St Paul's Church Before an interested gathering of laymen and clergy last' Monday af- ternoon the Rev Archdeacon Graham placed the needs of the church in Western Canada in a simple but con- vincing manner. He outlined the absolute necessity for more earnest and intelligent support, financial and spiritual, by the church in the east. The Archdeacon, who came from Nelson, B. C., and who was the chief speaker, was introduced by Mr. It. -S. Williams of Wingham, Chairman of the Laymen's Association of the JOeanery of Huron, under whose au- spices the inaugural meeting was held. The excellent dinner, with which the meeting opened, was •served in the parish hall by the ladies of the W. A. Following Archdeacon Graham's speech was a free discussion. of the problems raised, More economical methods of finance Were proposed and the ncetl.of greater effort on the part of the Deanery itself was ac- knowledged, Motions urging both these courses of action were' passed by the meeting, after considerable discussion in which, 'amongst other laymen, Mr. John Ransford took a leading part, ably assisted by Lt. - Col. Combe. The meeting enjoyed intensely the good-natured badinage in which these two gentlemen to- dulged, while Mr. Ransford ably led the discussion concerning finance. During remarks by Revs. A. A. Trnnpce, R. 0, 'Pitts and W. 13, Hawkins the meeting learned much that was interesting about conditions in •other missionary Dioceses, and had impressed upon it the need for much greater o nar ion i th these outlaying posts of Christianity. The benediction by Rev, Rural. Deal Snell concluded the meeting. Tea Was serried by the ladies, .to When a hoat'ty vote of thanks was: tendered, for their hospitality, .
