John Wiseman D. W. L. Cantelon Auditors. S: L. Lucas; - $1,745.67 Fourth Annual Meeting of Huron Presbyterial Of the~'Vhmen's Missionary Society of the United Church of Canada. It was 9 am, Fran .the North, ifrom the .South, from the East and 1 Vilest of Huron County throngs of eve - 'of various orginizations of the Women's Missionary Society wended their 'way to the Northside United Church, Seaforth, on Wednesday, April 30th, 1930, to attend the Huron Presbyterial Conference. ' The sun was high in the heavens the balmy breezes blew softly, the birds sang their sweet songs, and ev- erything seemed to speak a 'Wel- come " to each and, every one. On entering the church the delegates apd visitors were greeted by the reception committee who made strangers soon feel that they were no longer such. The church with its decorations of flowers and ferns was very beautiful. During the noon hour a sumptuous repast was served in the basement of the church and anyone who had not become acquainted were made so now. and were made to feel perfectly at home. ,At the hour of 10 o'clock the audi- torium of the church was very well filled with interested women, with Mrs. Gibson, first vice-president, oe- eupying the ehair. After the devo- tional exercises,, Rev. Mr. Lane gave p, royal welcome to the church and town. Mrs. Hamilton of •Goderieh gave a reply. The central thought of her remark was "Others." The Courtesy Committee, Mrs. Hamilton, Goderieh; Mrs. Fowler. Clinton, and Mrs. Close, Seaforth, were appointed. ,Mrs, Greer, Miss Murray and Miss Sinclair were appointed as the Reso- lution Committee, Miss Consitt read the minutes of the last annual Presbyterial meeting, which were approved as read. As the delegates and visitors 'were counted the roll call was taken by or- der of auxiliaries, young women's or- ganizations, C.G.I.T., Mission and Baby Bands, to the number of over 300, representing 188 organizations. Mrs. Greer gave a most interesting financial statement, stating that 22 auxiliaries reached their allotment and many others almost reached the ideal. She spoke of some women who walked 1two miles to their thankoff- ering meeting through shish and bad roads. They did this because they loved to do it for "Others." They gave more than money. They gave their service. It is this spirit of delighting to give. "We want all our 'women to have this spirit, and then we shall be able to say with the Psalmist that 'our cup runneth over'" iNfiss Consitt received and read many letters of condolence and sym- pathy of Mrs. Mollard. The following officers were elected; Past President, Mrs, J. E. Hogg, Clinton; President, Mrs, W. P. Lane, Seaforth; 1st vice president, Mrs. T. Gibson, Wroxeter; 2nd vice president, Mr•s. H. Fowler, Clinton; 3rd vice president, Mrs. R. Wightman, Wing - ham; 4th vice president, Mrs. An- thony, Thames Road; recording see- retary, Miss A. E. Censitt, Hensall; corr. secretary, Mrs. A. W.

