The new discipleship was given The characteristics hearted, forgiveness, a new of his genuine meaning. disciples re, whole love--courage, trength and tenderness--sincerity in our studying Christ's life, then prac- tising His example in our own lives. offered by Mrs. Myers. Mrs. Bird, Oshawa, was appointed secretary for the day. The minutes of the last Seetional meeting, held at Claremont, were read. Mrs. «(Rev.) Merriam, on behalf of the ladies of Manchester and Myrtle, gave an address of welcome, to which Mrs. H. Thompson, Whitby, in a few well chosen words, responded. A pleasing feature of the morning a duet "Daffodils" sung by Betty Flintoff and Kelvin Edgar, two Mis sion Band members from King Street Church, Oshawa.

This school is well worth while-~men and women from the dif- ferent fields of labor---China, Japan, Korea, the great Canadian West with its large number of strangers--these workers are giving of their wealth of experience to this school dealing with the problems of Missionary work in all its phases, and showing just what the Church must face, and what a great part we may have in spreading the gospel. A Japanese girl, speak- ing at the school told just how much the gospel had meant to her. Through her words our Father is showing us how much our efforts are meaning to others. Miss McRoberts expressed her appreciation to the sectional meet- ing for the privilege of attending the | summer school and thought it would be a great education and inspiration to any one who could attend during the coming summer. A song 'In Heavenly Love Abiding" given by Mrs. Nichol, of Oshawa, was much appreciated, Echoes from the Branch meeting held in Bowmanville, was given by Mrs. White, Brooklin. Mrs. White gave a very comprehensive report, Prayer was wi port | obligations. $1.50 per year in advance entire consecration for effective ser- vice. The morning session closed with a quiet half hour conducted by Mrs. Irwin, of Oshawa, who spoke on con- secration. The present is the only time we have so we should be ready to use every opportunity that comes to us. Who"can estimate the value of attending to all the little duties that are around us? True consecra- tion is needed whether we serve in hight or low places. We are the only help God has to do His work, and we must realize we are our brother's keeper. Let us not fail him for heas counting on us. Fo The afternoon session opened by worship service conducted by Mrs. Bunting, who read Psa. 34, and Mrs. Smith, who offered prayer. The Secretaries of the different de- partments gave reports on their work, after which, a very pleasing duet, "In the Garden" was rendered by Mrs. L. Tordiff and Mrs. D. Leury, of Myrtle, The following motions were carried: 1. That the Sec. be instructed to write a letter of appreciation to Har- { old Barker, Oshawa, for typing con- vention programmes. 2. That the date for the Presby- terial meeting be left to the discretion of the Executive, 3. That the Sectional meeting send a delegate to 'the Whitby Summer School, : 4. That the said delegate be Miss Alice Arnold, Brooklin. Betty Flintoff and Kelvin Edgar again sang one of their songs "I'm j only a little Christian." Mrs. Robins, President of the Osh- awa Presbyterial, addressed the meet- ing, bringing congratulations to the women on the success of last year's work and speaking encouragement for the work of the present year. We have a great task--an unfinished task. Each one is busy doing her own par- ticular part. The disciples, long ago, faced untold difficulties--but they tarried in Jérusalem until filled with power--then went forth to work. They knew Jesus was the power with them, day by day. First things must come first in our lives as in theirs. We must be more in prayer. Is it having the place in our lives that it should? May the power of Pentecost come in great strength to our women, so that we may realize our personal As a Presbyterial,- there are three things to pray for (1) a deepening of our own personal ex- perience, (2). the extension of our work and, (3) that some one in Osh- awa Presbyterial may listen to the call for work in the great field, home or abroad. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. After singing a hymn, the conven- tion was favored with a recitation, "I have changed my mind;* by Miss Aletha Barrett, Manchester. _ Mus. of Toronto, then gave an address. She was pleased with the great interest displayed by the women in this work, and especial- ly the work of the young people. She paid tribute to the splendid founda- tion laid by our mothers, who had a great vision and much faith to carry on, in the past. There are two out- standing circumstances and condi- tions, as related to our work--Pente- cost and Peace. The upper room was occupied by men and women alike, waiting for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. What was the outstand- ing difficulty at that time ?---indiffer- We have to-day indifferent peo- ple to deal with. In our W. M. S. every woman can take her part and is responsible for this werk. How can this work be done? By praying, reading, working and giving. Why do we hear of so many conferences among the powers these days? They are hunting after peace. What is the remedy? We know Jesus said, My peace, I give unto you. What are we doing with our knowledge of this great peace? Are we giving it out? teaching the love of Jesus, which will bring peace? This is part of our re- sponsibility. When we think of the great privileges and benefits this gospel has brought to us--when we think of how God has allowed us to take our place, we should also think of the responsibility resting upon us, and be grateful to be able to help those less favored. Will we accept the challenge and do our utmost to carry His gospel to the uttermost parts of the earth? Mrs. J. C. Young, on behalf of the courtesy committee thanked all those who had in any way helped to make 5 the meeting a success. . The session was closed by prayer, offered by Mrs. (Rev.)
