The president Mrs. Mil- ler, presiding: Mrs. Miller, Miss L. Walkinshaw and Miss L. Jervis took charge of the devotional part. Mrs. Miller chose as a devotional topic, "A Great .Word Salvation," which con- tained many beautiful thoughts, as salvation begins the moment the Sav- iour is called in. He alone is the un- erring physician. After the Thankof- fering Mrs. Innes gave the dedicatory prayer. Rev. Reba Hern of Varna addressed the meeting. Miss Hern is a dynamic speaker and, brought her audience many vital messages, presenting her ideas clearly and precisely. The theme of her address was from Acts 13, 2, "Paul's Call", The key note of which is the "Holy Ghost Said". "Hew,we, need that word of the Holy Ghost to- day." God does not want us to plan our work. Ile wants us to let Him by His spirit do the planning. Thit can only be done by praying and fasting: She defined fasting as not so much our doing without certain items of diet, as being able to give• to the point of sacrifice. God is calling us to be sep- arated unto Italy Ghost., If this is so, we cannot allow pettiness to interfere with our work for Him. Miss' Hern closed her discourse which was evan- gelistic in type by an urgent plea to her listeners' to be out and .out• Chris- tians, not to cling to the world and as a reward their individual com- munity and church life would be many timeshapp r ie . • A. solo, "The End of the Road" was sung by Mrs. W. A. Oakes with Mrs. Agnew accompanying. The Mizpah benediction closed the meeting after which Mrs. Cook's group which was in charge of the meeting served the lunch. . V The proprietors are unable to give any 'copse for the origin of the fire as when they locked up at 10.30 o'clock the previous night everything was ap- parently as usual.

Among the goods destroyed were. a number of completed suite and coats a large stock of, leather and rubber coats and a number of whsdbteakers. It will be difficult to replenish the stock under present war restrictions. Both proprietors are veterans of the First Great War and have been in business here for the past twenty - years.
