Kemp of Ueathcote, Cor.-Sec. of Mission Band* in Toronto Conference, was n able to be present he Rent a letter which was read by Mrs. W. A. Armstrong. Mrs. \Vm. Breete, Chatsworth. read a paper on ' 'Our Ind-aus ind their train- ing for Citizenship." She taid that the Missionary Society w is organized in 1S24 with the prcitic object uf sending the Bread of Life to the Indians and yet there are 18,000 Pag-in Indians in Can- uti.t. .They have imbibed the white man's vices and been .-uined by the while man's tire water. She deplored the giviog of tieaty money as it doe* not lend Co self support. The Indian cannot change his habits and so the children must be train- ed and taught. Day schools have been opeued where it was possible to secure a teacher, but the loviug habits of the people minimize the value of these- schools. Boarding schools and indust- rial schools are more valuable >< they teach the boys and girls to l>e self tupporting and it develop*.-* chaiacter, and too much praise cannot )>e given to those who ire engaged in thU work . Mrs. Wilmott. President i-t Toron'.J Conference, W. M. S. , answered the (Question Drawer which WAS helpful. Mrs. Mark E. Wright rendered a solo and Mrs. K. H.

During the te hour Mrs. Me Vicar brought greetings from the I'res- 'o Christianize tlie Chinese is through the mothers, au I in order to reach them we must send lady missionaries, school and kindergarten '.eachtrs and doctors, open dispensaries, boarding schools, in- dustrial school*, etc. Though we have 119 missionaries ouny m-jre are needed. She made a strong plei that, instead if lessening our givinga owing t<> the war and stringency of money, we should rather incre.ue cur lioeiah'ty for we have sent our Missionaries and we must not allow them or the work tc suffer. Miss Rowe of Dundalk delighted her audience with a solo and Mr. Dudgeon gave a rousing and earnest address. Having been in Northern Ontario for a term he knows the need of missionaries in that part of Ontario, and speaks with no uncertainty on this subject.
