'1 HURON PRESBYTERIAL HOLD AUTUMN rivci, MEETING Tile annual rally of Huron Pres- byterial of the Women's Missionary Society of the Presbyterian Church in Canada was held in Carmel Pres- byterian Church, Hensall, on Tuesday. The church was prettily decorated and to the ladies of the church much appreciation was expressed for the delightful lunch they served. The Belgrave• Soclet3r conducted the devotional exercises •of the morning session, after which Mrs. Young of Hensel' extended a very cordial welcome which was followed by a well rendered welcome song from members of the Sunshine Mis- sion Band. • President Speaks Miss Jeckell of Exeter, president, opened her splendid address by say- ing she was taking advantage of be- ing able to express herself to repre- sentatives from every society in the Presbyterial which opportunity came to her but once a year. She said the reaching of the allocation last year should be an inipetus to stress for- ward to greater achievements this year. She wanted to see improve- ments in the sending in of reports. She emphasized the fact that it was a difficult task for Presbyterial Sec- retaries to bring attractive reports to the rallies and annual meetings if they secretaries of the departments of the work in the various organizations, sent in bare tabulated forms without the accompaniment of an account of the work which the figures represent- ed. Miss Jeckell pointed out to the presidents that there is no excuse for uninteresting meetings, as • a Missionary Society has a larger scope from which to draw material than any other' organization, for its field is world-wide. She lilted treasurers in giving their monthly statement to compare their standing with that of last year, and to check up if behind, not wait -until the annual meeting to case a crate of eggs which was kept reach the allocation. "Aim at 100 in the chicken house had also been per cent. in every phase of the work," removed. she said. "Life is a big bundle of little things. Strive to do the small- est task perfectly and your W.M.S. will increase and expand. Let others feel the power of God within you. Christ has been transforming • lives for 2,000 years. A Christian reflects the spirit of Christ in his face. Let us look into the face of Jesus and be like IIim." Secretaries Give Reports •The Secretary, Mrs. Young, read a very interesting and accurate ac- count of the January meeting in Clinton and the executive June meet- ing in • Bayfield. Mrs. T. Swan Smith, Treasurer, gave an encourag- ing report of the finances to date and an earnest appeal to each one to give as liberally as she can so that we may reach the allocation this year. Mrs. Dunlop, Key Woman, urged every key up in the seventy years of the life of the W. M. S. in Canada. That she succeeded in getting the vision of the gatheting in Montreal across to the minds of Huron Presbyterial was manifested in the attentive and re- sponsive faces of her listeners. INIrs. Eaton has the gift of a true speaker; she put her picture before her aud- ience, herself in the background. The 70th anniversary is the out- come of a dream in 1864 of a United Canada, loyalty to God; a dream of the whole world for Christ. Thou- sands of women have that vision; some day it will come true, said Mrs. Eaton. There was an atmosphere of remembrance, in the church built round the "old church," there was a birthday cake out by a charter mem- ber who had a vision. Woman's ef- fort comes from a realization of what Christ has done for woman. lt, is said, God does not need us, but has chosen us to carry out His plan. A very inspiring part of the pro- gram was a session of prayer, the topic having been arranged by Mrs. Dougan and Mrs. MacDonald of Clin- ton, and beautifully interpreted by of Hayfield, and Mrs. Barnet of Gode- rich.11.1s'Gordon. af Exeter; Mrs. Houston The day ended with a prayer by Mrs. Merton A. Reid in which she summarized the blessings derived from the meeting, in a beautiful tri- bute of thanks to God and a further confirmation of the • truth of His promises. ' GODERICH TOWNSHIP -Sneak thieves have made their ap- pearance in Goderich Township. Two families, after spending the evening in Goderich, returned home to find their cellars completely cleaned of fruit, vegetables and baking.

The opening ode was sung and the Lord's prayer repeated in unison, Minutes of the previous meeting and several letters were read by the secretary, Mrs. Brunsdon. A note from the Clinton branch was read inviting this branch to meet with them. on October 25th, which was ac- cented with pleasure. After all it- ems of business had been settled the meeting was left in charge of the grandmothers, it being Grandmoth- er's Day. When the curtain was raised fourteen grandmothers were. seated in a semi -circle, look- ing quite quaint with white caps and collars. They opened the program by singing "We're the Happy Grand- mas." This was followed by a read- ing by Mrs. -jr, Brunsdon "The Old. Spinning Wheel," was then sung and Miss L. Ranson. gave a cornet solo; a, reading was given by Mrs, Wm. Lyon, then another cornet solo, fol- lowed by an Institute hymn. The curtain was then dropped. The play, "How the Story Grew)," Was then pre- sented by eight of the grandmothers, which was apparently enjoyed by the peals of laughter that were heard. The play was in five scenes and show- ed plainly how stories grow. This brought this most interesting after- noon to a close arid all joined in sing- ing the National Anthem. Delicious refreshments were served by the group in 'charge and a social time spent over the tea cups. • The Y. P. S. met in the basement of the church, Grant Snell presiding. After singing a 'hymn the Lord's Prayer was repeated in unision, lowed by another hymn, after which Rev. A. W. Gardiner led in prayer.

During the taking of the offering Frazer Thompson played a violin solo "My Shepherd." Rev. A. W. Gardiner gave an inspiring talk on "Judges?' The meeting was brought to a close by the singing of a hymn and:the Miz- pah Benediction. 13LYTH: Complimenting Miss Violet Parker, bride -elect of .this week, a delightful evening was spent at her home on Monday, when the ladies of the third line presented her with a miscellaneous shower.

HYDRO DEMAND FOR 'A DEPOSIT NOT POPULAR To The Editor of The Clinton News - Record: I wonder how many of the citizens of Clinton are aware of what is tak- ing place in their midst. I refer to the holdup by the Hydro Commis-, sioners in making all renters who have come here since this law was in - posed, pay a deposit of 0.00 or 810,00 if they have an electric stove, the first time they pay their bill and they don't know why. I've lived in a num- ber of places and this is my first holdup, and those men, I would say, are very poor citizens, not only put- ting burdens on those that can ill af- ford it but depriving the town of all this money that would buy coal or other needful articles, with cold weather coming on. They should re- member they have a business and that many others will also remember. I sure will not forget. If this is a legitimate iaw why was it not made public? You would have fewer vic- tims and more empty houses. Are the citizens going to stand for this? It's high time the iron heel • was lifted. -A VICTIM, GODERICH: Hale and hearty surrounded by her children, nearly all of whom are themselves grandfathers or grandmothers, Mrs. Jane Lynn, Anglesea 'Street, on Tuesday observed the 94th anniversary of her birth. Born in Onondaga, Brant County, Mrs. Lynn's parents • were the first white settlers in that territory. The aged lady is still smart on her feet, is a good conversationalist, a keen observer and frequently walks up town to shop. She baked her own birthday cake. • Children here for the birthday party at her home were: Dennis Lynn, of Gonzales, Calif., 1VIrs, J. Nairn (Ruth), of Danbury, Iowa; Mrs. J. B. Faust, (Margaret), and Patrick Lynn, of Detroit; Andrew Lynn, of Colborne Township and Ed- ward, of Goderich; also 21 grandchil-' dren and 12 great grandchildren.
