Huron Presbyt�rkil WMS holds rally
There was an encouraging
representation of members at (he
spring rally of the Stratford Huron
Presbyterial of the Women's Mis-
sionary Society ( W.D.) of
Presbyterian Church in Canada at
Knox Presbyterian church, Goderich.
It was the 100th anniversary
t 1885-19851 of Iluron Presbyterial
Woolen's Missionary Society with the
Arthur Circle and W.M.S. Afternoon
Auxiliary W.D.(1 of Knox as
hostesses.
Registration commenced with Mrs.
R. Bisset and Mrs. G.L. Royal in
charge and members soon found their
way to enjoy friendly visitation while
they had a cup of tea and anniversary
cake. Mrs. W.J. Thompson of
Seaforth. president of the
Presbyterial 1944-47 had the honour of
cutting the cake and Mrs. Mel. Bogie
of Knox made the cake.
Members assembled in the sanc-
tuary for the meeting, theme of which
was "Our Heritage" with the presi-
dent, Mrs. Clayton Edward presiding
and welcoming all with the call to
worship. Devotions were given by
members of the Arthur Circle.
Greetings were extended by the
Reverent. Lockhart Royal of Knox
and bu iness of the meeting
commenced.
There were eight missionary
groups in the •Iluron Presbyterial
before amalgamation with Stratford
Presbyterial, one of which joined the
Maitland Presbyterial.Shorl histories
of these groups proved very in-
teresting and showed active organiza-
tions and a wonderful heritage hand-
ed down by all. Mrs. G. Henderson
read the Auburn W.M.S. report as
well as Knox W.M.S. Afternoon Aux-
illiary report; The Arthur Circle of
Knox report.was given by Mrs. Bert
McCreath; Betgrave W.M.S. report
by Mrs. W. McBirnie; Hensall W.M.S.
report by Mrs. Faber; Presbyterian
Women's report Hensall by Mrs. E.

Knox handbell choir with conductor
Andrew Carruthers favoured all with
two impressive numbers. In
memoriam was given by Mrs. A.C.
Young and Mrs. D. Croft. Special
recognition was given to past
presidents - Mrs. Hugh Jack was not
able to be present but her impressive
tetter was read; Mrs. W.J. Thomp-
son, Mrs. Jack Pollock, Mrs. Elmer
Rivers, Mrs. Robert McAllister and
Mrs. S. Peebles all received a gift of
a corsage. Mrs. R. McAllister, presi-
dent Knox W.M.S. Afternoon Aux-
iliary; introduced the guest speaker,
Mary Jane Bisset, who is.a mission
worker in the London Presbytery.
The message was practical and
enlightening. "Christianity is more
than a tradition - it is a hope." We
understand out of the past but we live
out of the future. The W.M.S. is the
back bone for missions. Mrs. R.
McCall thanked the speaker and
presented hex with a gift while she
commented, our Society is the back
bone and it is our responsibility to
reach out in Love.
Courtesies were given by Mrs. A.L.

offering was being received Mrs
Robert McCallum favoured with a
solo "The Lord is My Light" accom-
panied by Mrs. L. Dottereer, organist.
Mrs. E. Rivers of Seaforth led the
members in the closing worship litan
followed by prayer.by the president
and the benediction by Rev. G.L.
Rgyal.
The meeting offered much to all
with the zeal to go forward with the
missionary challenge as our goal
"The World for Christ."
It took a holiday to bring the much
needed rain which will green up the
lawns- and give the newly planted
flowers a good start. Mr. Molner has
planted the tomato plants in his
vegetable .garden which we all en-
joyed last year.
On Tuesday evening the W.M.S.C.
of the Zurich Mennonite Church
entertained the residents to a
