Conference (Centre Section) of Hur- on Presbyterial of the United church in Ontario United Church, Clinton, on Thursday September 27th, with Mrs. Lane of Seaforth presiding. The devotional exercises were led by'Mrs. Hiles and Mrs. Beeton, of Ontario Street Church. Mrs. Doan gave a beautiful address of welcome and hop- ed each one would have her difficult problems solved and go back inspired' and helped. The Secretary, Mrs. Fowler; the Nominating committee, Mrs. Aiken, Mrs. McMillan; the Res- olution committee, Mrs. Finlayson. and Mrs. Bremner, were appointed. The Roll call of auxiliaries brought out 'many good ideas' and proved that the envelope system was the best way to encourage systematic giving and of measuring up to the allocation. Sym-, pathy was expressed for the Wesley - Willis organization, but we are glad to see how brave and courageous they are and how desirous they are to do their part to keep the missionary work alive. In some Auxiliaries, the vice presid- ents lead the meetings in turn, thus giving more women the experience of presiding. It was inspiring to hear from each and every auxiliary that they are try- ing to measure up or go over the top of its allocation. The majority of auxiliaries used the study book last year and by the eag- erness which was shown at the litera- ture table many are planning to com- mence our new book, "Drums in the Darkness," a study of the work in Af- rica this year. With the resignation of Miss Hume Mrs. Weir of Blyth, has taken charge of the Young Women's Auxiliaries and Circles and C.G.I.T. groups and she' received some very enthusiastic and encouraging reports. Mrs. Weir stressed the importance of the young women's work and hoped more groups should be formed. After the offering was taken and hymn sung, Rev.Mr. Doan closed the morning session with prayer. During the noon hour the conven- tion was most hospitably entertained and 'served by'the Wesley -Willis lad- ies. The afternoon sessionwas called together at 2 o'clock, and the devo- tional exercises were led by the Lon- desboro and Burns Auxiliaries. •Mrs. Childs of London, in her charming manner gave a most inspiring address presenting the needs of sonic of our foreign mission fields. It truly made many hearts long to help more in the Master's vineyard. Mrs. McIntyre of oTronto, told a real story of our Home Mission work. She showed how much we owe to the foreigner coming within our gates. How large a debt we owe to these people for they have done a great deal to make our Canada what it is. She said) our greatest missionary work is on our own street. Short but interesting reports were given by each of the Presbyterial Sec- retaries present. Resolutions of thanks was tendered to the church, the people and our hostesses, the Wesley -Willis Auxiliary who provided such a bountiful dinner' to Mrs. Childs and Mrs. McIntyre for their most inspiring messages. We express our synipathy to the minister and members of Wesley -Wil- lis in loss of their church and hope and pray that. they may be given. strength to carry on under difficulties until such time as they have their church again. To any of our members who have suffered bereavement in the past year,. we would extend our sincerest sym- pathy and commend them to our lov- ing Heavenly Father, who sympath- izes with all. Mrs. Fitzgerald and. Mrs. Aiken sang a beautiful duet. The Egmondville Auxiliary extend- ed a hearty invitation to have the con- vention meet with them next year, which was .most gratefully accepted. The closing words were .given by Mrs. Hogg, who urged that we try to do a greater and better work for the Master. Mrs. Hamilton of Goderich, closed with prayer and we all left, feeling 'that it was truly good to be there. BELMORE The W. M. S. met on Wednesday— afternoon with Mrs. Ralph Metcalf as leader.
