Miss Williams was accompanist for John Goss, em- inent English baritone who gave a re- cital in Toronto Conservatory on Tuesday evening, The Toronto Globe critic in writing of the recital in to-day's paper speaks in the most superlative way of Mr. Goss' won- derful voice and his understanding mastery of every song he sings and also says, "Add to these points the fact that he had the assistance of two of the finest accompanists in Canada, Gwendolyn Williams and Dr. Healy Willan; that Mme, Jeanne Dusseau lent her beautiful voice and art to his duet numbers,--and one can eas- ily understand why the audience had such a good time that it was almost disorderly in its clamor for encores." Mr. Goss also showed his apprecia- tion of Miss Williams' playing at the conclusion of his greatest song by reaching across the piano and shak- ing hands with her. : iss Jane Mason, whose picture appeared in today's Mail and Empire as leading lady in "Honeyboy", has also been gaining mew laurels, Ref- erence was pi, in Wednesday's Times to the Toronto press notice given Miss Mason.

CONFUCIANISM 18 TOPIC AT ST, PAUL'S MISSION SOCIETY Mrs. G. Mason Gives Inter esting and Instructive Address (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, March 20.--~The regu- lar meeting of St. Paul's Women's Missionary Society was held at the home of Mrs, Carruthers, Queen St., on Tuesday afternoon at which there was a good attendance, the President, Mrs. Wm. Adams, presiding, After- noon tea was served by the hostess after which the regular business was disposed of. Mrs. Best reported that Mrs. Ross, who is home from Honan, China, would give an address at the Easter Thank-offering meeting which will be held at the regular Sunday evening service in St. Paul's church on March 24th, The society decided to co-operate with the W.M.S. of Trinity Church in whatever arrange- ments were made by the committee for the Conference branch meeting next year. Mrs. Lunney and Mrs, Chase expressed the thanks of the Mission Band for the treat given them by the older society at their recent meeting. Mrs, Brown read the Easter message as contained in the Missionary Monthly and Mrs. C. Murdoff read an interesting article relating to educational missions of the United church in Chentu, showing the wonderful strides made in nurs- ing, kindergarten, college and univer- sity work, Mrs. J. L. Morden read an article dealing with the recent inter- view given by Prof. Chen Huan Chang to R. ¥. Knowles, Toronto, in reference to Confucianism. This was followed by a most interesting' and instructive address by Mrs, (Rev.) George Mason on Confucianism which we would like to give in its entirety but can only mention a few points touched, Mrs. Mason wished in no way to belittle Confucianism but spoke of how it went just so far. They believe in God, but notin Christ as being divine, To them He is a son of God ust as we are all chil- dren of God; an excellent teacher and splendid example, but not divine. Another thing, their religion has not love such as the Christian zeligion has. For instance, they have nothing that would prompt such an expedi- tion as was recently made Li Captain Maxwell who went to the aid of Rev. G. Morrow: Neither is there anything in their religion for women, Mrs. Ma- son stressed the fact that when mis- sionaries go into non-christian coun- tries, the lives they lead. and their actions day by day have far more effect on the natives than the spoken word and said how necessary it was for all to live the Christ-like life in order to gain the best results, An early spelling of Kiddermin- ster is Chideminstre, and it means the monastery or monastery church of Cydda.
