Mrs. Hogg, Mrs, Mollard and Mrs. Gardiner are now deceased. Of the remainder Mrs. Kirkby, Mrs. Tavener, M'rs. Greer were pres­ ent and spoke briefly. Besides being a formex* president, Mrs. Greer was on the committee that laid plans for the original Pres­ byterial meeting; she was on the 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 sentation was made by Miss M. Milne. This Presbyterial ,is proud to have sent out four missionaries, Miss, W. Trewartha, Miss Mar­ garet Mustard, now Mrs. 'Crooks, 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. R. G. Nay, Fordwich. 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. Bennett. The Presbyterial was very pleased -to ’ welcome back as a guest speaker one who had also helped plan the first Presbyter­ ial, Mrs. George Telford, Oshawa. 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. The report of the Resolutions 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 field dedicated the afternoon of­ fering.
