He was a very successful farmer just south J of the village until he retired just with} east of the who was and a life long Conservative. He is survived by his widow, one son Will - the village about eight years| -l'ago. He was an Anglican in religion, This 'sosond snual meeting of the Oshawa Presbyterial of the Woman's Church was held in Whitby Taber- nacle on Thursday, January 23, with Mrs. J.U. Robins, president, presiding and a good representation of dele- gates present. The devotional exercises were taken by Mesdames Irvine and Sterling. Mrs. Irvine reading from Jobn 12: 1-8 and taking her theme Mary's gift to the Master. It was an abandonment of gratitude, that she could not say in words. It was a gift of love. Duty, withoW Tove, is not what we wish to give ur Lord, No sacrifice, given through love is ever wasted. When Jesus touches our lives, that power of love and sacrifice is given to us, to accomplish His work, The following recommendations by the executive were adopted by the meeting: That the finance committee meet earlier in the year, in order to deal with the allocation. That the Supply Secretary be al- lowed to find storage room for bales, sent to her from the auxiliaries. That the courtesy committee be Mrs, Jull, Mrs. Bunner, and Mrs. Stevenson. . That each sectional meeting nom- inate three delegates also one dele- gate for young people's work, to be sent to Branch meeting, the same to be adopted at the Presbyterial. Re Whitby Summer School, that a representative be appointed by the Presbyterial.

Jatkson, in her report, spoke of ways and means of having interesting meetings, She reported 27 auxiliaries with membershipof 1438, 1 associate with 11 members.

This work stresses most the gradual development of the girl, 'the World's Friendship Rally held in Bowmanville last November, a World's | Friendship Poster contest was begun. 'I'he posters were on exhibition and showed a great interest on the part of the girls. Mrs. Scott, of Claremont, reported 24 Mission Bands and 7 Baby Bands. 'ihis is the foundation work of our society anda call to service in this [work is a call from God Mrs, Adams reported that the sup- ply work had doubled and thanked the' women for their co-operation in this work, Gave Five Addresses Mrs. Carseallen, of Whitby, ad- dressed the meeting on the subject "Minds Across the Sea." One of our great Missionary problems is the ne- cessity of study. In our young peo- ple's society the slogan is pray, study, give, We can't pray and give with- out study. Nations have need to study each other to cultivate peace in the world, If needed in politics, sure- ly it is needed much more in missions. Science has brought nations together in outward things but we have not ad- vanced in that direction in social or spiritual ways, hence the distrust of each other. Our failure to under- stand other nations may have con- sequences we little dream of. One isn't discouraged when we think of the League of Nations and the Naval conference from which we are ex- pecting such great results. We are thinking 'internationally, We are see- ing the dawn of a new day--Am I my brother's keeper in our concern. There are two kinds of interest, a general interest, when we know some- thing and are willing to help and a special interest when we make a special study of the need by thought and prayer. How does this concern our W.M.S.? We fear, most, indiffer- ence in many. This will disappear if we study and know of conditions. In 1928 we asked 6 per cent increase in giving. In 1929 we asked b per cent. increase in mémbership. Can we not in 1930 have five per cent, increase in study. Another suggestion mentioned was concise study of our Study Book during the six weeks of Lent, Give us this day, our daily bread, we pray, And give us likewise Lord, our daily thought, That our poor souls may strengthen as they ought And starve not on the husks of yesterday. Spoke of India Miss Maxwell, a returned mission- ary from India, addressed the meet- ing, telling us of the life and condi- tions of the women and girls, their suffering and great need. What could be accomplished if this splendid wo- manhood of India could be enlisted on the side of Christ. Miss Maxwell ap- peared in the costume of the native woman in India, accompanied by three girls also in costume. The beautiful ceremony of the in- stallation of officers was conducted by Mrs. (Rev.) A. L. Richards. It was moved and seconded that a letter of sympathy be sent to Mrs, Pringle, Whitby, our treasurer. The delegates sent to the Branch Convention are Mrs. Clugston, Mrs. Norman White, Miss Davey and Miss Pascoe. Mrs. Chapman, finance secretary, spoke of the importance of systematic | giving and urged the use of envelopes, through the year's work. Mrs. Horn, Mrs Associate Helpers' Secretary, reported 11 auxiliaries doing associate helpers' work: There are 62 associate helpera} raising $68.25, Miss Olver, Strangers' Secretary, reported 321 strangers visited, 96 pa- .| tients visited in hospitals, 16 new | Canadians under instruction and 1239) © A pleasing feature of this of the Temple", rendered by Miss Wesley, 0.L.C.

Scott, of Claremont, 'pre- sented the awards in the Mission Band contest. The banner for gen- eral proficiency going to Kinsale Mis- sion Band, a five dollar gold piece be- ing given to Miss Joyce Edgar, of King St. Mission Band, Oshawa. Greetings from the Presbytery were brought to the meeting by the Presi- dent, Rev. J. R, Bick. Greetings from the Bay of Quinte Branch, were read by Mrs. Jackson, in a letter from Mrs. Smythe, presi- dent of the branch. Miss Maxwell from India again ad- dressed the meeting speaking about the people among whom she works-- the Bhils--the lowest tribe of peo- ple in India. They are all farmers, live amongst the hills in villages and are spirit worshippers, Many of their superstitious customs were explained. They are the slave of all other classes. These are the people amongst whom our missionaries are working. They find them very responsive to the Christian teaching, They have simple faith and trust in this new life and it is shown by taking their prayer life into their daily life, Any customs that do not accord with being a dis- ciple of Jesus they are willing to dis- card. They try to teach the children, who are found to be very bright and learn readily, They are also taught temperance as the drink habit is one of the evils very prevalent. . Christian women in India are getting their place as a number of them have been ap- pointed as elders in their churches. Let us work and pray that the evil spirits, will be put to flight and the spirit of Christ will reign. The Trafalgar quartette rendered a quartette number which was appre- ciated by everybody.
