BRUCEFIELD
1 'FOREIGN 11115SION
. • AUXILIARY
• The following sketch of the Bruce:
Meld Auxiliary was prepared by Mrs.
„James McQueen, the only Charter
/member living, and was presented at
' ,the Jubilee meeting in November:
"Sixty years ago Cur Woman's
:Foreign Mission Auxiliary Society
was organized by the late Professor
aMpLaren of Toronto, it's missionary
motto being "The World for Christ."
At first the Auxiliary was organ-
ized for the purpose of raising funds
.to send female missionaries to ',Cen-
^trarIndia, to enter the home of the
-native women and tell them of the
,rtSaviour who had died for them,. as
.male missionaries were not allowed
:Ifto enter these homes.
My mother, Mrs. Robt. Landsbor-
01.101, was the first President of our
.Auxiliary, Mrs. John Ketchen, the
• mother of Dr. Beverly Ketchen, of
Hamilton, was Secretary, and Mrs,
. John Lout, the treasurer.
Our home was over 4 miles from
!Brucefield, where the Auxiliary meet-
ing was held. We had no driver, so
drove the team in the democrat
,and had plenty of room for passen-
• gers. Although we tried to get new
-members, we failed for a number of
-yeare.;'.y
tilOur members who attended the
Auxiliary meetings regularly found
°them interesting and profitable and a'
• great incentive to their prayer life.
• As we studied the needs of our poor
• heathen sisters we got an interest
• afd sympathy for them that we could
,not have, had in any other. way. A
•-anissionary from India said that every
Aollar we give to foreign missions is
'ttreaaare laid up for us in }IsaYen•
Then too our Presbyterial meeting
was the event of the year. We not
only got encouragement' and inspira-
tion for our work, but formed new ac-
uyaintances among the best women
of our land. Someone has said that
in our Bible there is four times as
much said about giving as there is
about praYing. If we pray earnestly
for the extension of Christ's Kingdom
we will find it a delightful privilege
to give.
Christ gave until He could give no
more. He gave Himself a ransom
for us.
Sixty years ago there were no type-
writing machines so the letters were
sent from the Foreign field to the
Presbyterials where they were copied
and sent to the Auxiliaries.
Little did my clear sainted mother
realize the good influence she was
creating on her own family as well as
lathers, when she consented to. be the
first President of the Auxiliary. In
later years her six daughters and
five granddaughters were all mem-
bers of Auxiliaries, and her two great
granddaughters, life members of the
Mission Band. Someone has said,
"The path of a good woman is strewn
• with flowers, but they bloom behind
her steps, and not before."
I Would like now to make a plea
for more members for our Auxiliary
as we have sustained so many losses
recently and there are now so many
vacant chairs. At my time of life
I can not expect to be able to attend
the meetings for very much longer.
In looking back over the =1st years
I am so thankful that I have had the
privilege of being a „Member of the
Woman's Missionary Society. I have
found that while striving to, bless
others, I have myself been blest.

Seriously Injured In Fall
Tho condition of Norman Shepherd
of Hallett Township, who has re-
mained unconscious following a fall
downstairs early on Monday, Novem-
ber 29th, is somewhat improved, but
he is still in a critical condition and
has not recovered sufficiently for an
X-ray to be taken to determine the
extent of his injuries. A fracture
of the skull is feared, but until he
recovers consciousness he cannot be
moved from his home.
Following his ulual custom he had
risen early and was about t9 to go
downstairs, when either tripping or
taking a false step, he fell from the
top of the stairway to the bottom.
While relatives and friends anxiously
await his return to consciousness,
they are glad to know that lie is
somewhat improved.
Mr. Shepherd is a son of Mr. Wil-
liam Shepherd, Clinton, and a brother
of Mac. Eddie Farouhar, Hullett.

The Dominion Government has of-
fered a grant of $50,000 to each pro-
vince, who is in turn, to give an ad-
ditional grant of the same amount.
These grants are to be used in pro-
moting courses that will enable the
young unemployed girls of the Rural
communities to help themselves to
part-time employMent with remunera,
tion, while still living at home. The
age-lbnit is from 18 to 30 years.
There are four courses to be given
throughout the province. It is ne-
cessary to have from ten to, twenty
girls sign up for one course, before
the course' can be held in a county,
The four courses are, catering for
Tourists, Marketing of Home Baked
Foods, Simple Dressmaking, and re-
modelling and Rug -making.
In Huron County about fifteen
girls have signed up for Rug -making.
No official statement has been re-
ceived about the holding of the
course, but it is suggested that it
might be held in Dungannon. It will
be a three weeks' course: Any girls
in the county, who sign up for the
course and are some distance from
Dungannon may .receive help in con-
nection with board during the term
of the course,.
