Some 250 dele- gates from eight counties in South- western Ontario, met in North Street United Church, Goderioh, on Tues- days Wednesday, May 13, 14, 1930. Miss Rennie, the president; was in the chair. Mrs. Andrew, of Goderich, brought greetings from the W.M,IS. and Goderich to all the women and welcomed them to "our town, the prettiest town in Canada." This spirit of optimism was sounded many times during the conference together. Mrs. Richardson, in her report on Supply and Library Werk, said that it was their aim to gave what they want and when they want it to need-. ed missions or missionaries. ' • She said this investment paid good divi- dends and enumerated suoh Mrs. Malcolm, Egmiondville, gave a -bright report of the Associate Hel- pers' work. In •Mrs. Stirrett's report on Life Membership, stated that this subject be brought before the sectional meet- ings. Huron County is our banner county. In 62 Auxiliaries, they re- ceived S9 fife membership certificates, 33 Mission Band certificates, 3 Circle, and 4 In Memoriam certificates. Middlesex follows with 95 life mem- ber certificates, 16 Mission Band, 21 Baby Band, 3 Circle and .3 In Mem- oriam. Mrs. Lundy, our Strangers' Secre- tary, said she had a little report for a Bug Work. Elgin, Huron and Lamb - ton had a secretary in each auxiliary. Mrs. Leckie, press secretary, advised promptness and brevity. Missionary Monthly Secretary, Mrs. Willis, said there was an in- crease of 223 subscribers. Five Auxil- iaries were taking 100 or more mag- azines. Mrs, Nate], Literature Sec'y., gave an encouraging report. The Baby Band Secy.. Mrs. Work- man, paid tribute to the efficiency and alertness of our Mission Band. secretaries, Noted an increase in membership of 389.. Mrs, Roulston, C,G.I,T. Sec'y con- gratulated the leaders for their untir- ing perseverance. Mrs. Rush, Y.W.- A. !W:A. Sec'y staid three minutes is a long time when a dentist is going to do his wade but a short time in which to give a report. Five Y.W. Auxiliaries were graduated into our W.M.IS. Societies. Mrs. R. Heard, St, Thom- as, the Corr. Secy, said in presenting this report, there is need for a long wide look past figures—to the work and prayer of loyal women who have labored for what is nearest the heart of every W.M.S. woman, Someone has said there are no statistics for the fruits of the spirit --but what a har- vest they yield. The story of the year's work has been Lived out in the throbbing energy and prayerful devotion of every Auxiliary Y.W. Circle, C.G.I.T. Band and B. Band leader of London Branch. There were 26,400 Autttmi. Thank- offering envelopes sent out and 25,000 Easter envelopes. There are three new Auxiliaries, 'We would send out a ringing call, loud enough to each Auxiliary, Y.W. Circle, asking for an increased num- ber of subscribers to our Missionary Monthly and World Friends,, bath of which should be on every living -room table. We rejoice to report two new can- didates, bright, clever, attractive teachers, who recently graduated from our National Training School in Toronto and have just received their eppointntente. Miss Ruth Church- ill of Petrolia, who goes to the Church of All Nations,Mon real; and Miss Annie Ward, ondon, who will take tip work in China. These beautiful .girls are the richest pos- session of the London Branch and we will cherish them throughout the years. Miss Griffith, branch candidate Sec'y, reports that she has a list of 12 possible volunteers. The year has carriedshadows in many hearts and homes, Mrs, Bur- nett, former corr, Sec'y, passed on higher service and our beloved Huron Presby. President, Mrs, Mollard, Huron Presbyterial is the only one to have an increase in life and an- neal mem'bens, while Lanebton, Mid- dlesex and Oxford increased in life member's. Mrs. Lane reported from Huron, spoke of the work carried on by Mrs. Mallard. God calls his work- ers but carries on His work, There is an increase in membership and in- terest, hoping and praying for better work,- Lantbton, Kent, Middlesex and Perth all had year of progress• and success. One regret was the non- development of our young women. During the afternoon, Mrs. Childs, of London, took tis on a trip in a G,CW,M.S. silver winged aeroplane, round the world, starting from the Flying Field, London. All who heard and saw will never forget. The memorial service conducted by Mrs. Gould, Mrs, Archibald and Miss Consitt was resos't impressive. Mrs, Gould said Heaven grows very at- tractive, so many of •ottr beloved are fincling their way thither, ,As we think of the number, 1198, who have gone before during 1939, we think of those two Jules in .Longfellow'.% "The Reaper and the Flowers." He reaps the bearded grain at a breath, and the flowers that grow between." For some the call has conte when the sun of life was setting: to others "her sun has gone down while it was yet noon"—and the flower having out- grown its •earthly vessel has been • transplanted to the heavenly home there to grow and 'develop. At the close of the afternoon session the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper u as administered, At the supper table, greetings were brought from the Presbytery, and from Goderich by Mayor MeEwan, replied to so eloquently by Mrs. Gor- don Wright of London, and Mrs. McIntosh. Mrs. -Dixon, the Treas- urer, presented her report which was in printed form, after which the Pres- ident spoke on the subject, "The Challenge of the W.M.S." Officers for 1930. Hon, Pres,, Mrs. D.

