Probably the most important aspect of building a new home is financing it. Under the regulations of the National Housing Act we are permitted to make loans for the purpose of constructing a house. If you're intending to build, or wonder- ing if you can afford it, drop in and talk it over with the manager of your Toronto -Dominion Bank. He'll discuss the N.H.A. regulations and explain them to you. No matter which of the 450 Toronto Dominion branches you go to, you can be sure they'll be pleased to give you all the information and help possible.

Greer took the roll call and gave the sta- tistical report. An 'appeal was made to auxil- iaries to try to develop the tal- ent within their own groups. While it is advisable to 'have guest speakers at meetings occa- sionally,: it is not wise to have them •too''frequently. The ladies were also asked to make pro- vision 'for missionary training for the young 'women of the con- gregation. The book award given to the auxiliary whose members have read the most missionary books during the year was won by Eth- el Auxiliary and was the book entitled "Mist on the 'River". It was also announced that the study next year will he on Trin- idad. The Christian Citizenship Sec- retary, Mrs. Harold Doig, Ford- wich chose a unique way of pre- senting her story. This was a poster on nwhich was painted a wheel called `!Christian citizen ship'. There were four main spokes in 'bhe ,wheel 'named Tem- perance, cloodanial d World 'Peacelfare e and the spokes in between told what each person could do to promote these dour things. Each spoke came from the hub 'of the wheel which was called "U" (you), thus depilating that all these 'things depend on you. A new office that of (Candi- date Secretary, was established this year and Mrs. W. J. Tiffin appealed to eaoh woman to 'ap- point herself as a candidate sec- retary and to ;be ever on the al- ert for young ;women who anight give full time service to the church as missionaries either at home or abroad.

The :guest missionary who spoke during the afternoon was Miss Grace G. Patterson a mis- sionary recently returned froze India. Miss Patterson, in her charming manner tookus back over some of the history of the growth 'of missions in India. times were not very good In- dian 'people had nothing to give their children so orphanages were established by the mission- aries, 'There were orphanages for the boys and orphanges for the girls. These children grew up .to ;be 'Christians and when it came time for the boys to estatb- dish •bheir own homes thein wives +were chosen from among the 'Clhrilst'ian girls. Thus Christian homes were established. This is .the 'found'ation on which the Church of +Central India is estab- lished. She reviewed •bhe ad- vance that bas been made in ed- ucation in India. .The standards of teachers and pupils have been greatly raised and the Indian people have learned to be inde- pendent. They !have anade a sian- ilar advance in the anedieal field and in evangelistic work. All - though the Indian ;people have shown that they can 'd'e it and are doing it they still need our prayers. She appealed to all to pray specifically for the young dhunclh in India, 'for the mission- aries, for the doctors and nurs- es and for the principals and teachers of the schools. Mrs. !(Rev.) !Davison led the Memorial Service and music was supplied by Miss Wildfong, Ex- eter who sang "I walked with Jesus". Rev. Renner brought greetings from the IPresibytery and a letter was read from Mrs. Nelson Reid, president of Pres- bytery W. A., expressing her re- gret at not .being 'able to attend and extending good wishes for the future of the W.'M,S. work. Rev. C. A. Krug of IBelgrave, the second speaker of bhe after- noon commended the ladies for their enthusiasm and desire but also threw out a great challenge for the future. He expressed` faith in the power of prayer and urged the women to pray con- cretely and specifically.