Mr. Sco- bie extended eyeipethy to us•in the loss we have sustained in the death of Mrs. Mollard, our President.. He aging • that in the ging of the hymn, "Stand Up, Stand Up For Jesus," we gain a new impetus, The C G I,T, secretary gave a pro- mising report. There are nine' C.G. LT. organizations with 140 members, having an average attendance of 106. They held 72 meetings of missionary nature and contributed $69.20. They studied the book, "Bereos .from Our 'Horne Land," which hes created 'a great deal of interest, Winghain C.G.I.T. affiliated Belgrave Society this year and Brussels is their Baby Group. We hope that every Atixuliary will, soon be mothering a C.G,LT. During the afternoon the :memorial service was conducted by Mfrs: Clarke of Goderieh and M'Iss Forman of Re- gina brought a. wonderful message. Hensall Auxiliary sent an invita- tion fcr the Presbyterial to meet witb them in 1931. It was unanimously' accepted. Associate Helpers' Report -- 100, members; $70.00; twenty-four auxil- lanes have Associate secretary, six nrore than last year. There ought to be ;sixty Asoc. Helpers' Secretaries because there are only two•auxiliartes where every woman in the church is a member of the *151.5, ' Miss ,Forman. We missionaries, when we come, you expect ns to give an account of our stewardship. Regina has a popu- lation of 60,000 of which 7,000 are mostly from the southeast of Europe and who spoke twenty-three different languages. These people are not heathen but their churches have not given them as full a revelation of Christ as we have. 'We have 12 churches in the East end of Regina. This Greek Church is Protestant, and they are very reverent. .Miss Forman told the story of how their mission started in Regina East ,End, .A little girl camo home and found a man there whom she was to marry (to please her father). Some women belonging to the lVfetropolitan Church said we were trying to help children who have to marry in their childhood hi foreign lands, why not try to help them here in our own Canada. So these women, with the women of the other churches in Re- gina, met and decided to form a mis- sion in the East End, 1916. So they got a house which they Hoped would prove to be "A House by the Side of the Road," to be a friend to the pas- seraby and that the missionary knight be an interpreter of Canadian ways and customs to these sojourners in Canada. Christianity is a very prac- tical work. There is not a finer bit 51 work for the United Church, to be a friend to such people and help them. The tone of the East End is much improved. Many little Christians when they become Christian, they want to be of service to someone else. There is also much improvement along the lines of education, 'When the Mission started there was not one in the East End who had passed the Entrance examination but now there are sixteen who have entered the high school and six pupils have re- ceived their permanent second class certificates and one of these is being sent as a representative to the Inter- national Sunday School Convention Sho told of another girl who was clerking in a stole and who got an education by going to night school and business college. She taught on tho prairie and taught the children ail the Bible stories she knew and all the hymns she knew and one day asked the farriers to bring their cars and took all the children six miles to a church and this' minister said he would tome and preach for them in their little school. Another girl won a gold medal for oratory in Saskatchewan on the subject, "Canada's Greatest Need." 'We all feel we are better acquain- ted with this field in our home Iand, Secretary's Report 'Miss Consitt gave the correspon- ing secretary's report: It is a natter of great satisfaction to be able to present to you this our fourth annual statistical report and to think I have the honor of presenting. the best -an- nual report that has ever been given of the United Presbyterial of Huron County. Out of the eight Persbyter• lois in London Conference Branch Huron was the .only one to report an increase in honey. and an increase in membership. We have 62 auxil- iaries with a membership of 2,271, an increase of 98. We have 1 Y. Wb Auxiliary, 9 G.G. I.T. Groups, 17 Baby Bands and 14 Mission Circles, having a member- ship of 1,429. She told the story of the year in a story form, using a river. In Huron ecunty flows a mighty river, a river with 62 tributaries, representing our 62 Auxifraies. Tracing these tribut- aries toward their sources we find that these tributaries are• fed by smaller tributaries, representing our. 14 Mission Circles • and 9 C,G.I.T. groups. Then if we follow these larger trtbutaries farther towards their sources we find that 35 of them, are fed by stream -aces, representing our . 