first Executive and has served
on it .continuously ever since, the
only person to do so, Thus Huron
Presbyterial was pleased to rec
ognize her outstanding, contribiir
tion by presenting jher with an
engraved silver tray. This pre

This Presbyterial ,is proud to
have sent out four missionaries,
Miss, W. Trewartha, Miss Mar

Miss Maude Howell and Miss
Agatha Coultes. None of these
were able to 'be present.
Another feature of this twenty
fifth birthday was the beautiful
ly decorated three-tier cake, the
candles of which were lit by Mrs.

This very interesting and im
pressive celebration portion of
the meeting formed a part of
the afternoon session which was
conducted by Mrs. ,W. J. Greer.
The same hymns and Scripture
were used as a t that historic
meeting.
Mrs. C< Tavener, Holmesville,
the only representative of the
former Congregational Society
on the present Executive con
ducted a beautiful memorial ser
vice for the fifty-three members
who have passed away during
the past year. She also called
attention to the fact that six
hundred and seventy-three mem
bers have been
Service during
years. Of these
first Honourary
Hamilton, Mrs. Colborne and
Mrs. Wilson and three more were
former Presidents. Six calla Ill
ites. were added to the basket in
their memory. This- impressive
service was concluded by .singing
‘‘For all the Saints”.
Rev. S. Brenton, chairman of
the Presbytery, 'brought greet
ings from that group.
‘‘Oh How Fair is Thy World”
was beautifully sung by Mrs.

The Presbyterial was very
pleased -to ’ welcome back as a
guest speaker one who had also
helped plan the first Presbyter

After recalling some very pleas
ant memories she showed us
what great hardships are caused
when allocations aren’t met. She
pointed out that there are great
things to be done in the next
twenty-five years. Are we going
to have a share in them? Are we
going to be stumbling blocks ox*
stepping stones fox' the younger
generations?
We were also highly honoured
in having with us the President
of our London Conference
Branch, Mrs. L. C. White. It was
a happy co-incidence that she
was among those who had attend
ed the first meeting and she
also recalled pleasant, memories.
In her usual sincere manner she
brought a very challenging ad
dress. She said “The Church
marches on, on your feet”, and
that we must maintain the spirit
ual glow so tile missionary work
will progress,
At the conclusion of Mrs,
White’s address Miss Milne read
an address and small silver gifts
were presented to Mrs. Telford
and Mi’s, White by Mrs. Kirkby.
Miss Milne also pointed out that
a gift and a note were being sent
to Miss Sybil Courtice, a former
missionary to Japan, expressing
the Presbyterial’s sorrow that
through illness she had been un
able to be present to address
this anniversary meeting in hex'
home church.

and Courtesy Committee was
brought in by Mrs. 0. E. Erratt
of Goshen, she extended the sin
cere thanks of the meeting tn
the ladies of Ontario St, Church
for their fine hospitality.
Mrs. Wm. McVittie of West

fering.

of the regular work of the Pres
byterial. It was conducted by the
