St. Andrew’s W.M.S.
The regular monthly meeting of
the Women’s Missionary Society of
St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church
was held on Wednesday afternoon of
last week with Mrs. Donald Rae, the
president, in charge. The Glad Tid
ings prayer was given by Miss J.
Warwick and the dedicatory prayer
by Mrs. H. C. MacLean, Miss C. Mc-
Burney read the Scripture lesson, He
brews 11th chapter. Prayers for “In
crease in Faith” were given by Mrs
A. E. Lloyd, and for “Peace” by Mrs.
W. J. Henderson,. A very interesting
paper on the work of Miss M. Mur
ray, the W.M.S. Hospital visitor, was
given by Mrs. John Porter. “Though
your sins be as scarlet” was sung as
a duet by Mrs. D. Kennedy and Mrs.
W. Henderson. The topic "The Need

with
law and usage.” It was also stated
that “although social progress is re
gistered more permanently in persons
helped, educational attainments, and
in character-building than in bricks
and mortar, yet the W.C.T.U. can
proudly point to their achievements
registered in buildings and monu
ments. Willard Hall in Toronto has
ministered to hundreds of girls away
from home in the city, and has given
them the pleasures and comforts of a
home with class-rooms for lectures
and study courses as well as recrea
tion rooms for social gatherings, and
a well equipped gymnasium and swim
ming pool with instructors. London
and St. Catharines Unions also own
W.C.T.U. buildings. Kingston and
Brockville have just presented their
communities with marble drinking
fountains as memorials of the Frances
Willard Centenary. At least two full
time Field Secretaries are at work re
gularly in Ontario doing- temperance
education work. One of these secre
taries specializes in work in Day
Schools. Alcohol education is the
foundation of temperance advance.
The' W.C.T.U. believes that the hope
of the future is in the careful educa
tion of the children and youth of to
day.
In eight counties the W.C.T.U. has .
prison visitors. Toronto District Un
ions send good cheer parcels to col-
diers in hospital in Toronto once a
week. Church workers especially
should lend a hand in W.C.T.U. ef
forts, because nothing destroys the
image of God in the human heart so
Rapidly or so completely as the Drink
Habit, unless it be the use of other
narcotics. The W.C.T.U. is a truly
patriotic society for it aims at mak
ing Canada a land of happy homes by
taking away the liquor traffic that
shadows so many homes.
Mrs. W. Kennedy then sang a solo,
which was much enjoyed by all. Mrs,
George Johnston, of Goderich, the
County President of the W.C.T.U.,
then gave a most interesting account
of the W.C.T.U. convention which
was held last month in Wesley Unit
ed Church, Galt. She Urged us to read
the addresses given at the convention
by Rev. George Little, Mrs. John
Wright and others, which are to be
found tn the November copy of “The
Canadian White Ribbon Tidings” —
“our only national temperance jour
nal, written by women for women.”
Another hymn was sung, after
which Mrs, J, F. Anderson closed the
meeting with prayer.

ty members and visitors were present.
The meeting was opened by the sing
ing of a hymn, followed by the Lord’s

a most delightful talk based upon the
passage read. Mrs. Kelly read the
minutes of the last meeting and Mrs,

Mrs, Lloyd conducted the Clip
