E, Armi- tage was Psalm 145, David's psalm Of praise, read in honor of St. David's Day, March 1st. After a short business session, Mrs, H. L. Parker introduced the guest speaker, Mrs. Taylor, wife of the rector of St. George's Church, Goderich and corresponding mere tary of the Diocesan W,A., who took as her subject, "The W.A„; What It Is and What It Does," She reviewed its background and traced its growth from its incep- tion in 1885 under Mrs. Roberta Tilton who guided its growth for the first few years until the present when it now has junior branches of G.A., J.A., and Little Helpers and includes members of all races in Canada, objectivesIts are to work and pray for missions and to diffuse Missionary intelligence by careful reading of the "Living Message" and missionary pamphlets so that interest in the work will be in- creased. In B.C. all church organizations of women are concentrated under the W.A. and that idea is extend- ing to other provinces. The work of the coltimbia Coast Miesion has extended greatly as new mining centres are opened in Northern B.C. and many parishes in N. Saskatchewan and Alberta need the support of the W.A. to provide maintenance for student ministers, The Anglican WoMen's Training School is providing help in par- ochial work as the one, two and three year courses given the girls and very similar to those given the men at Trinity and Wycliffe col- leges. The girls go out well equip- ped for welfare and social service and to do evangelistic work. The youth work has grown rapid- ly and this work among juniors is very important as it gives the girls a vital interest in missionary work. Missionaries abroad are finding a more settled life and a greater re- sponse to their tasks. Miss Elsa' Pieter and her brother are doing a fine work in India, she training girls in homemaking and hand- work and he training boys in good farming methods so they can better support themselves. In China five native bishops trained by missionaries have just been consecrated and the work has received new impetus, In Japan at the abuse sanatorium the doctors and nurses are all trained as missionaries as well as in the medi- cal field and do valuable evangel- istic labours. The obligations are many and varied and. Mrs. Taylor stressed that we in this favored part of our country should feel we could extend Progressive Euchre.
