A delicious dinner was served in the basement of the church by the Seaforth ladies, The afternoon session opened with hymn, "Breathe on Me, Breath of God", and worship service conduct- ed by Mrs. G. Menzies, Ethel, and Mrs. F. Toll, Auburn, The main fea- ture of the afternoon was the special speaker, -Miss Dorothy Young, Home Organization Executive Secretary, Toronto. Miss Young was introduced , by Mrs. \\r, J, Moores, Conference I Branch President, who also brought greetings to Huron Presbyterial from London Conference Branch. Miss Young took as the theme for her address "The Christian Mission". She said she might have called it "The Christian Hope" as we shall be hearing those words many times when the World Council of Churches meets in Evanston, Illinois, next summer. Our meaning of the word "mission" lies a great deal to do with the fact that God has committed un- to us a duty to our fellowman which He expects us to fulfill. If we are to have missions ,we must have mis- sionaries, Missions are dependent upon our ability to' share and they require unity. In order to have missionaries we must have people who are willing to give full time service to the church, and we must take a personal respon- sibility in the training, of such mis- sionaries. It is a long term project begun with the young child and car- ried on through to teenagers. There are many books and materials such as filets et our fingertips which can be used to educate our children. If this pagan world is to be won, the battle must be fought by eaeh individual Christian at the point where she finds herself in the church Universal. We have to prove by our behav- iour what we mean by sharing, Some feel it is our obligation to share in order to relieve the situation, We have been sharing through the relief parcels and our current Lenten pro- ject of "Feed the Hungry". We must give everything we can through every channel open to us, but the way we give is what matters most. We must truly share so that other people can help themselves. We can share the love of God expressed through another person. The Christian Mission- requires unity. Unity is hard to find within our own lives and hard to maintain within an auxiliary or a congrega- tion. The 'Christian Church is divided into so many denominations and there is so much overlapping of work that it is hard for an outsider to choose. There is a need for unity —a sense of a common spirit of un- ity and understanding and readiness to work together. Most women value the practical experience of meeting together with women of o th e r churches. Nearly all churches will be studying India this coming year and Miss Young suggested that we try to have at least one meeting with groups from other churches in our own community. Let us work togeth- er in a spirit of unity remembering the One who said "Go ye, for I ate with you always, even to the end of the world". A very impressive Memorial Ser- vice was conducted by Mrs. Rev. Ro- gers, Hensall, when tribute was paid to those members who had departed this world during the past year. A period of discussion followed when Mrs, W. J. Moores and Miss Young attempted to answer ques- tions taken from the "Question Box", Mrs, Durst from Egmondville con- tributed a solo after which Miss Young installed the officers for the coming year. Mrs, Rev. Washington brought the good wishes of the Pres- bytery Woman's Association to the Presbyterial Woman's Missionary Society, After the singing of a hymn "Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life", Mrs. H. Kirkby, Walton, re- ported that the Training School Campaign Fund was not yet all com- pleted but as the time had been ex- tended to June, she expressed confi- denee that the women of Huron would fulfill their obligations, The afternoon offering was received and dedicated by Miss Lawrence, Sea - forth, Resolutions, presented by Mrs, Burrell, Wingham, and dealing with the following subjects were accept- ed. 1. Inhuman treatment of child ren, 8. The use of alcoholic bever- d n d 0 al y y it e d d n e r s HOSPITAL BOARD HAS REPORTS FOR YEAR The annual meeting of the board of Scott I1'Ienmorial Hospital was held at the nurses' residence on Friday evening.
