She called him but received no an- swer. 0n striking a match she dis- covered a young man named Mooney, a youth of about 15 or 16 years of age. The young fellow at once attacked her, striking her over the eyes with a hic- kory stick which he carried. Although severely injured, and with her eyes blinded by the blow and by PAGE Gets Eighteen Months For Stealing a Horse MRS. Wm.

Mrs. Lord f the W.F.M.S. of the Presbyterian church, Mrs. England and Mrs. Cook, for the Lad- ies’ Missionary Society of the Baptist church presented greetings from their respective societies, which were re- plied to by Mrs. Cragg. president of the Auxiliary of the W.M.S. of town. After music rendered by the choir, Mrs. Mulligan conducted the Confer- ence on Mission Bands, and asked a number of questions relative to the proper method of conducting a Miso sion Band, which provoked a good deal of helpful discussion. It was agreed that the work is needful and urgent. Children must be trained in the missionary work of the church in order that their talents and ener- gies be directed along proper lines and to provide for the future the mis- sionary workers of the church. The difficulty of getting suitable leaders for the Bands was discussed. The Conference closed by many helpful suggestions given by Mrs. Kendry, of Peterboro. After a well rendered solo given by Mrs. E. A. McArthur, Mrs. Real, of Lindsay led a discussion on Christian Stewardship, after which the session closed by singing hymn 116. The ladies of the church had pre- pared supper in the basement for the visiting delegates and had previously invited the members of sister organ- izations of town to remain and par- take of same. Nicely decorated tables, a bountiful supply of good things and attentive waitresses made this part of the programme very en- joyable to all. The evening session opened at 8p. m., Rev. W. J. M. Cragg, B.A., B.D., in the chair. After devotional exer- cises conducted by Rev. Mr. Lord, of the Presbyterian church and a well rendered anthem by the choir the min- utes of the afternoon session were read by the secretary, Mrs. H. Morri- son, of Lindsay: - - - ,-__._ ML Duna, v. uâ€"......._,, Then followed the chairman’s ad- dress, in which he spoke of the W0- men’s Missionary Society as having ‘been responsible for two other great missionary movements, namely the Student Volunteer Movement and the Layman’s Missionary Movement which have given such an impetus to mis- sionary work in the churches. I After the rendering of a duet by Miss Martha Quibell, Mrs. M. E. Wil- son, of Dunsford, presented the organ- izer’s report. She reported 11 Auxil- iaries, 1 Circle and 4 Mission Bands in the district. The report was high- ly encouraging. As an example she‘ quoted the Auxiliary of Cameron, or-1 ganized one year ago with a member- ship oi 12, having increased that membership to seventeen and intend- ing in the near future to organize a Mission Band for the children. She spoke of the faithfulness of many of the members and oficers of the Auxiliaries who had often many dif- ficulties to overcome in order to reach the meetings, citing as an instance the case of one woman who had to j.leave home between three and four io’clock that morning in order to at- ltend the annual meeting. A most. interesting demonstration of Watch Tower, “How it ought not and how it ought to be given” was then given by a number of ladies of the Cambridge-st. Methodist church, Lindsay.
