Annoal Meetiog of St. John's Church The annual congregational meet- ing of St. John's United Church was held in the church basement Mon- day evening, January 20, A splen- did spirit prevailed throughout the meeting. The reports of the various organizations were very encouraging, each of which indicated that the â-  ork of St. John's church is in a thriving condition. The report of Session showed that the membership is one less thn the number on the roll last Xear, altough there are thirty more non-resident members, due to the war taking members into active service or into war services of one kind or another. Th« treasurer's report showed that the membership is one poses of $2507.64, all accounts hav- ing been paid, and with a balance at the end of the year of $38.00. A hearty vote of appreciation was tendere<i Mr. F. W. Duncan and Mrs. Duncan for the careful work they do voluntarily keeping the church books. The Missionary and Maintenance report, given by Mrs. R. G. Holland, whose services also have been great- ly appreciated, showed total receipts of $363.50. It was pointed out that $277.00 of this was received through regular envelope givings, which is an increase of $35.00 over that received from the same source last year. Again the Ladies' Aid report reveal- ed a year of great service to the church. The total receipts of this organization were $315.4<), and the" have carried over a balance of $16.29. The W. M. S. with its faithful group of concentrated people raised $203.00 and the Sunday School again endeci the year with a balance of $24.12 after all accounts were paid. A hearty vote of appreciation was ex tended to Mr. J. R. Brackenbury and his loyal staff of teachers and offi- cers for the valuable service they are doing in the Sunday School. Re- ports were received from the Trail Rangers, C. G. I. T., Baby Band, and Explorer groups for children and teen-aged people. All indicated that these groups are carrying on suc- cessfully. The C. G. I. T. report, presented by Jean McTavish gave the meeting a full picture of the work this group of twenty-five girls in their teens, is doing. During the year they raised $57.00, but that only partially represents the fine work oi this group during the year. At the election held following the presentation of reports, M. Bannon, I W. A. Hawken, Earl Best, were elect- I ed to the Board of Elders for three j years, and Gordon Irwin for two ' years, replacing Robt. Priestly who is now living in Toronto. Laveme Wood was elected usher to act with those who were elected last year. Geo. Cairns, Mrs. Wm. Moore, Mrs. John Heard, Mrs. T. J. Fisher and Mrs. J. Cargoe were elected to the M. and M. committee. Messrs. C. J. Bellamy and E. J. Fisher are the church auditors. The meeting con- cluded with Mr. Geo. McTavish ex- pressing on behalf of the congre- gation their deep appreciation to the manner in which the minister, Mr. McMillan, and his wife have given leadership to the work of St. John's church during the past year. Mr. McMillan thanked the congregation for their co-operation and said that he felt a splendid spirit of goodwill prevailed in the church.
