Women's $ Missionary Society There was need to elect an or- ganizer for the Whitby District and the npanimous choice was Mrs. C. Ji Pearse. This election took place atthe eleventh apitual meeting of man's Missionary Society, held dt Port Perry an Friday May 18t. +The morning session was devoted to Business and the reception of re- PO 'couple of papers were also givéy. One was by Mrs. Courtice, ) of prt ey, fitled, "** Why oman. Should 'Be -dntes- Ba in Woman. Sho The paper, which slowed what missions. had dore for women, and the obligation placed upon them, was full of en- thusiasm, The second paper--" Do Our Missionary Offerings Represent Self-Denial **--was written by Mrs. Wagar, of Enterprise... It bristled with facts and figures that showed that self-denial was far from plen- ful among church members, It is a pity that a paper like this could not be heard by those who need its counsel and stimulus most, as the practice offwhipping the good boy for the sins of his bad brother is not happy 'and produces pessimisni yather than the gladness of those who are sure of ultimate victory, because they are enlisted under the right banner. To sit down and alculate the amount. of money spent by the uninterested in chew- ing gum is sheer waste of nervous. energy to those who know the power of " five loaves and two small fishes."
