An interesting feature was, the rollcall of auxiliar- ies, young woman's auxiliaries, C. G. I. T.

Two new Bands have been added and Miss Mooney left this further thought with the meeting: "Where the Woman's Missionary So- ciety forgets its duty there is no Band, but we look forward to the day when revery church shall have a Miss- ion Band, until that day our duty is .neglected." It was reported by`Mrs. Johns that 16 auxiliaries have Associated Help-. • er's Departinents, with 214 members, who made a -contribution of $22cj.o3.

The supply secretaries, Mrs.. Ven- net- and Mrs. McGuire, showed that bales had been sent from different auxiliaries to the Indian Schools in the West. The value of our -own paper, "The Missionary`Monthly," was stressed by Mrs. Fowler, who stated that only 3 per cent of the members.in the Pres- byterail are subscribers to the maga- zine and iirgged that a special canvass be made 'in each auxiliary for the' .six' months' Confederation offer—"The Missionary Monthly from . June till December for 200. A. very inspirational report was Presented, by Mrs.' Archibald, 'the christian stewardship and finance sec- retary, who said, "We will never win 'the world for Missions until every .church adopts the Christian steward, Ship plan." There are 25 auxiliaries who use the envelope system system: atically, and who have finance secre- taries, and it is noteworthy that ev- ery one of these reached their object- ive many exceeding it. The seem - nary urged that the envelope system be adopted generally by our organiz- ations. She also hoped that as we believe in the power of prayer to up= hold our missionaries, each auxiliary adopt aspecial missionary in prayer, only 15 having done so last year. Mrs.' Clarke, ' strangers' secretary, . •spoke on the work which had been •dome, Showing the value of this de- partment, especially in the larger centres, where so many people tome and go.

PHILALETHA BIBLE CLASS PRESENTS PLAY On Tuesday evening, "April 26th,: the Philaletha Bible Class of the United Church, Winghani, presented a ,most interesting and amusing play, "Aunt Susan's Visit." ,.The Sunday School room was filled to capacity and the audience entered whole-heartedly in- to the spirit of the play, which was of a decidedly humorous nature. Aunt Susan, a charming old lady, kind-hearted,•old-fashioned and some- what eccentric, spays' a' Visit'to"'her nephew, John Thomas, whom she has not seen for years. The latter ap- preciates the sterling qualities of the dear old lady; but, his wife, who has acquired extravagant tastes, and who is ambitious to move in the best,circles of" society, is emelt • embarrassed by Aunt Sttsan's presence. Owing to Aunt Susan's absolute frankness and utter disregard of all conventional itks, many complications arise, -but in the end, .the genuine .sympathy and, kindnessofthe�Aunt from Pepper's Corner, wins the hearts of all who have collie in contact with her, and great is their regret at her departure for her country home. The various parts in the play were taken by the following members of the United Church. Aunt Susan Miss' Mabel Johnston John Thomas Tibbs... Willie McCool Mrs. John Thomas Tibbs—Mrs. Ches- ter ,Copeland: Rebecca Jane , ... Miss Gertrude ....Robertson. Mary Alice Ti ,..Miss Minnie Weir The 'Hon Sa „ 1 Smith _.........Charles Pattison. 'ML.

Miss Mabel Johnston, in the char acter of Aunt Susan, delighted the audience with her plear impersonation. Although this was unquestionably the most difficult part in the entire play and required a good deal of original- ity, Miss. Johnston played it' in truly admirable fashion, Between acts,the audience.was w entertained by the musical ' selections of the orchestra, the vocal numbers by ,Misses Jean Christie, Bessie Abell, 'Celesta Carr and Messrs Bruce Edgar and Ronald Cowley, the piano solos of Miss Hazel B,rarrdon and Miss `Laura Smith, and Mrs, Van 1l yek's readingsl.

It has ,been impressed upon hint that when the Pro„ ressive: movement i, -as at its height, 'he ran nick' -and neck with the late Jr W. King, it being so close, e t h a.ont h ee' r count Mr,/Spot"-: ton was g'i n elre^eseat••_by the Country. Judge, but this was reversed by a High Court Judge.. He has thrown his hat in the ring, and; those who know him, 'know he will go in after it, regardless of the results, Appar- ently his friends feel that since th` Conservative Party will have no per- manent leader, and no newlatf riu p o , until the Winnipeg Convention on Oc- tober nth, that there is no time to be lost.
