Presbyterian W.M.S.
Met At Exeter
The annual fall rally of Huron
Presbyterial Women's Missionary
Society of the Presbyterian Church
in Canada was held in Caven Presby-
terian Church, Exeter, on Tuesday,
September 14th, with morning and
afternoon sessions. There was an
excellent attendance of delegates
from Auburn, Blyth, Clinton, Exeter,
Goderich,- Hensall and Seaforth, and
Mrs. Gordon. Bisset, of Goderich,
Presbyterial president, expressed her.
pleasure in seeing so. many of the
members present.
The Scripture lesson was read by
Mrs. A. H. Erskine, Goderich, and
prayers were offered by Mrs. J. Par-
kins, Seaforth; Mrs. G. Roberton,'
Clinton, and Mrs. A. D. MacEwen,
Hensall.
The president gave a splendid
message of inspiration, emphasizing
the theme of the rally, "In the be -
JUST igtintwitim WITH ACTIVITY
for men with some time to spare...
It's a centre of activity—your local armoury, just hum-
mingwithactivityformenwithafeweveningstospare.
In the wide list of activities offered by the Canadian Army
Reserve Force, you'll find things to turn those odd free evenings
into interesting and even exciting ones. You11 enjoy the full
programme of social and sports events. You'll be "one of the
gang"—with other Reserve Force men who are finding that
the armoury is their personal "clubhouse".
All the latest equipment and weapons are now being used
for Reserve Force training. The summer camp sessions give you
the opportunity to get away and out into the open. To top it
all, you will receive full Active Force pay for all time spent in
training and camp.
"SEE FOR YOURSELF" by vi.siting your local Reserve
Force unit's open house,
parades or demonstrations
during Army Week, 20-26
September.
Call at the armoury of
we regiment of your choice,
ginning, God." "The question was
asked, 'What is the most important
thing in our lives today?' To some
it may be fame, or pleasure, or
wealth, :or good housekeeping. All
these things are good in their place,
but Jesus said, 'Seek ye first the
Kingdom of God.' We have all kinds
of appliances today, to save time and
labor, but what are we doing with
the time we save? Are we so bilsy
doing things that don't really mat-
ter that we have no time for the
work that God is waiting for us to
do? Are parents taking time to
teach their children to love God and
to serve Him? Are we'helping in the
work of the Sunday schdol, the Mis-:
sion Band, the young people, or vis-
iting the sick and shut-ins, There is
something that each one of us can
do if we rely on God for help, and
what an impetus would be given to
the work of every church if we
would always put God's work first!'
Mrs. W. Sillery of Exeter web
comed the visitors, and the report
of the treasurer, Mrs. J. Russell of
Seaforth, was given showing an ad-
vance in givings over last year.
•A letter was read from Miss Una
Macdonald and Miss Dorothy Ray
nard of Goderich who were the -dele-
gates sent by the Presbyterial to the
week -end camp for young women
held recently at Kintail. An interest-
ing summary of camp activities was
given and the girls expressed their
thanks to the Presbyterial.
A number of suggestions were of-
fered by the departmental secretar-
ies. The Mission Band secretary,
Mrs. J. F. Scott of Seaforth, asked
for increased interest in this work,
and suggested that the children
would love to have a "white eleph-
ant" table at a sale or tea, and each
one would be able to bring some-
thing. The Mission Band rally will
be held on October 2nd in Hensall.
The literature secretary, Miss B.
Campbell, of Seaforth, gave a list
of books available, and asked that a
literature secretary be appointed in
each auxiliary, that the sale of the
church calendars be encouraged,
that more magazines be sent to the
Frontier College, and suggested that
a synopsis of the various books on
sane might be prepared and passed
on to other auxiliaries.
Mrs. G. Walker, Hensall, life
membership secretary, asked that
the members keep up the' interest
shown last year in this department.
Mrs. C. Hudson of Hensall, wel-
come and welfare secretary, asked
that each secretary answer all ques-
tions on the annual report form,
and send the name of the new sec-
retary if there was a change of of-
ficers.
The press secretary, Mrs. A. Tay-
lor of Goderich, asked that members
be prepared to nominate a new press
secretary at the annual meeting,
and as recording and corresponding
secretary asked that all reports be
sent in promptly at the end of the
year; otherlise it makes too much
confusion at the annual meeting.
A number of good ideas were con-
tributed by the various auxiliaries.
Some find it helpful to meet in the
homes, one member responsible for
the music, one to bring hymn books,
others to help the hostess and take
part in the program.
One auxiliary had a special pro-
gram provided by the evening aux-
iliary and the Mission Band. Anoth-
er had group leaders who did splen-
did work, and messages were sent
to those unable to come.
Other activities were the sale of
calendars by the auxiliary with the
profit going to the Mission Band; a
talent table at each meeting, and a
number of extra copies of "Glad.
Tidings" placed in the homes, which
brought new subscribers to the ma-
gazine.
