HAD FINE MEETING The regular monthly meeting of the Women’s Missionary Society of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church was held at the church last week with Mrs. Donald Rae, the president, in the chair. The meeting opened with the beauti­ ful poem “Have You And I To-Day” and the hymn "All ye that thirst ap­ proach the stream where living water flows.” Mrs. W. S. Mitchell read the Scripture lesson, and the Glad Tidings prayer was taken by Mrs. W. E. Hammond. A report of the W.M.S. Presbyterial was given by Mrs. H. F. McGee. This gathering was held at Kincardine. Mrs. J. Currie gave the dedicatory prayer. The topic “Can everyone have these quiet times?” was ably taken by Miss A. Me Burney. A report of the Provincial W.M.S. conference held at Brookville, was given by Mrs. Kenneth MacLean, Princess Alice, the Count­ ess of Athlone, was the guest speak­ er.

It was explained that many missionaries who were unable to carry on their work due to world con* ditions, had been placed in the home field, some had gone to Free China to labour there, The motto for the com­ ing year is “Hold fast, Be of good courage, go forward.” The •closing hymn was “O God of Love, O King of Peace, make wars throughout the world to cease,” after which Mrs. Jdhn Porter gave the dos* ing prayer; CONGRATULATIONS TO HURON CITIZENS But Let’s “Finish The Job” Properly The ipeople Huron County de­ serve to-be congratulated for the ex­ cellent way they have responded by reaching the Victory Loan quota m the first week of the present campaign. It is an achievement that is greatly ap­ preciated, However, there is still canvassing to be done, especially in the townships where a number of calls have yet to be made, and when the campaign clos­ es on June 21st, no resident of Huron County should feel content unless it may be said that all who could have subscribed to this important war ef­ fort by purchasing Victory Loan bonds. When it was announced that the present Victory Loan was for $600,- 000,000, it was believed by many that that amount is all that is required and that once each individual quota has been passed no more need be subscrib­ ed. However, nothing* could be more false as the Government needs over a billion dollars and not just six hund­ red millions for the Army, Navy and Air Force. Most quotas for the Victory Loan were set low on purpose in the belief that the people of Canada would sup­ port this loan with their whole heart and that it would be heavily over-sub­ scribed. The effect of this on the Brit­ ish people would obviously be of very great importance "and would hearten and cheer them greatly, whereas, on the other hand, it would have the op­ posite effect on the Germans and would serve to illustrate the determin­ ation of all Canadians to conquer the German nation. Here in Huron County a quota of $1,400,000 was set which is compara­ tively low when the savings in this County are taken into consideration as they are understood to be many times the quota. Much more than this quota is wanted and urgently needed and the objective should be to see how much above the quota can be subscribed and not to consider, now that the quota has been passed, that the job is done. The life of each individual Canadian man, woman and child is in extreme danger thi§ very‘minute and it is only by toiling, sweating and sacrificing now that we will have any chance of avoiding the .blood and tears which are sure to follow unless the Germans are beaten decisively and soon. All that is being asked is that we should lend our savings to assure vic­ tory. Surely that is the very least that we can do. Never was so much owed to so many by so few in this war. The least we can do is to make it possible to equip our Army, Navy and Air Force with better eqpipm'eht than any other country attef to do rt1’8! much money is needed and needed now. t Many people have already subscrib­ ed to this Victory Loan and it is very creditable that Huron County should be the second to reach its quota but much more than the quota is needed and needed very urgently. If you can subscribe more than you have already, or if you felt before that you were un­ able to but realize now that you can help, a canvasser will be glad to call on you and it would assist greatly if you would contact your locai Victory Loan Committee and request a can­ vasser be sent to se you, or if you. wish, your banker would be pleased to attend to the whole matter once he has heard from you. Attended Magna Carta Celebration YMt'. and Mrs. Duncan Kennedy at­ tended the Magna Carta demonstra* tion which was held in Niagara Falls, N,Y„. the latter part of last week/ Mr, Kennedy reports it a wonderful gath* ering. The parade which was the fin­ al part of the program, was so large that it took over three hours and a half to pass a given place. The parade con­ sisted of veterans, soldiers, bands, floats, etc. FLOWER SERVICE AT ST. PAUL’S The Altar Guild of St. Patti’s Church had the church beautifully de« corated with flowers for the Sunday morning annual Flower Service.
