Mrs. James Robinson opened the meeting with an appropriate -poem, "Our Need", followed by a hymn and prayer. She also presented the mission study, "Our -National Overseas Staff". National staff persons are able to get an overview of the church across Canada and around the world. The church is grateful for many people who serve the Lord and His Church so faithfully — superintendents of mission, Presbytery workers, ministers, ad- ministratorsand chaplains. Mrs. Robinson stressed that prayer support for the work they are doingis very im- portant and can be more fully developed by knowing and understanding the challenges they face. Many of these people struggle with a heavy workload and too often their work is taken for granted. During discussion period, thought-provoking concepts backed by scripture aroused interest for further study and reflection. Following the singing of a hymn, Mrs. Robinson closed with prayer for the national staff. Mrs. Mundell read the minutes of the February meeting and the roll call was answered by a verse or prayer for Easter. Mrs. William Smith reported that she had sent more than a pound of stamps to the Bible Society in London.

Mathers hosts Inst. meeting BLUEVALE .The presi- dent, Mrs. Charles Mathers, entertained 14 ladies at the March 13 meeting of the Women's Institute. After opening the meeting with a reading, she conducted the business. Mrs. R. Fraser gave the secretary's report and delegates were ap- pointed to attend the RSVP workshop April 10 in Brussels. The annual meeting of the local branch has been moved forward to April 9 and will be at the home of Mrs. S. Anderson, beginning at 2 p.m. Mrs. J. C. Johnston,.,agri- culture convener, presented the program. In answering the roll call, "Country sounds I like to hear",,men- tion was made of nature's bounties and our enjoyment of its beauty. Mrs, Walter Willits was then introduced and her topic 'was "Erosion". She made referencesto this area as well as to concerned MRS. CLEM McLELLAN conservation specialists, all the while illustrating the true value of farmland. Each year in this country, she, said, viable farmland amounting to the size of Prince Edward. Island is lost to erosion through careless usage, housing or industry. "Soil is more valuable than gold," she stressed. The survival' of the whole world depends upon this thin layer of topsoil, which is so easily removed. Mrs. Willits asked those present to do their best to preserve soil by instituting good cropping practices. Soil and its ingredients are good "' investments and since the production of food is not increasing as' quickly as the population, soil will become rare. The value of the earth will increase permanent wealth and to regenerate soil is a rewarding challenge. How- ever in the present economic crisis, she said, few young farmers can afford to follow Brussels Personals Mr. and . Mrs. Ken Mc- Donald, Don McDonald, Harold Bolger and Mrs. Mary Huether attended the funeral of the late Wallace Sholdice at St: John's Anglican Church, Port Credit, last Thursday.
