The deadline for re- newals is Nov. 15. Two new affiliated societies were reported, also a new Even- ing Auxiliary. Address By Miss SnMyth The special speaker for the morning session was Miss Susan Smyth, Toronto, who lias had wide experience in many Can- adian centres among the New Canadians. Many and interest- ing have been the experiences and friendships shared. A Latvian widow arrived here with her two 'chi1dren; with lier she brouglit a loomn made in the camp in Ger- many; ehe hoped to be able to make a living by weaving. How- ever, she was unknown sô she has been working by the day cleaning offices and daing othçr tasks to which she is flot accus- tomed. On a more recent visit to this home Miss Smyth was presented with a brightly woven cushion top which had been woven in the German camp. From this Miss Smyth took her simile "Canadian Tapestry." The "warp" composed of strong worsted thread is the North American Indian, the French and English who settled here years aga. The "waaf" -is the immigrants now commng ta Canada. Since December 1949, Canada has received 72,000 fromn dis- placed persons camps, while many other countries have had a great many more. Their creative spirit has been kept alive even in exile and they are bringing with themn many gifts and accomplishments of music and handicrafts such as metai. leather and woad work as well as weaving. Continuing the simile. the four heddle bars, the raising and low- ering af which make il possible to form the pattern are the home, school, dhurci and community; al are needed ta make a perfect pat- tern. Christian friendship and neighbourlincss must lic practiceci by us ail that the pattern may graw. God has placcd a tre- mendous responsibility on us who have nat béen hit by bombs and wc must be wllling to face up to it. President's Message The Presîdent af Oshawa Pres- byterial, Mrs. T. Norton, Locust Hill, brouglit a message on ad- vance.

Worship Service The afternoan worship service was under direction of the E\,- ening Auxiliary of Trinity, Bow- manville, and was conducted by Mrs. Clare Allun, Miss Marian Beliman and Mrs. Howard Jef- frey. The afternoon soloist was: Mrs. G. F. Annis, Ebenezer. Miss Norma Aluin, Newcastle, gave a wonderful report on the School for Leaders whîch wes. held at Whitby Ladies' College, August 28 to September lst. She expressed her appreciation in hav- ing been chosen as a delegate. An interesting skit "Our Aïl- nual Report" was presented oy four of the Presbyterial members: Mrs. A. R. Wilson, Mrs. Elton Werry, Mrs. T. Adair and Mrs. L. W. Dippeil. When filling in the reports in December, I arn sure ail will remember the rally and lie careful to see that the form remaîns in ane piece. Wc wiIl also f111 in ALL the answers even if it appears ta be repeat- ing. Following the skit a solo "Suli- scribe on Time," was sung tby Mrs. S. R. James, Bowmanville.

Verse 2- Oh, Missionary Monthly and World Friends none the less, Are needed by each one of us Within the W. M. S. From themn we learn the work That's done by aur Saciety. That ail shauld be subscribers You surely will agree. Canada Favoured Land Mrs. Aubrey Love, Toronto, for- mer Secretary of Christian Stew- ardship on the Dominion Board, was the guest speaker of the af- ternoon. Canada she said is one of the few favoured lands; in many other lands millions are go- ing ta bed hungry and cold. Here,' where we are free ta think and express our thoughts, it is diffi- cuit for us ta realize the liard- ships of other lands. The last 25 years has been one of exlieriment where three great religiaus bodies joined ta form the United Church of Canada. The women of the church join- ed ta form the Woman's Mission- ary Society of the United Church. We rejoice in what has been ac- complished but great opportuni- ties are stîli ahead of us. Neither the Wonan'i Association or the 0 fW.M.S. is complete in itself. Each has its particular task ta perforni. ..Lhe purpose of the, W.A. is toi have Christian fellowship in the local. church and community. The W.M.S. Purpose is ta in- -spire the Christiýn woman ta go tao the farthest outreadhes of- the United Churdli.. Success of the work depends the one upqil the other. . The. W.M.S. has one-quar- lcr the membership.,of the W. A. How.much more could lic clone if we had the other three-quarters of the womcn of the church unlted in prayer, service and, finances. The W.M.S. is a co-operating body, cither they assume a cer- tain task or work alorig with oth- er boards of the church. Miraculous Recovery Mrs. Love told' of the miracu- bous recovery of Miss Edith A. Brown. Reg. N., and Miss Milii- cent Howse, B.A. Both were sut- fering from a strange blood dis- ease and when at last they were treatcd in the Clinic for Oriental Discases in New York, they were restored ta health. -The drug re- gafely and easily carried s0 on spansihle for their recovery is Miss Brown's return ta Angola, the W.MS. sent with lier $700.00 worth af the drug. Before Miss Howsc returned, a Hamilton wo- man sent the W.M.S. $1,000.00 and asked that more of the drug be sent when she returncd ta An- gala. We have not donc aur best un- tii w.e've gane ta the uttermast part of the earth that others may know Christ even as we know Him. Words of apreciation werc ex- pressed by Mrs. R. C. Pearce, Eli- enezer. Thc Ebenezer W.M.S. extende.l a very warm invitation for 1951 which was accepted. OBITUARY GEOFFREY ST.
