Miss Wiggins, Toronto, superintendent
of the Junior Union, presented the fol-

We are growing as children should. In

38 '• 1893, 105 ; 1894, 178 ; 1895, 288 :
1896, 287 ; and now we have 815 junior
sociable's on one rolls, with a total mem-
bership of 17,451, making a net gain in
sooletiee during the year of 27,and of
members, 8,495, The Methodists lead
with 153 societies ; Presbyterians, 79;
Congregational, 34; Baptist, 21 ; Union,

The Juniors are enlisting in the
ohurola's army to the number of 1,086,
while Y. P. moieties have been reinforced
by 644 trained workers. The Juniors
are aggremive in all they undertake.
They [MVO donated during the year to
missions 53,094. The largest amounts
contributed : Euclid avenue, 573 Agnes
street, Methodist, 037.74. The increase
in Junior givingti has been greater in
proportion than moreasse in new 'moieties,
being $822.92. Juniors may give praotio-
al help in dietributing, literature, running
messages—make their personal appeal for
safety against the common enemy. A.
badge with these words (won by the
boys) "Vote for prohibition for my sake 1"
won neany a hither's vote in one of the
States norm the line.
Thirty-nine ['aunties have Junior sepia
-
ties. Fourteen countim and seven cities
have sooleties of Junior work. Hamilton,
Peterboro', Toronto, Brantford, Sh.
Thomas and Ottawa have 0. E. unions.
These unions are instrumental in the
great inarense in now societies whioh
takes place in the cities. In Toronto 15
new Junior gooieties leave been organized,
while St. Thomas boasts 5. County for
author work, °Elgiu is the banner."
Our Junior work has not gaiued in new
societiea as we would desire, but we be-
lieve there are gahae to the church, to
the juniors themselves, that cannot be
calculated. Aots of loving service mu!.
