honor their mothers. It is a beautiful
custom and one of which we can all highly
approve. but one thought comes to us as
we think of the o!te day set apart for the
honor of our mothers. Why net make
this and the succeeding years a succession
of Mothers' Days? n by not wear our
flowers in our hearts as well as on the la-
pels of our coats? Let us plant in our
souls and keep ever (resit not only the
white of purity and love, not only t e red
of present go$ deeds and manlike con-
duct, but both the white and the red. Let
us combine memory and present action to
honor our mothers all the days of our
lives. Whether we wear, on the second
Sunday in May, the white or the red, we
can on all days and at all times strive to
merit the faith and love and confidence
placed in us Ly our Christian mothers.

of some women who walked two miles to
their tbank-offering meeting through
slush and bad roads. They did this be-
cause 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 run-

ey and an increase in membership, We
have 82 au. iliaries with a membership , f
2,271, an increase of 98.
Mrs. Irwin, Young Women's Secretary.
said there were many encouraging featur-
es and n• any reasons for tt anksgiving.
We are glad to report an increase in mem-
bership, in attendance at meetings and in
the number of meetings held. It is our de
sire that they may be led into new paths
of service and that some of them shall re-
spond to the call to life service in some
specific form of missionary work,
Mrs. Scobie presented a most beautiful
report. The membership is63, life mem•
bees 177, total 816 Thisshows an increase

would extend sympathy to the friends and
relatives of our beloved president, Mr .
Moltard, and all other deceased members
of the Presbyterial. We would also ex-
tend our best wishes for a speedy and corn
plete 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 perpetuate the memory of o. r
o^.•:eased workers by more earnestly and
worthily seeking to carry out the last com
mond of their master and ours, "Go ye
into all the world,"
"Whereas at the present time it seems
impossible to promote the Temperance
movement by legislation, therefore be it
resolved that we, the members of the W.
M. S„ heartily endorse in every way we
can ane education campaign which may
be launched either by our church or by
the W. C. T. U. showing the evil effeas
of alcohol upon the bodies, minds and
s: uls of mankind."
"Resolved that we record our thanks-
giving and satisfaction that a Bid entitled
the King Bill has been brought into the
Federal House— said Bill being for the
prev ntion of granting of clearance papers
to vessels engaged in the carrying of bev-
erage alcohol into any country in contra-
vention of its laws. Whe eas the IV, M.
S, is an organ zation which has for its ob-
ject the furtherance of the kingdom of
God upon the earth and as we believe one
of the greater t hinderances, if not the
greatest hindrance be the liquor traffic.
"Therefor be it resolved that we, the
members of Huron Presbyterial affirm
that we are unalterably opposed to all
forms of control or regulation of the liquor
traffic, believing that the c ly effective
and righteous solution of the problem is
the total prohibition of the manufacture
a id sale of beverage alcohol."
