Knox inducted the officers and told the members that a church is only as strong as its missionary sense. When a church limits its interests to its own needs, it dies spiritually. A church grows and develops when its interests go beyond the limits of the parish to the needs of others. The W.A., by its very con­ stitution, is obligated to forward the idea of missions. It is a vital part of the organization in a parish because it represents the outreach of that parish, it saves us from a smug sense of paroch­ ialism. I-Ie appealed for the sup­ port of members in prayer. He suggested the use of the church for private prayer to further the work of the church in this com­ munity and to pray for the needs of others. The W.A. decided to give a generous donation to the Colum­ bia Coast Mission and to the Church Restoration Fund and also to the Budget. All Diocesan pledges were authorized to be paid in full.
