Mission Society 0 Presbyterian Church The fifty-eighth annual busines meeting of Httron .Presbyterial Wo men' Missionary Society of the Pre byterian Church in Canada was hel in Clinton Presbyterian cltuy'ch o Tuesday, January 11, with moe•nin and afternoon sessions. NI1's, H. Jac of Seaforth, Presbyterial president presided, and delegates were presen from Auburn Clinton, Goderich Exeter, Hensall and Seafortll. The morning session opened wit the hymn "0 God of Bethel," follow ed by prayer and an inspiring me sage by Mrs. Jack based on the word "Forgetting those things that are be hind, and reaching forth unto th things that are 1)efore." Slie urge that each member should .pledge het self to wholeheared servce for the Master in the coming year. Mrs. Jack spoke of the loss su stained by the Presbyterial in De cember when the secretary, Mrs Merton Reid, was called to higlre service. Her life bad been an inspir ation to all who came in contact with her, and her enthusiasm in all this sionary work had been a joy to her self and all those associated with iter. "In looking back over 1943," said Mrs. Jack, "we can see many things that we might have done better: In the coming year may we strive more earnestly to do the work that lies before us, and to follow the example of our leader, the Man of Galilee." The annual report was read by Mrs. A. Taylor showing that there are eleven senior auxiliaries, one young women's auxiliary, four mis- sion bands, and four groups -of Can- adian Girls in Training. Two executive meetings were held during the year, and the fall rally was held in Blyth, with Miss Negoro of Toronto as guest peaker. A report of the annual Provincial meeting was given to several aux- iliaries by Mrs. Jack, and other guest speakers during the year were Dr. Quinn,on furlough from India, Mrs. MacLennan of Toronto and Mrs. K. MacLean of Wingham. "Family Night" in the Presbyterial was a new and successful venture, in which ,Miss ,M. Webster of Toronto ad- dressed all the branches of the W. 11 S. in the various centres.. The meetings were both interesting and profitable and helped to promote closer co-operation in the various department . A quotation from one secretary's report read as follows: "At every turn we hear the sante thing, 'we are called upon for so much war work that we can't give to church work.' Perhaps if we had always given to the Lord's work what we are now giving to make implements of war, and to train our boys to use them, thele might not have been a war. We need to pray earnestly that we may clo our part to win the world for Christ." Much work has been done during the year in making quilts, layettes, and other articles. Books and mag- azines have been contributed for military camps, The lonely and the sick have been visited and cheered on their way, and each deed of kind- ness done will bring its own reward. The report closed with these word ; "Last year your secretary closed her report with the word 'Onward: We feel that if she were present today site would say the same. Onward into 1944 with the strength that comes from Him who e nid, 'I will never leave thee nor for - n tke thee'." Reports of the departments were then read. ul. Mrs. D. J. Lane of Gode- lch Mission Band secretary, re- ,ot't d .plendid work done by all the e 1 •s, Two groups disbanded for lel, of leaders.
