'Pike, Egmondville Auxiliary reported having held t'he meetings in different homes which created greater interest and enthusiasm. Up to date they have exceeded their allocation by $40.00. The WesleyWillis WrSociety have only about 50'members. They have good programs and take. h p the Study Book. They have one member take Study Book each, meeting, also one member has charge' of .Bible lessons. Strangers' sec'y made 134 calls. Seaforth reported that we do in humility and loving gratitude to our Heavenly Father, always remember- ing that though "Paul may plant and Appollos water, it is God that giveth the increase." Last year there were enrolled 5'1 Life members and 65'an- nual members, also. 19 Associate Helpers. Interest was •sustained thru-, out the year and striving toward the ideal, "Every woman in the congrega- tion a member of the'W.3IS." (Besides the regular monthly meet- ings, every second month we have a special meeting in one of the homes 'for sewing and (for social intercourse, 1W'e also have a short missionary pro- gram, a collection and a lunch. There being six circles in• our Auxiliary, each circle provides lunch 'for one meeting during the'year. So far our sewing has consisted of patching quilts, the work being previously .pre- pared'by the committee in charge. We find these meetings very helpful in creating and'sustaining interest in the work of our organization to help to bring in some who would other- wise not be interested. Although to raise money is not the main Object of these meetings, the • collections aid materially is enabling:to reach alloca- tion. In regard to finance, progress is steady. The energetic Secretary of Christian 'Stewardship and Finance, at the beginning of the year, places on the blackboard a most comprehensive budget, carefully thought out by the Business Committee. This budget 'lists certain sums to be raised by fees and donations, by Associate Helpers, by Easter and :autumn Thanlcoffer- ings, by special meetings, louse col- lections and 'Envelope offerings, This year our Secretary placed be- fore the Society the ideal of raising rine quarter of our allocation each quarter, which has been reached thus far. From Londes'boro, Burns and.Knox while membership remains the same, the sulbscriptions for 'Miss. Monthly have increased, there is more enthusi- asm and renewed effort. .From Londesboro, United Church, they •have 14 Life members, and 34 annual members. They take 13 Miss. Monthly and missionary interest has increased. Walfon auxiliary has 51. members, 19 of whom are Life mem- bers, subscribe for 32 Miss.

Miss Jean Murray spoke on Tem- perance and Mrs. Conner on Associate `Helpers' (Work. Mrs. Forrester clos- ed the 'mooring session With 'prayer. The afternoon session was opened by the ladies of the Ontario Street. Clinton, leading in devotions. The speaker of the day was Miss Gillespie who said she had only been in Japan 'for 5 years ,and she would tell us Of the work of others who 'had worked longer in ' Japan. The ideas of Japan are 'ebanging. Formerly women were considered inferior and cooed only serve teaor arrange flow- ers. 'Naw there are many schools' for both boys and girls. 'Perhaps one reason is that there has been a change in the industrial world. (Both lower and middle classes labor, Some 1,000,000 girls and women find occu- pation in schools, office .etc.; 1,1200,000 work in, 'factories, and 62,000 work under the ground in mines. tGirls are demanding independence. There are 228,000 children's meetings held each week by the missionaries in"Japan. Miss Kilian 'Fukui at 'Red Cross Hospital held monthly meetings for nurses who were very interested. Girls -memorized whole chapters of St. Mark's Gospel after studying it systematically in their weekly meet- ings. Spoke of. groups being organ- izdd in High School, ' g o , m factories, in offices or Telephone, .The Kindergarten is one of the greatest ways of sowing the seed. There are 415 Kindergartens. In an attendance of 60, .four are from Chris- fan homes, the rest are from non- Christiau homes. IHow quickly these little ones learn to sing "Jesus Loves Me," and learn to pray. The women are working to help the native Japanese church. Their ideal is to send a Christian Japanese to In- dia or some other country where he will have to learn another language. Miss Gillespie spoke of many Wo- man leaders and what noble work they have end are doing. some in Temperance, some in Purity work and some. in School and Y.IW.C.A. These women have received the mis- sionary Vision. In closing she told us of a 'Religious Revival which is being carried on for two years more. All the missionary workers of Japan have united' in this effort. They believe greatly in prayer and believe the pray- er life of the people is lacking. She believes that at the end' of the three years there wi11 be a stronger church and she asked for Prayers for the Er- angelists, the native leaders and for the • non -'Christians, The Courtesy and Resolution committees brqught in their reports. The exercise given by the Constance Mission Band was delightfully given and much enjoyed. :Mrs. Lane in a fete beautiful words exhorting us to "Thank God and take courage" brought to a close a helpful meeting. After singing of "131est the 'Tie that Binds," Rev. A. W. Bar- ker closed with prayer. EGMONDVILLE.
