RALLY (Continued) Mrs. E. Coultman (Carman) explainted facts regarding supply work. Requirements are sent to the Dominion board a year ahead, from whence they are divided through Presbyter-lals and finally local auxiliaries, who make or buy the required articles. This year supplies were sent to Archer Memorial Hospital. Issues Challenge Mrs. O. Deviney, candidate secretary, challenged all auxiliaries to inspire young women for full time church work as missionaries. A book review by Mrs. C. Taylor, Brighton, was followed by a question and answer period, and an inspiring Bible talk was given by Mrs. Vanwal-sem, Hilton. The theme "Faith" was chosen by Warkworth Auxiliary for the afternoon session. Miss Margaret Halliday, one of twelve retiring missionaries from Angola, told a vivid story of African life, and of the work being done by both the United-and Methodist Episcopal Churches of the U.S.A. A duet was sung by Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Divine, Castleton, and this was followed by greetings brought, by Mrs. N. D. Mcintosh and 'Mrs. Allen, Castleton, who gave the historical background of the W.M.S., the Presbyterian W.M.A. having been founded in 1870, the Methodist in 1881, with Sectional Rallies commencing in 1930. A skit was presented by Colborne ladies entitled "Stewardship on Fire" and Mrs. Petherick expressed appreciation to those assisting in the programme and to the Castleton ladies for the delightful luncheon. The Western Sectional Rally took place in the historic Cold Springs United Church with Mrs. N. C. Mcintosh presiding, and Mrs. McKinney, Past President, Conference Branch, as a guest. Mrs. H. Bryson, Grafton, conducted devotions with Mrs. Harold Winter singing a solo. A resolution of protest to the granting of a licence to Cobourg Golf Club for any further outlet for the sale of liquor was unanimously passed by the Cobourg Presbyterial to be signed by those present. Supplies for the western sectional will next year be sent to the Mission Field, said Mrs. Coultman. A wheel of achievement was made by W.M.S. Auxiliaries, each bringing a spoke with an outstanding achievement printed on it. The wheel was 148" 'round with 16 spokes. It was very interesting to hear the reminiscing down through the years since 1881, when the W.M.S. first came into being at Hamilton Ladies' College. The United Church W.M.S. inaugural service took place in Bloor St. United Church in 1925. One of the earliest auxiliaries formed was at Wicklow in 1881 by Miss Richards, Castleton; Plainville as late as 1919 which replaced the W.C.T.U.; Gore's Landing in 1926; Grafton W:M.S. in 1895 replaced "The Grafton Female Organization" which held tea sales to raise money for Mission funds and was reported in a daily newspaper among the lost causes in the history of Grafton. Harwood celebrated its 50th anniversary and Cold Springs its 75th. The work of Mission Band or Baby Branch was described by their leaders in the same interesting manner with a smaller wheel of achievement. Bethesda South, perhaps the oldest Mission Band, organized by Mrs. H. Rosevear over 50 years ago, has been in continual existence. History of Angola At the afternoon session Miss Margaret Halliday introduced by Mrs. Allen spoke again on the history of Angola. There are now seven mission stations in existence with 70 mission pastors. Mrs. B. Ramsay accompanied by her husband sang a solo and Mrs. Allen brought greetings from Cobourg Presbyterial and gave information on organization workshops.
