Circles, C.G.I.T. groups and Evening
Auxiliaries to be held at .6:30 p.m. on
October 17, at Ontario St. (Church/
Clinton., An urgent invitation was
given all girls and young women to

Following these reports a lively
helpful discussion ensued conducted
by our past president, Mrs. A. W.
Gardiner, Egmondville.
The treasurer, MrS. H. G. Steinberg,
Seaforth, reported an increase in giv
ings so far this year over last.
The, morning session ended with

At the noon hour the Union ladies
Served a delicious dinner.
Fordwich Auxiliary, represented by
Mrs; J. Jchnsfon and Mts. J, Bryans,
conducted the afternoon worship per
iod, the theme of which was /'Love.’f
“Let Us 'not love in word, neither in
tongue but in deed and in truth” was
a quotation used,
Mrs. Tavener read a letter from the
Community Friendship secretary^ Mts.
R, M. Reck, “I think of others” was
I the keynote.
I The ,ga.est speaker, Rev. R. A.
J Brook .o.f Hensail', chairman of Huron
Presbytery, was introduced by Rev.
Harold .Snell. The value of missionary
work .to the .world at large as we see
I it in the light of the war was the
theme o.f his stirring message. In con
gratulating .the W. M. S. on the work
i it has accomplished he pointed out
j .that only one quarter of our church
women .are .interested in Missions.
What .a lot .could be accomplished if
the other .three-quarters could be
aro.used.1 He .said that we cannot have
a world safe to live in that is half
pagan and half Christian. Also that
if Chris.tianiiy had .been more active
in the last fifteen or twetny yeprs
and if more money had been spent
on Missions our world .wouldn’t be
in the chaos it now is. He contended
that our best war workers are *also
our best church and W. M. S, work
ers and that it would be a tremen
dous' mistake to answer o.ur patriotic
call and ignore the call of the church
and missions.
Christ must be supreme if world
conditions are ever to become righted.
We must begin now to plan for re
construction. He gave as a slogan,
“Forward for Christ and His Church.”
Mrs. R. G. Nay of Fordwich* pres-
byterial president, brought the meet*
.ing a thoughtfull message. She urged
.that the enthusiasm re-kindled at this
meeting be not allowed to die down
and that we should re-consecrate our
selves to the work of bringing in
God’s Kingdom. She made an apt
quotation, “I shall Cease to preach
your duty and be more concerned
about mine.”
Miss Caroline Wellwood brought in
the .report of the resolutions and
courtesy committee thanking all those
who had ^contributed to the success
of the meeting, also urging temper
ance consciousness, and renewed in
terest in the missionary cause.
During the day the literature table
was in charge*of Miss O. P. New*
man of Clinton.
Another very interesting and help*
ful convention was brought to a close
with a delightful chorus by members 1
of the Mission Sand of Union. <
Snake Visits Jeweller
Kill Schmid, local jeweller^ while at
his work bench last week dropped ond
F
of his tools, and leaning down to pick
it up, discovered he had a visitor. It
was a snake, not a big one, but still
a snake. It was eight or ten inches
long, and apparently full grown. Bill
got it into a bottle and “pickled” it
in alcohol.—Lucknow Sentinel.
