accompanied Mrs. Ross, was a most
pleasing feature of the anniversary.
Sabbath morning found the seating
capacity of the church over taxed and
chairs had to •be called into requisition
to accommodate a number. The pastor,
Rev. A. C. Wishart, B. A., conducted
the introductory devotional exercises.
Dr. Ross chose as his text Solomon's
Song, 6and to "Who is she that looketh
forth as the morning, fair as the moon,
clear as the sun and terrible as an army
with banners?" After briefly comment-
ing on the Srat portion of the verse the
tatter clause was dealt with clearly,
concisely and with the marked ability of
Dr. Ross as a pulpiteer. The text refers
to the church of the Most High and
possesses features worthy of notice and
commendation. (Olt isa united army.
It possesses life, love and loyalty. In-
cidentally the speaker referred to church
union and commended the massing of
forces and optimistically hoped for not

army. The objective is to conquer in
His name. Her warrant is to know.
grow, glow and go. Her actino not

00 May eth, 1884 a meeting of the ladies ole
Melville chu,•eh was salted to consider the ad-
visability- of organizing an auxiliary of the
W. P. M. S., the pe,sttor, Rev, Jno, Ross, B. A.,
presiding. After explanations and dissuasion
it was decided to organize and the following
officers were elected :—
President, Mrs. (leave RossSecretary,
Mrs: RobtMsleolm ; Treasurer,)llrs. J. Kerr,
May 22tnd an adjourned meeting was held
when the work of organization was completed
and the following managers appointed
Tufts, Mrs. Grieve, Mrs. Bennett, Mrs. A.
Stewart, Mrs, Martin and Mr's. D. Stewart,
The first regular meeting was held jute 17th
when 17 members were present quarterly
meetings bein66' held. First annual report
showed a tnembershlp of 27 and 255 in the
treasury, after expenses were paid, from June
1st to Des. 81st. In 1885 membership inot•eased
to 89 and contributions to 200 and it was decid-
ed to hold mouthlysesslons. iea0 closed with
46 members and *120.42. Iu Dee, of that year a
special meeting was held for the children
when their mite boxes were opened and 47.75
were added to the funds of the auxiliary. 50
was the membership in 1887 and in Decembar A
T}tankagiving service was held with the
regular meeting. In that year drat consign-
ment of clothing was sent to the Indians at
Round and Crooked Lakes where Rev. Hugh
Mcltay was Missionary. Brussels officersdid
extension work also in forming - auxiliaries at
Radios congregation and at Wroxeter. In re-
viewing annual reports it is shown that
interest WAS increased by s tntntbar writing
each month to a missionary in a foreign field
and occasionally replies came direct to the
Society which were hoard with great. interest•.
The Missionary Tidings also dui a great work,
which was read at the monthly meetings, now
almost. every member receives a copy.'Little
Stara" Mission Band was organized in 1886 and
has proved to be a very interesting and help-
ful society. First officers were :—President,
tire, McGowan ; Vice Pres., NM Lizzie Rosa ;
Secretary, Mise Mate Smith t - Treas., Miss
May Deadman Organist, Miss, Annie Thom-
son , Aest. Organist, Charlie itl,harda. Meet-
ings were held twice a month but now month-
ly. We have been favored a number of tines
by visite from returned misrianaries whose
addresses were inspiring and we were en-
couraged to press on and be thankful that we
are privileged to have ashore in helping carry
Olt the work of the Masi er, In 1902 our
auxiliary took up the study if •'Via and Lux
Christi" followed by "Rex Ohristus" and other
books, which proved a great stimulus to us.
Some inetnbera prepared and read a paper
each month from some pnrtieular subleet tak-
en from these books. Membership and oon-
tribators varied considerably during the hast
25 years, tete highest number being 51, with 46
at present and funds reaching as creditable a
sum as 022.88. A Sewing Circle was formed
in 1808 which hes lens done splendid work in
