Washington, of Auburn, in charge, the second annual meeting of Huron Presbytery Woman’s Association was held in James St. United Church, Exeter, on May 11th. Worship service was conducted by ladies of Walton W.A., with Mrs. K. McDonald reading the Scripture from Proverbs, Mrs. G. Love leading in prayer, and Mrs. G. McGavin giving an inspirational talk on housecleaning our minds, saying in part, "We should rid our minds of Hatred, envy, malice, clean the win­ dows of our soul with faith, zeal and charity.” Mrs. Allen Fraser, of James St. Church, welcomed the ladies, to which Mrs. Nelson Reid, of Walton, replied. The presidents message was one of thanks to the ladies who had worked with her on the executive for two years, a wish for better understanding and striving for a higher goal in fut­ ure. Minutes of the semi-annual meeting held in Centralia in November were read by the secretary, Mrs. J. McGill, Clinton, after which the literature sec­ retary, Mrs. S. Argyle of Goderich, displayed many fine book'k for use of W. A. groups and urged all organiza­ tions to make more use of this good reading material, Mrs. N. Reid sang a solo, accompanied by Mrs. H. John­ ston of Walton. Mrs. T. H. Walsh, president of Lon­ don Conference Woman’s Associa­ tion, gave a stirring address on the aim and object of the constitution of the W.A., wrich is to deepen the spirit­ ual life of the women of the church; to., develop a program of personal evangelism, to strive for higher ideals in future, since everything of the fut­ ure grows out of the present; to in­ spire in women a knowledge of in­ terest in, and loyalty to the church in all its departments. Mrs. Walsh said Christian fellow­ ship and visitation are an important part of W. A. work and should be per­ sonal rather than duty visiting. Dur­ ing the succeeding buzz session Mrs. Walsh answered many questions ask­ ed by various groups about their par­ ticular problems in W. A. work. The ladies of James St. W. A. served a delicious dinner in their new as­ sembly hall, after which Rev. Harold Snell, pastor of the church, welcomed the ladies. Rev. C. C. Washington brought greetings on behalf of the Presbytery, as did Mrs. (Rev.) Moores, of Thames Road, on behalf of the Conference W.M.S, Mrs. C. Farrow read a letter of greeting from Mrs. E. Desjardines of Grand Bend, presi­ dent of Huron Presbytery W.M.S. The afternoon worship service was conducted by ladies of Moncrieff WA with Scripture reading by Mrs. A. Mc- Taggart. A fine devotional talk was given by Mrs. Alex Mann on “Have I made the best of my life?’’ speaking of the seeming futility of life to some people, of how young people grasp at the .wrong things to relieve the mon­ otony. She issued a challenge to such persons to cultivate courage and faith, and to seek God’s guidance. Mrs. Joe Smith sang a fine solo, accompanied by Mrs. A. McTaggart. Twenty-seven auxiliaries answered the roll call, with a total of 119 ladies registered. The speaker of the afternoon, Rev. Anne Graham, was introduced by Mrs. Farrow. Miss . Graham, assistant mini­ ster of Metropolitan United Church, London, spoke with much enthusiasm on “The Gospel of Small Things." She stated that because we achieve greatness we there is nothing, we things may not have Today there seems to revolution in religion, men and women are being touched so their whole outlook on life is changed. The Kingdom of God means the rule of love in the hearts of the people, and each must recognize an individual responsibility. Persistent wear away resistance to Miss Graham spoke of trated effort of millions producing honey and of the many bits of calico required to complete a beautiully patterned quilt. So we must look for the Kingdom of God to begin in small places like our homes, churches and places of business. An invitation to North St. United Church, Goderich, for the semi-annual meeting in the fall, was accepted. Mrs. Argyle, on behalf of the Presby­ tery W. A. thanked the officials and ladies of James St. Church, thanked Mrs. Washington for capable leadership during her two years as president. Mrs. N» Hockey and Mrs. T.

According to officials of the Fed­ eration which represents more than 200 fire, automobile and casualty in­ surance companies, the highest moral­ ity rate occurs in the age group 15-35, In addition, say safety experts, the majority of accidents occur on dry roads, and on Saturdays and Sundays. Insurance officials warn that driv­ ing over the long week-end is more dangerous than -at other times because of the increase in traffic and the tendency on the part of drivers to speed to their destinations. They re­ commended the following precautions: (1) Avoid excessive speed, particu­ larly through built-up areas. (2) Cut long trips up into easily- driven distances. ° (3) Obey highway rules and re­ member to give direction signals. (4) When driving at night, keep windows open and stop periodically to rest and change drivers, whenever possible, (5) Keep well behind the car in front; it may have to- stop suddenly. (6) Signal for turns well before reaching corners. Walker Home Furnishings I THE NEW SIMMONS Phone 106 pi S. J.