There was a discussion on Mis-
sion Band work, and a plea was
made for the churches to do some-
thing for the boys. The W.M.S.
have shown their interest in the

Afternoon Session
At the close of the morning ses-
sion a delightful 'lunch was served
by the Exeter ladies, and the after-
noon session was opened at 2 p.m.
with prayer by the president. The
devotional period was in charge of
the Blyth auxiliary. The Scripture
lesson was read by Mrs. A. Hosford.
and prayer wasoffered by Miss A.
M. Toll: A beautiful solo was sung.
by Mrs. D. Simpson of Exeter, and
this was followed by a splendid ad-
dress by Mrs: C. H. McDougall of
Strathroy.
The speaker brought •greetings
from the Synodical Society of Ham-
ilton and London (which will hold
its annual meeting in Knox church,
Goderich, next year), and her topic
was "Missionary Work in Your Own
Congregation." She spoke of condi-
tions in Canada at the present time,
of the thousands who have no
church connections, of the children
who never attend Sunday school,
and asked "What are we doing about
it?" "Our faith came to us from
afar. Are we passing it en or are
we too busy with material things?
When the disciples Were given the
Divine commission they were to be-
gin at Jerusalem, their own home.
Most of us are unable to go to the
foreign field, but there is a great
deal that we can do in our own
church.
"When missionaries come, ask
them to speak to your young people
and the children. Who knows the
blessing that may come from the
seed that is sown in this way? Years
ago the first-born was always dedi-
cated to God. How far we have got
away from that idea in these •days!
There is a shortage of ministers, of
Sunday school teachers, and those
who are willing to give their time
and energy to the Lord's work. Mo-
thers have always a great influence.
in shaping the characters of their
children. Have we been doing our
part, or leaving it -to someone else?
Are we encouraging missionary edu-
cation in the Sunday school; is there
a missionary education committee
in your church where representa-
tives can meet with the minister and
plan a program of helpfulness?
"All these things take time, but
there is a joy in the service of God
that we can find in no other way.
There are open doors everywhere,
and God will give us the strength
for the work Re is waiting for us
to do."
The speaker closed with the
words, "If ye know these things,
happy are ye if ye do them."
Mrs. D. J. Lane thanked the
speaker for her excellent address.
The offering was received and de-
dicated by Mrs. H. Rivers of Gode-
rich.
"The Mission Barrel"
A short play was presented by
the Barbara Kirkman Auxiliary, Sea -
forth, entitled, "The Mission Bar-
ret" The play visualized the theme
of the rally,. that social activities
and money -making plans should not
take first place in the work of the
organization but that love for God
and desire to help others must
come first. Each member of the east
gave a fine performance, and their
presentation was enjoyed by all.
Mrs. D. J. Lane of Clinton paid
tribute to the memory of Miss Laura
Jeckell, a faithful member of Exeter
Auxiliary, and a past president of
the Presbyterial, and announced that
a bequest of $500 had^been received
from her estate which will go to the
work of the W.M.S. in Jhansi, India.
Mrs. C. Hudson of Hensall
brought in the report of the courtesy
committee expressing the thanks of
the members to the officials of Cav-
en church, to the Exeter ladies for
then hospitaliy, to the soloist, to the
guest speaker, and to all who took
part in the meeting.
A fine reading was given by Mrs.
E. Mitchell of Exeter. The hymn
"All the Way My Saviour Leads
Me" was sung, and the meeting
closed with prayer by Mrs. W. T.
Robison of Auburn. '

Joe Dimaggio Joins the
"300 -Homer" Club.
Joe Dimaggio, siege -gun centre
fielder of New York Yankees, may
not be able to slug the Yanks home
in front of the raging Boston Red
Sox but the Yankee clipper already
has cemented a noteable personal
achievment for his 1948 efforts.
Joltin' Joe, belting the ball at a
long-range clip second only to his
banner sophomore season in 1937,
Friday celebrated his entry into the
exclusive "800 -homer" club, an elite
group of present and former slug-
ging stars who belted 300 home runs
in the major leagues.
Dimaggio rifled his 36th homer of
the current season Thursday as the
Yanks were dividing a twin bill with
Detroit Tigers. It was his 300th home
run in 10 years with the Yanks.
The blow off Freddie Hutchinson,
didn't prevent the Yankees from los-
ing the opener 2-1, but it propelled
Joe into some mighty select company.
In baseballs long history only 8
players have belted 300 homers be-
fore hanging up their spikes,
Kingpin of them all, of course
was Babe Ruth, who slammed 714
in his 22 years in the big time.
Others are Jimmy Fox (527 in 19
yrs.), Mel Ott' (511 in 21 yrs.),Lou
Gehrig 0494 in 17 yrs.), plus ank
Greenberg 081), Rogers Hornsby
(302), Church Klein (300) and Di-
maggio (800).
With the current Yankee Bomber
on his hottest homer rampage since
he led the league in 1937 with 46
circuit smashes, Dimaggio is virtual-
ly certain to'climb ahead of Hornsby
and Klein into sixth place among the
all -tine greats by the time the season
finishes.
