At Henan The annual rally of Huron Presby- terial Women's Missionary Society, of the Presbyterian Church in Canada was held. in Carmel Presbyterian Church, Hensall, on Tuesday, Sep- tember 10th, with morning and after- noon sessions. There was an excellent attendance of delegates from Auburn, Bayfield, Blyth, Belgrave, Goderich, Exeter, Hensall and Seaforth. The visitors were welcomed by Mrs. 0. Hudson, president of Hensall Auxiliary, and 1 the devotional exercises were in charge of the Seaforth senior and Barbara Kirkman evening auxiliaries. The Presbyterial president, Mrs. Hugh 'Jack of Seaforth, gave a splen- did address based on the -message given by God to Joshua, "Be strong and of good courage, and the Lord, He it is that doth go before thee." "This is a verse we all need to- day," said the speaker. "We need it as a nation, as individuals, and as a branch of the church of Christ. Joshua and his men needed this vies - sage. They were about to enter the land of Canaan and they knew it would be no easy task, yet they went forward knowing that God was with them as He had promised. We, too, are meeting tasks that are hard during these trying days, and we need the courage and strength that come from close communication with God. Next year is to be `girls year' in our Women's Missionary Society; let us pray that all the leaders in this part of our work may be able to help the girls to find for them- selves the source of true strength and courage—Jesus Christ. As they go out into the world they will need courage, to live honestly, live simply, and to speak frankly against the things that would harm the soul and spoil the character. How can we help?" suffering. When His disciples began to carry on the work, theymet with persecution, and for a time it seemed terribly discouraging, but relying on God for strength they went forward and the early 'church prospered in spite of all who tried to hinder. St. Paul said, "If we suffer with Him, we shall also reign with Him," and the same -message carnes to us today from those to whom Christ is all in all. In China with its suffering mil - ions, many of them are turning to Christianity, as the only thing that can give them help and comfort. Let us hold fast our faith in God, whieh alone can give us strength and :cour- a.ge to face the days that lie ahead." The president expressed the thanks of the . members to Mrs. Smith, and welcomed Mrs. Larlcin, a former Presbyterial president and 'a.worker in the Presbyterial for twenty-seven years. Mrs. Larkin expressed her pleasure in being able to attend the meeting, and congratulated' the -mem- bers on the: 'splendid work they are, doing. PAGE S' In closing the speaker referred to the matter of giving. "There are many calls for money today, and we must do all we can for our country and the Empire of which we forum a part, but we must still put the church first, even though it may mean sacri- ficing something else that is less im- portant. Prayer and self-denial are needed today as ever before; may we go forward with new allegiance to God, who will never leave nor forsake us." The Presbyterial treasurer, Mrs. T. Swan Smith, reported that $1,100 had been reeeived to date and urged that each auxiliary make a special effort to make sure that the allocation will. be reached in December. The roll ea was answered by the respoile 'f each auxiliary to the question, "What are you doing to in- crease Glad Tidings subscriptions?" and several helpful suggestions were given for this department of the work. Timely remarks by the secretaries of the various departments were en- couraging, and will lead to greater interest and efficiency in the work of the Presbyterial. Rev. Hugh Jack of Seaforth brought greetings from the Presby- tery of Huron and closed the morn- ing session with prayer.

Lane, and gave a. splendid address of an inspirational character. "One of the questions we meet with everywhere today," said the speaker, "is, why do the wicked prosper? It isn't a new question; all through the Old and New Testaments we meet with it, and people have tiled to find the answer. When Jesus came He didn't have life made easy for Him; he was despised and rejected of men in spite of all the good He had done, yet He triumphed through all the A. delightful solo was sung by Mrs. W. A. MacLaren, followbd by prayers by Mrs. A. M. Boyle of Blyth,' Mrs. A. Porterfield of Belgrave, and Mrs. 3. H. Barnett of Goderich.

