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

and striving for a higher goal in fut
ure.

held in Centralia in November were
read by the secretary, Mrs. J. McGill,

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

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.

ster of Metropolitan United Church,

Today there seems to

men and women are being touched so
their whole outlook on life is changed.
The Kingdom of God means the rule

and each must recognize an individual

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,

May 24th Week-end
To Claim 30 Lives
If you are between the ages
and 35 you stand a better than
age chance of being among the
than 30 Canadians killed in traffic
accidents over the Victoria Pay week
end, warns the AU Canada Insurance
Federation.
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.
