Barbara Kirkman Than koffe ri n g
Meeting.—The thankoffering meeting
of, the Barbara Kirkman Auxiliary
of First Presbyterian Church was
held on Thursday evening of last
week. The president, Mrs. W. J.
Thompson, presided, and a goodly
number of members of both mission-
ary societies of the church were pres-
ent. The Scripture reading was given
by Mrs. M. A. Reid; and the Glad Tid-
ing ,prayer by Mrs. A. R. Scott. Mrs.
J. A. Munn and Mrs. W. A. Wright
gave a very pleasing duet and Mrs.
F. W. Wigg and Mrs. Scott Habkirk

introduced the guest speaker, Mrs. W.
A. McLennan, of Toronto, who has
held several prominent positiOns in
the missionary organization and, now
is a member of the executive council
of the Women's Missionary" Society.
'Mrs. McLennan is a pleasing speaker
and has a knowledge of the mission-
ary work pf the church in its every
branch that few women have. She
very convincingly and cleverely dis-
pelled the doubt that might have
been in the minds of any of her audi-
ence that the Missionary Societies
were not helping In war work and
that the latter should come first. She
cited instance after instance where
the Women's Missionary Society had
done exdellent work in tha war zonek,
in China, helping bombed Churches t&
rebuild, giving aid to ministers and
missionaries who had been left desti-
tute; in the Islands of the sea, re-
fugees and shipwreCked people had
met with help and care from the na-
tives who at one time had been can-
nbals who had become Chris -
through the 'instrument* of mis-
sionary work. In our own Canada
special/ work is being done in mili-
tary centres' by women, supported by
the society, who give very efficient
help to young married women and who
also co-operated with the various
chUrches in finding out where the
church homes of the soldiers and'
their wives ahould be. Mrs. McLen-
nan very aptly asked: Where would
vire be if China had not a Christian
government and was not aur Ally?
The offering amounted to $120,30.

We unquestionably 'have the savings in cash and in the .bauk

Open Letter to -the Local
Newspaper by the President
DEAR CITIZENS:—
This year, as in Other years, •the .0anadian. Legi6n, through' its
1,694 Branches and Auxiliaries in Canada, is calling to the people of
the Dominion that they should observe more than ever in solemn
remembrance the symbolism which has. become an integral part of
.Remembrance Day observances, and asks 'that every man, woman and
child wear a Poppy from, Saturday, November 6th, to 'Thursday,.
November llth, in memory of those who laid down, their lives in the
Great War and of those men and women who have made the supreme
Sacrifice in the Oesent,conflict.
This appeal Is not made on behalf of the ,Legion or of its faemr.
bers, but on behalf of, ail ex -Service men who are in need. The col-
lection and administration of the Poppy Fund has been entrusted to
the Canadian I,.egion. This, however, does not ineafi that the Poppy
Fund is part of the funds of the Legion. It is kept entirely separate.
and is not even treated as a part of the relief fund. It is rather
considered as a Trust Fund, which the Legion administers for the
benefit , of all ex -service men.. In granting relief, members cif.
the Legion rebeive no preference but all ex-setvice men stand
on ''an equal footing. Any man who has served and who is in
need, has a „!claim on. this fund. The Poppies and Wreaths which'
you will be asked to buy are made by an Organization Of Disabled
ex -Service men. These men are alcgsolutely incapable of earning a
living in any other way, and but for this industry, would be a charge
on the public funds. If Poppy Day did nothing but keep these inen
self-supporting and self-respecting citizens, it "would still be „worth-
while.. • •
The organization of Poppy Day, the sales of wreaths and poppies,
the handling of monies collected', the investigation andtrelief of all
applicants, are dorie by voluntary workers.; No man or woman ..con-
nected in,any way with this .receives one cent as"wages; salary, bonus,
commission or allowance for expen.sea. All monies collected are
placed in a special account which is controlled by a Board of Trus-
tees of this Brandi. Every •expenditure made is fpproVed and every
.account checked by the .oard. Every applicant or relief is investi-
gated carefully but sympathe.tically. Relief may take the form of
food, clothing, fuel, rent or medical assiStance. It is practically never
issued in cash..
•
Over a million citizens of Ontario, wore a Poppy in.Remembrance
last November; 5,000 wreaths were placed in Churches and ab Mem-
orials, in hour of the :lead:
Should any, of- ourjriends desire' further information on any point
in Connection with Poppy,Fand activities, our Branch Secretary will
be glad to supply it. The Canadian/Legion it. grateful for the hearty
'support they have always, reeeived. from the general public to make
the lot of the distressed ex -Service men easie0and it is .our hope
that there will' be no partial or pei•baanent black -out for them. GIVE
AND GIVE FREELY!
