IA, in First Presbyterian Church, Sea. - forth. The theme of the rally was, "Our Responsibility Toward Youth." Mrs. D.. Glenn Campbell, president of the Presbyterial, in her opening address, dwelt on this theme. She spoke of Christ as a little boy in the Temple answered questions put by adults, and she said how often a little child can lead us. She ,said often we, as a W.M.S., fail in our work for the young people. We must set an example for them, and by our interestand sympathy keep them 'hi touch with the Church. Mrs. W. J. Thompson, represent- ing the Seaforth Auxiliaries, ex- tended words of welcome to the visitors. The morning devotions were taken by the Belgrave and Auburn Auxiliaries. Reports were given by the treasurer, Mrs. G. Bisset, and secretaries. Mrs. R. Wilson, Gaderich, displayed and discussed the study books for 1955 and Mrs. J. B. Russell, Seaforth, told of the work of the Leader- ship and Training School to be held in First Church, Seaforth, October 14 and 15. A letter, writ- ten by Rev. D. J. Lane, was re- ceived, sending greetings from the Presbytery, and was read by the secretary, Miss B. Campbell. A most excellent dinner was served by the Barbara Kirkman Auxiliary. The afternoon devotions were conducted by the Arthur Circle, Goderieh. Mrs. Ross Hamilton sang a beautiful solo, "The Task," nd the Explorers gave a very ,,leasing selection. Both were ac- companied by Mrs. M.R. Rennie. The guest speaker, Mrs. Marion Williamson, Wingham, was intro- duced by Mrs. G. Bisset. Mrs. Wil- liamson, a missionary to Amhut, India, is at present home on fur- lough. She compared India in the past to the India of today. India is strong for world peace, but is torn by strife within. In the new goVernment are many Christians and many of these are women. But many people are illiterate and often among them voting is done by symbols. The great problem for many is food; in this much of In- dia is a place of suffering. But with freedom, hope has come to India and it is making wonderful progress, especially along educa- tional lines. A memorial service was in charge of the Exeter groups. Members of the Barbara Kirk- man Auxiliary presented a play, "They Made a Path," directed by Mrs. W. O. Johnson. They graph- ically and effectively brought to the audience a knowledge of what missions mean in the world today. Mrs. D. J. Lan closed the ses- sion with prayer.
