ILIARY MEETING

phen’s Anglican Church, Gorrie, had
as their guest speakers on Wednes
day, Sept. 30th, Mrs. (Canon) Apple
yard, of Seaforth, President of W.A.,
and Mrs. Calder, Vice President of
W. A., of Goderich. A number pf
ladies from Fordwich W. A. and Gor
rie congregation were also guests.
The meeting was held in the Or
ange Hall, with Mrs. Holmes, Pres
ident of Gorrie branch, presiding, and
opened with hymn “Breathe on me,
Breath of God” after which Rev. A.
FI. O'Neil led in prayer. The Pres
ident then introduced Mrs. Appleyard
who gave a fine address on “The
Foundation of W. A. Work” which
she said was based on love—our love
and God’s love. She also spoke of
how important the Bible Society is
and the work done by them. After
singing “O Master, let me walk with
Thee” Mrs. Holmes introduced Mrs.
Calder, who spoke of the Christian
Religion as the common bond of dif
ferent countries throughout the world.
It is the lack of Christian religion and
love which breeds war. Wc should
study more of missions, as how can
we work for missions if we do not
know anything about them, and pray
er also, is most essential to mission
ary work.
After the meeting closed with
prayer, lunch was served by the Gor
rie W. A. to about forty ladies pres
