Mrs. H. Jack Re-elected Presid
ent of. 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 poes.ble way.

ary and four groups of Canadian
'irls in Training a new group have
ng been formed in Goderich in Sep -
ember. Splendid work is being done
v the' leaders in all these organiz-
ations.

Ross of Auburn, reported 299
ubscriptions, with several more to
cine, making a slight increase on
ast year.

olted that 9143 was contributed for
upplies, and that the allocation of

The meeting adjourned and lunch
vas served by the Clinton ladies. The
a session opened with the
ymn. "We have heard a joyful
ound," followed by prayer by Mrs,
W. J. Thompson of Seaforth.

ary and exchange secretary, Miss E.

NIrs. G. MacEwan of Goderich. Sales

rease on last year, and a large quan-
ity of good reading material was
rovided for the men and women of

ted that 888 calls had been made
during the year on sick and shut-
in members; 182 letters were written
and seventeen removals reported..
The home helper secretary, Miss
L. Jeckell of Exeter, reported 274

the influence of these consecrated
women could never be measured by
figures.
Miss A. MacDonald of Goderich,
supply secretary, reported that apart
from the $143 contributed in cash
two bales had been sent valued at
$150. Toys and small articles made
by Mission Band members would be