COLEMAN, Under-Secretary of State. The above is verbatim copy of Proclama- tion appearing in The Canada Gazette, No. 25, Vol. ixxty, September 13th, 1940. P-14 Published for the information of those concerned by the authority and courtesy of HONOURABLE JAMES G. GARDINER, Minister of National War Services, FLYING TO BE CONTINUED HERD DURING WINTER Air training will be carried on dur- ing the winter across Canada almost; as effectively as in the summer, James S. Duncan, Deputy Minister for air, said in Ottawa tecentiy. The days will be shorter, but on the other hand air conditions tend to be more uniform in the winter, he said. One proposal has reached Ottawa that training be transferred from Canada to Florida, Mr. Duncan added, but he said such a step never had been considered 'by the Air Ministry. The entire British Commonwealth air training plan has been developed with the idea that cold weather would not interfere with flying. In the last war some Canadian fliers trained in Southern States af- ter the United States became a bellig- erent, bet since then, with the use of skis, winter- flying has become com- mon in Canada. No overtures have been made to United States to per- mit training in that country. From time to time there have been reports in Washington that indicated that several leaders in. Southern Stat- es had expressed a desire to help Can- ada's war effort by making flying fa- cilities there available for teaching young Canadians to fly where the climate would be less severe, NO BENEFITS FOR 'UNNATURALIZED VETS By recent' Order--in-Council bene- fits . of the War Veterans' Allowance Act shall not be extended to persons who are not naturalized Canadians. The Act,as originally passed, pro- vided assistance to any veterans who fought the Great War in His Ma- jesty's Forces or with forces of His Majesty's Allies. The regulation is aimed at Italian veterans who are MUST NOTIFY REGISTRARS OF CHANGES A. change of address or in matri- monial status in the case of persons liable to be called for military trcun iing under the National War Services Regulations must be immediately re- ported to the divisional registrar in the district where that person resides. Failure to do so will incur penalties of fine or imprisonment. FREE-WILL GIFTS T.OTAL $756,000.00 Ottawa: The latest list of free- will money gifts to he issued by the Department of Finance brought the total of contributions to the Domin- ion Treasury for war purposes to $756,000. This total is largely made up of contributions from thousands of in- dividuals in Canada and in the Unit - eel States, Large donations from organizations and firms helped to boost the total to its present propor- tions. Generosity and patriotism is the underlying motive of all these gifts, as is attested by the comments which frequently accompany them. "I am a widow and have no child- ren," writes a 'woman of Belle Anse, i P.Q. "As I cannot knit I would like to; help in the only way possible ford me to do so," The letter was ac.1 companied by a $25.00 cheque. Contributions come from persons of varidus races and creeds. Recent- ly, for instance, the colored, members of the Highland African Methodist Episcopal Church of Amherst, N.S., sent in a modest sum with a desire' to express their"loyalty to our King and country." The most recent list issued .was closed by a donation of $12,500 to lie ,Used lot time comstruotion of an army hut.* The contributor wishes to re- main anonyteoue. NAZI FAIRPLAY IN OCCUPIED POLAND Nazi methods in Poland illustrate German obsession with racial super iority. The Ostdeutscher BeeBachter publishes an advertisement in which the Education Department of the city of Poznarn, iu the former "Polisih Corridor", asks for "school-hoipery suitable to teach Polish children .. It goes without saying that only Ger- mans need apply." BANDS FOR CANADIAN' AIR FORCE The Royal Canadian Air Force wilt.' have shortly a number of bands- throughout Canada to lead marching feet of R.O.A.F, recruits. The central. band in Ottawa will provide a train-• ing school for all bands to come. It has already deserved high praise. WAR EXPANSION IN CANADIAN INDUSTRY The erection or enlargemeut o . more than 100 industrial plants in. Canada under the government's in-• dustrial development program now involves expenditures totalling some $180,000,000, These will help provide for Canada's growing war needs. w ARMY NEEDS KEEP PLANTS: BUSY.
