This year, the women of the Presbyterian Church in Canada will gather in Montreal on May 8, 9, and 10, in the Church of St. Andrew and St, Paul, to commemorate a century of or- ganized Presbyterian women's Shower Held At Citadel A bridal shower was held in the basement of the Salvation Army Citadel Monday evening in honour of Miss Janette Hen- derson, whose marriage takes place this month. Miss Hender- son received many useful and beautiful gifts and graciously thanked everyone. Games, contests, and a sing -song were enjoyed with Mrs. Lloyd Hayden at the pi- ano. Mrs. S. Henry presented Miss Henderson with a recipe box containing recipes and household hints, etc., which had been contributed by the guests. The shower was attended by 83 friends and relatives. • A delicious buffet luncheon was enjoyed which had been prepared by the hostesses, the Home League ladies of the Sal- vation Army and friends. The chair was tastefully decorated with pink bows and a bell. work in Canada. Almost immediately after its formation this small group supported a missionary at Cote St. Paul and started a school on Dorechester Street. A few years later they secured the services of a French Bible woman, Ma- dame Cote, who ministered to the French poor for over 30 years. Working among the English-speaking poor at the same time was a deaconess, Miss McIntyre. As interest increased in the larger mission of the church, money and clothing were sent to India, and the salary of Dr. Lucinda Graham in Honan, China, was underwritten. A few years later, in 1900, Dr. Susan McCulla was sent to India and in 1901 Miss Agnes Dickson and Miss Isabella Little started work among the women and children in South China. In 1904 the name of this group became "The Woman's Missionary Society" . These were the beginnings in Mont- real. Early in 1876, the Toronto daily papers carried notices of a meeting to consider forming a Woman's Society for Foreign Missions, and on March 21st, 1876, the Women's Foreign Mis- sionary Society was organized. In 1885 this society adopted the motto "The World for Christ". This is still the motto of the society and will be the theme of the celebrations in Mon- treal, With the discovery of gold in the Klondyke and the subse- quent opening up of the Canad- ian West, a need arose for help SELLING OUT SALE STILL IN FULL SWING LARGE STOCK STILL AVAILABLE.

John Prin- gle, ministering to 1200 miners in Atlin, B.C., asked the wo- men of the church to send out Christian nurses at once, as men were dying for lack of care, The Atlin Nurse Com- mittee was formed, and includ- ed representatives from nearly every Presbyterian congregation in Toronto. In July, 1899, Miss Elizabeth Mitchell and Miss Helen Bone arrived in Atlin. Their first hospital was a small cabin with a mud roof and sawdust floor, and held four cots. Then the cabin be- came crowded and a tent was put up beside it. The following spring everyone in camp gave free labour and St. Andrew's Hospital, the first Presbyterian hospital in Canada, was erect- ed. As the home mission work of the church grew, more hospi- tals were opened and schools and residences built and the Women's Home Missionary So- ciety was born in May, 1903. On May 15th, 1914, in Knox Church, Toronto, these three women's groups came together to form the Women's Mission- ary Society (W, D.) of the Pres- byterian Church in Canada. This, then, is a double cele- bration -- 100 years of organiz- ed Presbyterian women's work, and 50 years since the amalga- mation of the three groups. Reception for Mr. and Mrs. Dow WHITECHURCH—A recep- tion and dance were held in the Community Memorial Hall on Friday evening for Mr. and Mrs. Donald Dow (Gloria Stobo). A large crowd gathered and enjoy- ed dancing to music by Tiffin's orchestra with the calling off being done by Fred Deacon of Gorrie. At lunch time Mr. and Mrs. Dow were called to the plat- form when George McGee read an address to the newlyweds and Lloyd Whytock presented them with a coffee table and a gift of money. Mr. Dow thank- ed those who had planned the evening's entertainment for them and to all folks in attend- ance. This community extends best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Dow.

There will be a guest book. During the past months sev- eral parcels of gifts have been received from church groups and members of the Women's Institutes at Belmore, Lakelet, Wroxeter, Bluevale, Belgrave and Wingham.

These gifts not only encourage the people in charge of the work in the local branch, but make it possible to add cheer and a helping hand to those who are ill, without drawing on general funds which are needed for re- search and other projects of the Cancer Society. The daffodil tea is held to draw attention to the annual canvass which takes place in April. A cordial invitation is extended to all ladies in Wing - ham and district.
