in the most dead­ ly’ struggle in history—the Church is emerging into new significance as a catholic ox* world-wide power for good—truly man’s need is God’s opportunity —not for many centur­ ies, if ever‘'’before has the world­ embracing spirit and vision of the Church 'been so clear. That spirit is showing itself in co-operative ef­ forts, particularly of the non-Roman Communions, spreading everywhere. The forces of the Kingdom of Hea­ ven’ are marshalled^ to make the kingdoms of this world the King­ doms of God and of Christ. The Missionary movement in the church—so enormously stimulated and developed during the past century is of central significance and importance and with tlie other missionary forces of the Church— the W.A. holds an horoUrable place. I rejoice in the 25 years* service of the Huron Deanery W.A. I re­ call my late mother’s interest in it, as she spoke of its meetings af­ ter her return home from attend­ ing them. I therefore have a spec­ ial personal interest in the Huron W.A. I trust that the celebration of the anniversary will be a great inspir­ ation to all, and that you will go forward in the future with that high faith arid confidence which lias ways . characterized the women the church and lies at the root of great achievements of the W.A.

The guest speakers of the joint Conference lat^r, were Rev. Y, Cuth­ bert Robinson of Moosonee and Archdeacon Doherty, of London. Rev. Y. c. Robinson was born in Japan, the son of the missionary, Rev. J, Cooper Robinson, and he spoke of the missionary life of the church as its most important duty. The purpose of the church, he said, is to expand, to include all humanity, not fox* social or intel­ lectual improvement, not even for corporate worship alone, but to af­ ford man the opportunity to meet God, to worship, to go out for Him, and allowing Christ to work through- him to influence all with whom he comes in contact. The fundamen­ tal gin today, he said, is self-depen­ dence, trying to pull ourselves up, as It were by oui' own boot straps, while the only force in the world, the only hope fox* the world of to­ day is the gospel of Christ and we shall not win the war, shall not have lasting peace so long as man sets up his own judgment against God’s, Archdeacon Doherty’s topic was highlights of the General Synod Ex­ ecutive and Board meetings held in Poi't Arthur and Fort William in which he gave a resume of the M.S.C.C. work under present con­ ditions in Japan, China, India and Palestine, together with the pro­ gress made in our own home mission fields, of Town- lacer- Hand Caught in Knives Threshing Machine Lae McConnell, of Stanley ship, had his hand severely ated while threshing on the farm of W.