A conference of all Presbyterial of- ficers under the leadership of the branch officers of the different depart- ments proved very interesting and helpful. On Wednesday afternoon new plans for old purposes were dis- cussed, led by Mrs. J. H. Rush. Many new ideas and helpful - suggestions were given. The Mission Bands from Goderich gave very delightful exercises, Rev. Dr. Mortimer of China and Miss Nellie Forman of Regina and Mrs. W. R. Mackay of Toronto gave very inspiring addresses. Again came the close of another Conference of our W.M:S. women, causing us all to feel "That it is good for us to meet together and with, Him'. W.M.S. The regular monthly meeting of the W.M.S. of North Side United Church, was held in the school room of the church on Thursday, May 7, the president, Mrs. Lane, presiding. The attendance was good. The treas- urer read excerpts from a letter by Dr. Service, late of China. In it he vividly portrayed the strenuous life of a consecrated Christian Medical Missionary and earnestly appealed for helpers to assist him in his impossible task, A sum exceeding the amount of our quarterly allocation has been forwarded to the Presbyterial Treas- urer, who heartily congratulated the Auxiliary on its promptness in ful- filling the quarter's obligations. A pleasing feature of the meeting was the presentation of a W.M.S. pin, to Miss J. Robb, as a token of appreci- ation front the members of the Auxil- iary. A special vote of thanks was tendered to Mr. W. Webster for his cheenfuiP erfornnance of the extra work entailed by the Presbyterial meeting on April 30. Mrs, Jas. John- ston end Miss M. Ferguson were ap- pointed as a Mission Band committee. The program was in charge of Circle V., with their captain, Mrs. Chapman,' as leaden After singing Hymn 93, Mrs. Jas. Johnston led in prayer and Mrs, N. Curter read the Scripture lesson from Prov. 3. The devotional leaflet, "His Witnesses," was read by Mrs. E R. Crawford. All who re- ceive Pentecostal blessings are to be His Witnesses. We interpret Jesus by our life and words and should show by our personality that Christ is real. In view of the near approach of our Thankoffering service (on the evening of Sunday, May 18) the key note of the topics introduced was "Thank offerings." Mrs, Jas. Barron defined a Thankoffering as a love gift to God, in recognition of our many blessings received from Him. Miss McIBe'ide gave a most interest- ing number, entiitled, "If I were an African wornian," which pictured the drudgery and monotony and Hope= lessness of the African women who have as yet not heard the Gospel. Mrs. McIntosh read the story of Betty'a thankoffering and Mrs. Jos. Scott told of the gift of $5 in gold, from a poor young Norwegian labor- er in the West, as a Thankoffering for h boyin his home. A the live, healthy solo pleasingly rendered by Miss .Hel- en Gibbon was much apprecisvted. Mrs. Barber told of Carrie Elleworth's missionary gift and' Mrs, ` Finlayson read a .leaflet entitled Mrs. Stanton's Thankoffering, Hymn 448 was sung and the meeting closed with the Mia- pah benediotion. CHATS ON EDUCATION At the Principal's Desk; The scholastic man of science sometimes makes the boast that the real scientist seeks knowledge foe :ts own sake, and is quite above being influenced by any financial advantage to himself or even any particular ben- efit to humanity. But the world at large takes a dif- ferent view• The world at large va- lues knowledge as it valines every- thing else, by the contribution it makes to human welfare: I' knew a barber once Who was a regular encyclopedia of historical knowledge. He was a prodigious reader with a most retentive memory. But he was unable toapplyhis know l.dge, He even lacked the ability to tarn it to any particular advantage by entertaining others. For all his el scis- sors he had to wield d th e s sors and the razor to earn a living— to render a service to other people which theycould appreciate and for which theywould wo d pay. Ait one of our universities some years ago something gave 'away in the mind of a very 'brilliant student. Since then his mind shows sparks now and then of its former brilliance, but it seems to lack purpose or connection. He putters at one thing and another, raises a few vegetables and peddles them, once he tried to make candy and sell it—the candy was hardly inviting. Sometimes he writes poetry -mit has a suggestion of form and rhythm but no sane person can fathom its meaning or purpose. On'hear•ing from a sympathetic friend that some mental and nervous dis- orders -had been relieved by spinal treatments he spent several days on,a most elaborate computation of the amount of backwork involved in the laying of several miles of pavement and cartracks then under con- struction. These examples of purposeless thought and effort, of failure to .direct effort to effective human service. are sufficient evidence to the average person that the poor fellow's mind was out of gear. . Yet, in our .schools, every day we hold pupils to the grind •of mastering subjects without showing the direct relationship of these studies to hu- man happiness, we are attempting to produce such mental wrecks as the one above. In the efforts of educationalists in recent years to train' the mentally below normal, this lesson has been learned at least as it applies to the mentally slow. One observer was interested to discover in conversation with a men- tally defective boy that though the boy could readily figure that if he had eighteen cents and spent eleven he would have seven left, he could net figure the difference between eleven and eighteen years. The boy could do something with ,money, but he could 1101 see or handle years. So we all leant more readily when we are dealing with things we can see and handle, and which contribute to our comfort. In classes in agriculture many a bray readily learns 'laws of physics and chemistry as they directly apply to his own garden that he would find much difficulty in learning as un- related facts of chemistry, and many a girl following a high school course in domestic science finds her chem- istry and physics interesting because it is related to her every day interests of food preparation and home- making. A sense of value is fundamental to good judgment. Good judgment re- quires the saving of the valuable and the discarding of the valueless. ,Conan Doyle represents his brilliant detective hero, Sherlock Holmes, as inquining innocently what was meant by the heliocentric theory of the universe, and when it had been explained, remarking calmly that now that he knew he would forget it again as soon its possible, as it had no bearing whatever on his particular work as a detective. Good judgment leads to the dis- carding of useless knowledge the same as other useless rubbish, to make room for that which is worth retaining, and therefore just to the degree that we educationalists link up every facts to be learned with the real interests of life, showing how it contributes to •human welfare, just to that degree are we making that fact easy to learn, and just to that degree are we aiding in the development of a sound mind and good judgment.
