MdBrien, M.P.P. and Sant Wright, M,P,P., the two Park dale stalwarts, represented the Ontar- io Legislature, and they did it well. Miss Lily Paterson lined up the Wingliant contingent, and they came in multitudes. Geo, E. Ferguson, 'Walton Old Boy and now of Swifts' Limited, was the official "caller off" and whenever he called `swing your partner," his voice could he :heard all over the hall. This was his first attempt since he left the good old county; but he did it to the King's taste. The old square dances are coining gin and aga-coining with a conntg a rush. Good bye, Jazz Stance, you will not be missed and you will soon be, forgotten. President King.. distributed the var- ious prizes in the card games to, the successful. coin.petitors.

G. I. T. Groups and Mission Bands, convened on Tuesday, October 23rd, with Mrs.. Gibson 'White, Wroxeter, presiding. The doxology Was sung and an invocation offered.— t. The hymn, "Ali Hail theiPower of Jesus' Name," was sung, and the de- votional exercises were led by th ladies of the Gorrie Auxiliary. Mrs. Chandler gave a cordial wel conte which was ablyresponded to b Mrs. Charles Gillespie, Whitechurch. The minutes and treasurer's reports were read and adopted. ' Of the fifteen Auxiliariesi in this section, thirteen responded yo the roll call with splendid. reports. One Aux- iliary had reached its alloca'on, an :each and everyAuxiliary s hope Y P ful and expressed earnest endeavor. The conference much appreciated and will long remember the solo rendered so beautifully by Mrs. A. W. Barker, :Brussels., There. is regret there are not more C.G.I.T. Groups, more Mission Cir- c:es and Bands, but the interest is. keen and several groups will he or- ganized in the near future. The reports of, the young women were full of enthusiasm and anxious to aid in the work. Some Bands have heralds reports from each of the mission fields. One Band has chil- dren walk three miles to their meet- ing. In this Band they use Hurl- burt's Story of the Bible and each chapter as read is illustrated on a moulding board- They do not have plasticine, but saw dust and tooth- picks. The children are always anxious to be present. Why we should have Baby "Bands was answered very ably by Mrs, Bol- Iing'brook, Wroxeter, It is not in the experimental stage; for some thirty- seven years ago it was triedand within the first two years there were 12,000 children members, and within the next two years there were nearly 60,000 children enrolled. What the great need is is to have a Secretary in each Auxiliary who will see that the babies are registered. = ,Miss Thornton, Bluevale, sang very beautifully, "There Were Ninety and Nine," The question of finance was handled very instructively by Mrs. J. E. Hogg, Clinton. "It seems a lot for women to raise," speaking of the $+1,000,000 asked from tho Women's Missionary Society, "but," she continued, "the need of women is so great." We have a lot of women in our churches who are not members of our W M,S. That is where our weakness lies. HOW are we to get these women . interested ? \Ve feel they do not know. The ladies of'Fordwich served a fine dinner, which was much enjoyed. The afternoon session opened at two • clock with the ladies o f Salem o Auxiliary giving the Bible reading and having charee of the devotional exer- cises, Mrs, .Gardiner, in her own in- estimable way, presented her report, and Mrs. McKenzie, of Egmondville, gave at encouraging ace unt of Sys- tematic s- tematic Giving and Finance, while Miss Lawrence recognized keen in- terest of the women to4advertise and boost the work of the W.M,iS. The playlet, "Neto Eyes for Old," was acted -by the ladies of the Wing - ham Auxiliary. It was a great ob- ject lesson,. Mrs, Willis, the Missionary Month- ly Secretary, gave a wonderful ad- dress and wished that more would read and digest the good reading of the monthly. It will be long remembered, the pia tore of the great and dire need among our women end ch ildren of not only Ontario, but of otir Canada, as told by 'Miss Effie Tamiesoti, Toronto, Mrs, Gibson gave the closing words and with the singing of 'a hymn, Mrs. Sco'bie, of Belgrave, closed the con- ference with prayer., e y d MRS, WILLIAM MURRAY.
