Tliechief feature of the afternoon was an inspiring address delivered by Mrs, (Rev.) D. Ritchie, of Point Ed- ward. Mrs. Ritchie, who is president of the Sarnia Auxiliary, chose as her subject, "The Ministry of the Women of the New Testament," basing her remarks. upon the words of Mark in his clOsing chapter, "Certain women stood at the foot of the Cross." The speaker went on to show that even woman's daily round 71 toil may be xnade a service to the Master if per- formed in the proper spirit. She also stressed the importance of women's influence over the young men and young women, entrusted to their care, showing that from these must come the ministers, missionaries and church workers of the future. She stressed the need of prayer and the consecra- tion of our time, our talents, and our money. Greetings from Presbytery, which met in the Anglican church at the same time as the Peesbyterial, were brought by Rev. Dr. Forbes, of Tees - water, who congratulated the women of the Presbyterian church for the great part being taken by them in the work of the church. The alloca- tion for the W. M. S. of the province had been $130,000 but instead over $140,000 had been raised. He closed with the inspiring words of Paul, "Therefore be ye steadfast, unmov- able, always abounding in the work of the Lord." An invitation from Whitechurch to hold the annual meeting of 1930 there, was gratefully accepted. • The Winghani -Junior Mission Band pre- sented a pleasing exercise, after which the closing words were given by Miss A. McCalltini, of Kincardine and the closing prayer by Mrs. A. es one daughter, Mrs. James Lickley, St, Catherines; Olt° brother, Mr. Alex°. Simpson, town; four sisters, Mrs. A. H.
