jMiss C. Isbister, in the chair.
After'the opening hymn Mrs. West

have the clocks made and distributed
as a means of raising the money.
An excellent paper prepared by
Miss Johnson, was read by Miss Mc
Laughlin. As an introduction to the
new study book “Moving Millions”,
it was really an outline of the history
of the various' tribes and religions,
that exist in India to-day.
The Dravidians of a higher civiliza
tion came down through the moun
tain passes centuries.ago and the or
iginal inhabitants retired to the hills,
these people are known to-day as the
Bhils.
Later came the Aryans introducing
the caste system. They were agri
culturists and regarded the cow as
holy. The men who became priests
formed the Brahmin’ class and consid
ered all others inferior to them. To
strengthen their positions they allow
ed the Dravidians to come into their
fold bringing their gods, this mixing
resulted in Hinduism. Outside the
caste system are millions of people
who are classed Hindu but are not
accepted in religions or social circles
and are known as untouchables and
treated as unclean.
The. Moslems t invaded India and
for years held control. The beautiful
mosques and temples are,the' remains
of the grandeur of the Mogul Em
pire./ These people are very proud
and distinct in every .way from the
Hindu. ■ -
The British finally established
trade and government and mission
aries are now laboring to free India
from the darkness of the caste sys
tem and superstition to the light and
love found in Christianity.
• After Mrs. D. Kennedy sang “Jesus
knows and understands” the meeting
was brought to a close. The remaind
er of the evening was spent in. sew
ing after which refreshments
served.
Rev. J, F. Anderson announced to
his congregation on Sunday morning
that fie had accepted their invitation
to remain as pastor for another year.
A largely signed petition requesting
Mr. Anderson to stay another year
was presented to the official board
of the church last week and they en
dorsed it. Mr. Anderson had previ
ously. resigned.
Mr. Anderson starts his sixth year
as pastor here in July. Only one oth
er minister has served this church for
a five year period, Rev. Sidney Davi
son, all other minister's' terms were
four years or less.
Many of Mr. Anderson’s friends
outside of his own congregation will
be very pleased that he has decided
to remain in our community for an
other year. He has taken an interest
[ in the affairs- of the town and is a
I valued member of the Public School
Board. Mr. Anderson has been very
active in young people’s work, hav
ing organized the C.G.I.T., Tuxis,'

mounted the sidewalk, causing the

town cranked his car, which was
standing on John Street, near Smith’s
store. The car was in reverse gear
and it careened across the street with
the 66-year-old Mr, Dttsfow in hot
pursuit. Before it came to rest it had.
jumped-' the high curb and banged the
curved portion of the now Hydro

close to the other curved portion of

The regular meeting of The Wo
men’s Missionary Society was held In
the Sunday School room on Tuesday
afternoon. A goodly number of lad
ies were present at this, the first
! meeting of the new year.
Mrs. G. W. Ross was in the chair
for the opening exercises. After’ the
singing of a hymn and the repetition
of the Lord’s Prayer in unison, Mrs.
VanWyck gave a reading especially
suited to the New Year. Mrs. Wil- .
liams led in prayer followed by the
Scripture reading by Mrs. W, J, Ad
ams based on Luke 15, verses 1 to
. 10. “Christ has no hands but ours to
do tHis work to-day?’ Mrs. Laidlaw
led in the next chapter of the Study
Book ‘‘Making Canada Christian” and
outlined the work of our church and
told how we are helping to accomp
lish this through the-work of our tea
chers in the schools, our doctors and
nurses in missionary hospitals, and
those missionary ships which sail
here and there wherever souls are -to
be saved, carrying the story of how
Christ came that we may live life and
live it more abundantly.
Mrs. Greer, the President, then
took the chair and called for the re
ports of the year’s work. She gave
an inspiring talk in calling on all to
do their best, in the year we have
before us, to profit by our mistakes
and resolve that, though we shall
make mistakes again, we shall not
make the same ones. She said, we
always have time to do what we want
to do, so let us this year resolve to
have time to do everything in our
power to further the Master’s Work.
The reports showed a very decid
ed increase in every department. 11
new members were added to the roll.
Bales werevsent West, both in spring
and fall. $676.76 was sent to the
Branch Treasurer and the money this
year came in without a special drive
having to be made at the last mo
ment, The Group system has again
proven its worth. It is a wonderful
aid not only financially but socially
for it seems that in these group meet
ings we get much closer to each oth
er than in the meetings of the month,
17 letters were written to our be
reaved member and at Christmas we ;
sent a special W.M.S. 'card to 14 of

with prayer.