35 mission beside. following farther on towards their sources we find that 17 of these tributaries have at their sources clear, sparkling, rip plitig bubbling springs of Purity -the Baby Bands. She closed by saying that our Auxiliaries are also distri- buting agencies carrying seeds of lov- ing thoughts in books and missionary. literature and plants of loving deeds in acts of kindness, from oke part of a community to, another, Sonietines from ane continent to another, The Missionary 1Vlonthly Secretary, Mips. A. E. Doan, reported Ss follows: We thankyou who so loyally sup- ported our Most wonderful, magazine. This is your paper, published solely for your benefit, for the use of every Christian woman within the Great United Church of Canada. Every member a subecriber, is our slogan this year, or a copy in every home. Duff's Chureh, in McRiIlop, takes seven Missionary Monthlies more than their membership---Egmondvillc took seventeen more. It was advised to read, mark it and pass it on to your friends. Do not leave all the canvassing for your M. M. secretary, everyone read it and tell your friends.'' Last year there Were 1,328 subscribers, while this .year we have 1,428, an increase of 100. 1VIis. Irwin,, Young Women's Sec- retary, said there were many encour- aging features and many reasons for thanksgiving. We are glad to report an increase in membership, in atten- dance at meetings and in the number of meetings- held. It is our desire that they may be led into new paths of service' and that some of them shall respond to the ,call of life ser- vice in some specific form of mis- sionary work, • Mrs. Andrew gave her report on the supply work. Mrs. Scobie presented a most beau- tiful report. The annual membership is 639 with life members' 177, making a total of 816. This shows an in- crease of 302 in membership. hp to date there are 35 Mission Bands in active work with 900 chil- dren connected definitely with the work of our WKS. The closing words were given by Mrs. Wilson of W4nghant and Miss Forman closed the meeting with prayer. Resolutions presented at W. M. S. Presbyterial: -"We, the members of the Huron Reesbyterial of the W. M. S. of the United Church of Canada now assembled in our 4th convention do hereby express our thanks to Him who bath been our help, strength, and Defender for all the blessings and answered prayers of the past years. Be it therefore resolved that we con- tinue to seek His guidance in our missionary work in this very critical period in many of our fcreign lands, believing that 'more things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.' We would extend sym- pathy to the friends and relatives of our beloved president, Mrs. Mollard, and all other deceased members eif our Presbyterial, We would also ex- tend our best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery to health of Mrs. Hogg, our past President, and Mrs. Colbourn, our Temperance secretary who at present are laid on beds of sickness, and that we seek to perpet- uate the memory of our deceased workers by more earnestly and wor- thity seeking to carry out the last 'Go ye into all the world.'" "Whereas at the present time it Seeing 'impossible to .promote the Temperance movement' by legislation, therefore be it resolved that see, the members of the W. M. S., heartily en- dorse in every way we can any edu- cation pamipaign which may be launehed either by our church or by. the W.C.T.U. shaving the evil. '.ef- fects of alcohol upon the bodies,. minds and souls of mankind." "Resolved that we : record our thanksgiving and satisfaction that a Bill entitled the Ring Bill has been brought into the Federal House - said Bill being for the prevention of granting of clearance papers to ves- sels engaged in the carrying of bev- erage alcohol into any country in contravention of its. laws: Whereas the W,M.S. is an organization which has for its object the furtherance of the kingdom; of God upon the ,earth and as we believe one of 'the greatest hinderances, if not the greatest hind ranee to be the liquor traffic. "Therefore be it resolved that we, the members of Huron Presbyterial affirm; to all1orrnbbf control en -regu- lation of the Iiquor traffic; believing that the only effective and righteous solution of the problem is the total prohibition of the manufacture and sale of beverage alcohol." DELAY -APPOINTMENTS TO DIP. LOMATIC SERVICE UNTIL AFTER ELECTIONS Ottawa, May 12, (Special to The News -Record) -Delay in filling va- cancies in Canada's diplomatic ser- vice is traced to the uncertainty as to when an election is to he held and to the further fact that those favored to fill such vacancies do not want an appointment on the eve of an elee. tion. Hon. Vincent Massey, Canada's first Minister at Washington, is seheduied to go to London as High Commissioner but he has no desire to shift to London with the possibility that is a few months, if the Govern- ment should change, he would be re- called. If Mr. Ring should be re- turned to power Iver. Massey it is understood, is quite willing to round out his diplomatic career in the cap- ital of the Empire. Regarding his successor at Wash- ington only one name is prominently mentioned and that is Senator W. 'le McDougald of Montreal. The Sena- tor is a close friend of the Prime Min- ister and it is understood he would like the post. He, however; does not wish tc give up his Senate seat to take a position which, conceivably, might not last more .than three months. Senator McDougald is chairman of the Montreal Harbor Commission and is connected with a large number of important shipping and construction corporations in Can- ada. timp,101111111409Jsi`-"arYo r r° BABY'S ;Baby sloe OWN SOA.
