The Huron Expositor, 1948-01-30, Page 7v • tt on, 'xi r Encouraging Reports Alfie G iv e n By Cogan't Heads. The •annual meeting of Huron Pres- byterial Women MfaeiQnarr Society Of the Presbyterian Church in Caps Oa was held on Tuesday, Jan. 13s f"n Clinton presbyterial Church, with, delegates present from Clinton, Code- rich, Hensall, Exeter and Seaforth, at morning and, afternoon sessions. The president, Mrs. G. Bisset, of Goderich, conducted the . devotional period, and prayer was offered by Mrs. A. Taylor. Mrs. Bisset gave a timely message on the need to give the Bible its rightful place in our lives. In the years when the Bible was out of the reach of moat people, it was the ones;, thing they wanted, and in war-t(I n Europe the same condition prevails; today. Here in Canada we have every! opportunity to read God's Word, but so oftgn it is sadly neglected. The new year is a time for "new begin1. - pings," and if all the members decid-: ed to make Bible reading a part of their daily living it would bring a blessing to thsamselves• and to. the work God has given them to do. Reports of the year's work were given by the departmental secretar- ies, and were most encouraging Why do sonemen achieve greater success than others? The reason is not so much because some men have greater natural aptitudes and abilities, but because they have developed greater thinking power. To learn to think, learn first to concentrate. This takes constant practice. All of us tend to be menially lazy. When we try to think about any subject, our minds persist in wandering. So we must keep yanking our thoughts back on the track. Practice thinking for 15 minutes every day about Canada's role in inter- national affairs, television, how to improve radio pro- grams, or any other subject you may choose. Stay with it and, if possible, reach some original conclusions. You will find that, just as you can build muscle by exercise, so you can increase your thinking power. And you will have taken an im- portant step toward greater personal success. It may pay you to concentrate: today on the subject of bringing your life insurance up to date. Your circum- stances may have changed in recent years so that your insurance no longer meets your present needs. So re- adjust it periodically with the help of a good agent. w:.

The life membership secretary, Miss G. Walker, of ,Hensall, reported that two honorary membership certificates, 18 life membership certificates and 26 junior life memberships and seals had been given during the year, making the total amount contributed for this purpose $780, a substantial increase on .last year. The report of the "Glad Tidings" secretary, Mrs.. F. Rose, of Auburn, was read by the secretary, and show- ed 284 subscriptions to "Glad Tid- ings" for 1947. The report of Miss Gordon of Gode- rich, showed that $134 was received for the supply fund. Two bales of clothing were 'heist to Rev. Lloyd Hen- derson, of Portage la Prairie, and two bales of quilts and baby clothes were. sent to Rev. Mr. Fesenko, of Toronto. The bales were valued at $45. Mrs. C. Hudson, of Hensall, Wel- come and Welfare secretary, reported 1.,250 calls made on sick and shut-in members. Twenty-four letters were received, six removals were reported, six became connected with the church, twenty names were received, and calls made on newcomers. Christmas cards, fruit, candy and treats of various kinds were given to sick, and shut-ins both in homes and in hospitals, and made a bright spot in many an other- wise dreary day. The press secretary, Mrs. A. Tay- lor, of Goderich, stated that more news items had been sent in for the "Glad Tidings," and the meetings of the Presbyterial had been fully re- ported through the kindness of the editors of the local papers. Mrs. Bisset ave a summary of the books on the. terature table, and the meetin adjourned for lunch. The afternoon session opened with a favorite hymn of Miss Jeckell's, "Lord, Thy Mercy Now Entreating," and prayer was offered by Mrs. Bis- sett for all the outgoing missionaries. The treasurer, Mrs. J. B. Russell, •of Seaforth, presented her report. Con- tributions from the senior auxiliaries and home helpers were $3,079.16; girls' organizations, $25; Mission Bands, $176.50, making a total of $3,280.66, an increase on last year; and an additional $100 was transfer- red from the previous year's expense fund; $130 was sent to the supply fund and there was a balance in the expense fund of $37.59. It was de- cided that $25 of this amornt be des- ignated to provide a junior life mem- bership for each of the Mission Bands. Mrs. Bisset spoke of the increased estimates for the work of the W.M.S. this year, and gave the reasons. Liv- ing and travel costs for the mission- aries have increased, buildings de- stroyed in Formosa must be replaced; iew workers are needed both at home and abroad, and more young people are offering their services. Last year's allocation for the Presby- erial was $3,000, and it was decided o accept•an allocation of $3,300 for U .' w• Mae t• a 1948. Tshe secretary, Miss B. Campbell, of Seaforth, gave a splendid report of the year's work, There are twelve auxiliaries, four girls' groups, five Mission Bands, and 182 home help- ers, with a total membership of 716, an increase of 16 over last year. The study book, "Towards a Chris- tian India," proved to be most inter- esting, and well planned programs were enjoyed by the members. Gen- erous.•.assistance has been given to the girls' groups and Mission Bands. Study books have been provided, don- ations given to their expense funds, refreshments provided, and junior life memberships given. These things have been greatly appreciated, and have been most encouraging to the various leaders. Sympathy was extended to all who had been bereaved, and, appreciation of the' work of Mrs. K. MacLean, of Exeter, was expressed, -with regret at her removal from the Presbyterial, where she will be greatly missed. The delegates appointed to the Synodical meeting at Chatham in May are Mrs. G. Bisset and Mrs. J. B. Rus- sell, with Mrs. A. Taylor and Mrs. W. J. Thompson as alternates. The auxiliaries may also send their own delegate. Mrs. 5. E. Daley, of Seafortb, was appointed convener of the nominat- ing committee, with Mrs. H. R. Wil- liams, Seaforth, and Mrs. P. Fergu- son, Hensall, as members of the com- mittee.
