S. room of the church on Tuesclaa. May 4th., at 3 o'clock with a good at- tendance, Mrs. H. Aitchison presided and opened the `meeting with a call to Worship. Prayer was offered by Mrs. E. Harrison. The minutes and correspondence were read by the secretary, Mrs, T, A. Currie, An invitation was• extended to the W.M.S, from Clinton W. A. to at- tend a meeting in Clinton Parish Hall, on May 19th, to hear Miss Scott, but that being the day of the Presbyterial at Whitechurch it was impossible to accept the kind invitation of the Clin- ton folk. A Thank you note was also read from the president of the Synodical, Mrs, Arthur Hamilton, Mrs. G. Olver and Mrs, L. Fortune were the delegates chosen to attend the Presbyterial on May 19th. Some girls have entered the Speak- ing Contest and prizes will be award- ed by the W.M.S. Mrs. T, A. Currie and Mrs. H. Aitchison are to select the judges. Scripture and meditation was taken by Mrs. W. Keith, after which hymn 450 was sung. Mrs. R, Mowbray gave a report on the -different items requir- ed for the bale for which a special col- lection will be taken at the June meet- ing. Mrs. John McKague and Mrs. W. McKague had charge of the topic "African Religion Old and New," and each gave a splendid paper, telling how people believe in spirits, ghosts and different gods. Animals and even human beings were somtimes offered as a sacrifice to these gods, Africans also believe in witch doctors, whom they think have all power. Superstition is the religion of Africa. They cannot understand so many divisions in the church. Communism is prevalent there also. African heathism is hell and only the gospel of Jesus Christ can help. The old beliefs are proving inadequate and the new is hard to understand. "I will not call him black, he is my friend." Miss K. Pringle led in prayer after which we were favoured with a piano solo by Mrs. N. Pickell. The roll call and treasurer's report followed and the Offertory prayer given by Mrs. G. Hastie. After the singing of hymn 254' Mrs. George Ter- vit closed the meeting with prayer. A short executive meeting followed.
