Synodical meeting held recently al Stratford, and to plan the work of the Presbyterial; Representatives were present from Auburn," Clinton, Goderich, Hensall, Exeter and Seaforth, and the meeting opened with a devotion- al period of meditation and Prayer conducted by the Presbyterial presi- dent, Mrs. G. Bisset. The corresponding secretary, Miss B, Campbell of Seaforth, gave an excellent summary of the synodical meeting. the first of its kind, with 285 delegates attending. -It was stated that there was a wealth ,pf'ntaterial in this year's study book on India, and members were urged to do their utmost to make W.M.S. meetings really inter- esting. • Suggestions from department sec- retaries included requests for maga. zines and jigsaw puzzles for mental hospitals, books and magazines for Frontier College, and that good fills sionary literature be passed on to the hone helpers. A decrease in "Glad Tidings" sub- scriptions were noted, and as Huron had the best record it was suggest- ed that it might lead the way hi an increase of subscriptions next year. Mrs, G. Bisset gave some items of interest from an address by Mrs. A, R. McMurrich of Toronto on "New Trends in Missionary Work." Busi- ness mien are gaining valuable in- formation from missionaries, on fur- lough from foreign countries and this is greatly appreciated. The nur- sery school in Vancouver, and the meetings for the mothers of the children, are proving very worth- while, and are opening the way to wider avenues of Christian service. St. Margaret's girls' centre in Tor- onto is helping girls whose homes are broken up for various reasons to get training that will fit them to be good citizens. Mrs. McMurrch also spoke of the work being opened up again in Formosa and China and asked for the prayers of all W.M.S. members for the missionaries over there.

She will address the Arthur Circle of Knox Church, Goderich, on Monday even- ing, May 19th, then address meet- ings in Seaforth, Clinton, Exeter and Blyth during the week. India is very much in the news these days, and her message should be of inter- est to all the women of the church. A number of suggestions were re- ceived from Mrs. C. H. McDougall of Strathroy for the benefit of press secretaries. She, stated that it was not sufficient to say "There was an inspiring address," when one mean- ingful quotation or heading will create interest for the reader. "Ask yourself, Is there anything in this report that as I read it would make me sorry I missed the meet - isms, or does it give one the impres- sion -Same old thing. I didn't Piss much. The Mission Band rally will be at Exeter this year; the fall rally of the Presbyterial at Seaforth, and the Presbyterial will pay the e- penses for a girl from Clinton to attend Kintail Camp. • Greeting's were received from Mrs. Fox of Clinton, daughter of the first Presbyterial president, and from Mrs. H.
