MET The regular meeting of the Unit* -ed Church Woman’s Missionary Soc iety was held, on Tuesday afternoon in the Sunday School Room^ Mrs. W. F. Burgman and her group in charge. The. theme for study beginning in 'May and continuing through Septem ber is “A Survey of Christian Stew ardship.” The Scripture lesson was* takenzfrom ■$eut. 14, and was read by Mrs. H. McKay, Miss Bolt lead in the open- ■ing prayer, Mrs, Burgman gave a very interesting paper based on our study theme “Stewardship” showing how in early days the word meant ‘■keeper of' the .pig-sty or cattle, until now its meaning is more keeper of an estate. AU of Christ’s teachings show “that we are only the custodians of our. “time, talents and estate, and all these should be used in His service. Mrs. Wellings offered prayer for all the work of the church’, its leaders -.and all the different organizations. Mrs. Heisler offered a beautiful solo •which was very much enjoyed. Mrs. Gordon Davidson accompanied her at ’the piano. The delegates who attend ed the Presbyterial at Seaforth, Mrs. ’Copeland and Mrs. Walker, gave splendid reports of the doings at the -convention. Mrs, Greer took charge of the busi ness. She told of the great misfortune ‘which has befallen our own mission- .ary, Miss Caroline Wellwood, in the "burning of 'the beautiful hospital in ■Chengtu, in which she was so inter ested. She had been in charge of its building, and of all its activities until last year when she found the work too strenuous. The ladies thought that inasmuch as $8.00 of our money is worth $141 of Chinese money we ■-might try and help her now in some special way. The June meeting promises to be especially interesting. Again this year we will haye a special showing of the ■work done for the bale, etc. Not only will the work of this society be shown but also that of the Young Ladies’ Evening Auxiliary, Mission Circle and C.G.I.T.

We are all looking ■forward to a happy afternoon with Mrs. Scott. Our meetings are always interesting and we aim to haye them brief and businesslike so you may get home in „-plenty of time for the evening duties. Come and enjoy a'pleasant time with us. You are always welcome. We will do you good.
