LADIES HEAR FINE ADDRESS
Members of Wesley -Willis W. M.
S. looked forward with a great deal
of pleasant anticipation to the corn-
ing of Miss Mitchell, Field Secre-
tary of the W.M.S. of the United
Church of 'Canada, to Clinton, last
week to address the Easter Thank -
offering and the expectations of those
present were more than gratified.
The audience was not as large as
hoped for, even though quite a num-
ber from Ontario street ie
n teet Soc ty ,had
accepted the invitation to be present.
Miss Mitchell held them in rapt and
interested attention for over an hour
while she related tales about the
scenes she had witnessed in her tra-
vels arcoss Canada, carrying on her
services of good works. She told how
fc`ely those pioneers both in East
and West, would, under her guidance,
organize and then carry on W.M.S.
societies, even though their numbers
were few and their money scarce,
and how these meetings proved a
bright spot in their lives. She told
also of the kindness of these people
one to another in times of privation
and .suffring, of the great work of the
Deaconesses and W.M.S. nurses ,and,
of the trials and faithfulness of these
latter in travelling miles, under ad-
verse conditions to dothe work of
ministering to suffering bodies, as
well as souls, when no doctor was.
within reach. She said that from
the earliest days of the Pilgrim
Father's the snotto seems to have
been "Our Land for Christ"
She reminded her bearers that we
recognize not many of our (blessings
until we lose them or see others
worse . off and asked if the members
of the W.M.S. did' not find their re-
ward for service in the joy that,
through this work, was brought to
many.
This was not Miss Mitchell's .first
visit to Clinton . as she has been in
the work some nineteen years and
has addressed meetings in , Clinton
at least twiqe before, and all who
have heard her, will be pleased to
have her come. again.
The president, Mrs. Pickard, took.
charge ,of the meeting, which was
held in the auditorium of thechurch,
and carried through a thoroughly de-
votional and helpful ,program.'
Three hymns were sung and Mrs.
Hearn and Mrs. Paterson very kindly
contributed a duet, "I've a Saviour
Kind and Tender," Mrs. Cosens, Mrs.
Fowler and Miss Mitchell offered
prayers, while Mrs. G. Cuningthame
gave a most helpful Bible lesson,
choosing . Christ's Missionary Mes-
sage to His :Followers to spread the
Gospel to all Nations,
Miss • Mitchell 'took the six .o'clock
bus to Goderich to hold another
meeting.
THE IIOME PAPER:
TO MEET FRIDAY EVENING
A meeting of the Board of Trade
is called by the president, Col. H. .B.
Combe; for eight o'cloek, Friday ev-
ening, in the ,council chamber, and
Charman W. H. Hellyar of the .Bus
YBusi-
ness Men's Assoication would like
the members of that •organization to
meet at the same time and place.
It is hoped :there will be a full at.
tendance and that the organizations
will function fully during the coming
Season.
HOSPITAL BENEFIT CONCERT
The hospital benefit concert on
Monday evening brought out a fairly
good attendance, a although not
quite
so large as the hall would •accommo-
date, but it was an appreciative one
and the program presented was of
a high order.
Col. H. B. Conte occupied the
chair and the following artists pro-
vided the charming and varied pro-
gram, each church being supposed to
contribute a couple of numbers:
A mixed quartette from Ontario
street 'church, consisting of Misses
Marion Gibbings and Elva. Wiltse and
Dr. Thompson and Mr. L. Pearson,
contributed a much 'appreciated num-
ber; solos were contributed by Mrs.
(Rev. Dr,) Dougan, Miss Dorothy
Linton of Toronto and Dr. Smiley of
1- ensall, the latter two appearing
twice and contributing two songs
each time and the former graciously
responding to an encore; Mr. Morgan
Agnew played a cornet solo; Misses
Betty and Ena M'cEevan danced the
Highland Fling; Clifford Kelly
danced to mouthorgan music played
by Louis Phelan, both of Blyth; and
Mrs. Wendorf and Miss Elva Wiltse
played a piano duet. It was a musi-
cal program to suit all tastes and
every number was well received.
About the middle of the program
Dr. Shaw was called upon and gave
a little history of the hospital, its
achievements and its needs. He told
of the need of an elevator, which
could net be installed on account of
lack of room, and also of having to
turn patients away because'of over-
crowding, and of the board's desire
to build a new wing. This could not
be done, he said, unless some more
money was available and he appealed
for contributions. Bricks are being
sold, from twenty-five cents up, the
proceeds to be added to the building
fund, and anyone can invest. So fat
the tenders for building are consider.
ed too high. It may be that they
will again be advertised for.
