The members of the Mission Circle oil the Baptist church Met at the _home of Mrs. J. K.

LADIES' CHAMPION WON, Mr. John Ransford, that redoubt- able knight-errant, who for several years past has championed the cause Of the women of his Church and con- tested at the yearly meetings of the Synod of Huron that they should be admitted to the vestries on an equal footing with men, has received the just reward of his labors. At the last session of the Synod of Huron, at London, on Thursday an almost unanimous .vote was passed admitting women to.., the vestries. There was some opposition as preju- dice dies hard, but nevertheless the vote had an overwhelming majority. As yet women are not eligible for the office of churchwarden, but as that has to do principally with col- lecting out monies, what lotting and pay women would want it 7 Mr. Ransford first introduced the subject to the Synod in 1912, when the Bishop appointed a committee to enquire into the matter and report from' time to time. As a consequence a vote was taken in 1913, forty-one clergymen voting yea, thirty nay, and twenty laymen voting 1ea, sev- enteen voting may. In 101si the matter was again brought up and a vote taken, this time seventy-three of the clergy vot- ing yea and forty-six nay, fifty-five laymen voting yea and thirty-seven nay. A two third majority of -each order being necessary it will be seen that the motion was lost by but a small majority, Its sponsor caused some amusement in the Synod by remark - big on this occasion that "If - four clergymen and a fraction of a clergy- man had voted yea and six laymen and a fraction • of a layman had voted as they ought, the motion would have carried," In. 1.915 and 1916, owing to the tear, the matter 'was left in abey- ance, This year, however, there be- ing no signs of animmediate settle- ment of the war, Mr. Ransford again brought the shatter up and the vote Stood, among the. clergy, seventy- two yeas, nine nays, ilio laymen, 36 pias, nine nays. In .1012+, when Mr, Ransford •Orsi introduced the subject, there wore in Canada only six Dioceses which ad- mitted women to the -vestries. So rapidly has the moveiuent spread, however, that now there aro, in- eluding Huron Diocese, sixteen where women are admitted and only four lagging) behind in the onward march. t•f d rietrt One of Mr, Rai s of s tlpp0 s charged that ho, (Mr, Ransford) had been licset by a lot 'of clamor- ous females who wanted to vote, Mit Muster(' assured the b t . Mr, It an s Synod that during \ the past three years that he had bean Work- ing with the end in view of having women admitted to the vestries • he had never had one wontarc, cid or • otmg, single, martied or widowed,wed, a ln,oach him either personally or by letter on the subject, .130 had taken up the )natter entirely.
