GALLANT POLAND
Poland's conduct in the present war is beyond all praise. She
is not hindered by text book war methods. 'She is fighting for her
homes, for liberty, for her very existence. Accordingly she has put
her back into this terrible enterprise with no idea of fighting straw
men or of testing out mere theories.
The radio station that “tapped” and broadcast government sec
rets should be silenced and its owners and operators fittingly pun
ished. But what of the stupidity of the government officials who
let themselves open to the action of such miscreants? We are living
. in war times. Blunderers are not to be taken lightly, when men’s
lives are at .stake. The experience of the members of the Light Bri
gade in the 'Crimean War taught that lesson.

The September rally of the Huron ’
Presbyterial Women’s Missionary So
ciety of the Presbyterian Church ip
Canada was held in Knox Church in
Goderich, on Tuesday, Setember 12th
with representatives present from
Auburn, Blyth, Bayfield, Clinton,
Exeter, Belgrave, Hensail, Seaforth and Goderich. "
Mrs, D, J. Lane, -president, opened :
the meeting. Mrs, Hueston, of Au- :
burn gave the Scripture reading and ,
Mrs, Howatt, of Auburn offered the
prayer.
Mrs, J. H. Barrett, president of :
Goderich Women’s Missionary So
ciety, extended a warm welcome to '
the delegates, to which Mrs. Lanef
graciously responded. The treasurer,
Mrs. T. Swan Smith, of Seaforth,
told the members she had received
$1184.77.
Mrs. Lane in her -presidential ad
dress stated that today we are 'beset
with many problems and that the
Church of Jesus Christ suffers from
indifference and the followers of our
Master find many discouragements in
missionary endeavor. The mission
ary commission of our Saviour Jesus
Christ is still ringing out as ever,
but sometimes we are too engrossed
with ourselves and our own affairs,
and command is feebly carried out.
The speaker made reference to the
slendid work of Miss McArthur and
Miss Hazel McDonald.
At the close of her remarks, Mrs.
Lane called on (Miss H. I. Graham, of
Seaforth to read one of her poems,
composed since the outbreak of the
war, entitled “Be of -Good Cheer.”
Greetings were conveyed from the
Presbytery by Rev. A. M. Boyle, of
Blyth, who closed the morning ses
sion with prayer.
Miss Campbell, of Seaforth opened
the afternoon session with the Scrip
ture reading, followed by prayer
given by Mrs, H. Jack, of Seaforth.
Mrs. John Williams, of Toronto,
who was introduced by Mrs. F, R.
Redditt, in the course of her force
ful address said: “We meet today
under a cloud: that cloud of conflict
which weighing so heavily on our
hearts, with its weight of cruelty
and hatred. Many are asking. What
of the future? We remember in the
last war how women were called to
the service of fellowship and again
today we are calling our members to
prayer for the Empire and the
Church. It is on the service of our
women that our Society depends, and
we must hear God’s call and rely up
on His guidance. The growth of our
Society depends upon interesting
members, by reading and studying
and by social contact. The Book of
Books should be the book of our
households and of our lives. The wor
ship service may make or mar your
whole program” she declared, after
telling how one woman took thirty-' i five minutes out of an hour and a '
quarter. j
“Giving must be followed by doing
to reach accomplishments in growth.
Objections heard in connection with
enrollment of members were: No
stated income; the local church needs
us. Money is not always the first
fruits of the earth. There would be
a definite period for prayer. The
missionary church needs us. The
light that shines the farthest is the
one that shines brightest at home.”
The inspirational message was fol
lowed by prayers offered by Miss H.
I. Graham, Seaforth; Mrs. T. Ward
law Taylor, Goderich and Mrs. D. C.
Hill, Exeter.
Five members of the MacGilliv-
ray Mission Band, Goderich, accom
panied by Mrs. Alex Stratton, Goder
ich, contributed a chorus, and a de
lightful duet was rendered by Mrs.
J. A. Munn and Mrs. W, J. Wright,
Seaforth, accompanied by Mrs. W. R.
Rennie, of Seaforth.
A most interesting and inspiring
meeting was brought to a close with
-prayer offered by Mrs. D. J. Lane.
The Kippen East W. I. met at the
home of Mrs. Louis Clark on Wed
nesday evening September 6th with
a good attendance. The president ■ presided and opened the meeting with 1
community singing
“The Institute Ode” 4‘Oh God Our
Help in Ages Past”
Laurie” then followed the Lord’s’
Prayer, The poem “Growth in Life”
was read by Mrs. Edgar Butt. Mrs.
Clark and Mrs. Glenn read the story
Of their farms. Current events was a
general discussion on the world hap
penings during the last few weeks,
led by Mrs. G. McLean. The motto,
“The old order changeth yielding
place to new and God fulfils himself
in many ways,” was given by Mrs.
W. McLean, who gave a very inter
esting paper on this subject. This
,was followed by an equally interest
ing paper on the subject. Homemaker
versus Housekeeper by Mrs. W. Dil
ling. Mrs. J. Sinclair read the second
paper in the Series on noted Cana
dians, her subject being Laura Se
cord. Mrs. W. Dilling and Mrs. M.
Traquajr favored with the sang “Ju
anita.” Mrs. W. Cole gave a good
paper on towelling and blankets.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read by Miss A. Dinnen who is leav
ing the neighborhood and the Insti
tute took this opportunity to present
her with a small gift in appreciation
of her services. Mrs. A, McGregor
read the address and Mrs. Glenn Sla
vin presented the gift. An unusual
musical number was the illustration}
of two lullabies, “Rock a Bye” and
“Good Night, Mr. Sandman is Call
ing” with Mesdamess McLean, Mc
Gregor Caldwell, Cooper and Bell
taking part. The roll call, “My Ma
ternal Grandmother’s Name,” was
fully answered. A debate, “Resolved
that our present rural neighborhoods
have lost the sociability of pioneer
days” with Mrs. W. Doig and Miss
Laura Tremeer for the affirmative
and Mrs. R. Dalrymple and Mrs, J.

SIMPLY NOT CRICKET
If it is true that the United States are selling airplanes and
such materials to Italy while refusing to sell such articles and com
modities to (Canada and to Great Britain and France, she is helping
Germany and thereby hindering the western democracies. The day
for pussy footing is past.
And by the same token, Italy is an ally of the assailants of
Poland. To sell munitions of war to Italy is to sell bombs to drop
on Polanders and explosives to destroy Polish homes and schools
and hospitals. Thoughtful Polanders may well say “He who is not
with us is against us.”
**** ****
SPEEDING UP
It is easy for Canadians living at a distance of 3,000 odd miles
from the scenes of hostilities to tell Britain that she should be
speeding up her war operations. It is easy to say that Britain’s war
planes should be destroying German legions now ruining Poland.
Meanwhile Canada is not represented by a single Canadian division
on any of the battlefields, nor is she likely to be. Of course Canada
will supply food and munitions - for a consideration.
But let it be remembered that the youth of Montreal and Van
couver and Halifax and from every province in the Dominion Is eager
to fight with the youth of Old London and Manchester and Glasgow,
were they but given the chance. Meanwhile recruiting lags in Can
ada because it is not given the encouragement It needs.
