In the absence of the Enniskillen members, Mrs. C. R. Carscallen, the President, conducted the Worship ser- vice, giving as a .good motto for the year, "Thanksgiving and Joy." A hearty welcome was extended to the delegates by Mrs, A. E. Billett, President of the Hampton Auxiliary, the members of her auxiliary being hostesses for dinner and supper. Greetings from Mrs, W. L. Smyth, President of the Bay of Quinte Con- ference Branch, were read by the Secretary, and Rev. E. F. Armstrong brought greetings from the Oshawa Presbytery, the latter leaving with the women a challenge and¥a motto "Ni with the News." Progress was shown, though not al- ways in the figures, in the reports by the various department secretaries. The Baby Bands, as reported by Miss M. Davey, of Orono, had increased by 2, with a total membership of 200, giving $31.00. The 2 Mission Bands had also done good work during the year and Mrs. W. C. Ives, the Band Secretary, commented on the almost perfect report sent in by the Brooklin Band. The Mission Band banner was 'presented to Mrs. Boyes, the superin- tendent of the Brooklin Band, to be held by them, as the Banner Band for the year. The Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. D. Luery, Myrtle Station, reported a total membership of 1328, which is a slight decrease, but 41% of this mem- bership are using envelopes, which is an increase over last year, There were ". three very good reports sent in from Tat ad ¥ WL RAR AE HOR Port Perry, Brooklin and Brougham, but Port Perry's being the .best, it was posted. A Mrs. J. E. Elliott, the Supply Secre- "tary, reported that the response this * year was greater than ever and 47 bales of clothing were sent, 6 being sent to the Stoney Indian Reserve, and the rest to emergency relief. The- Associate Helpers' Secretary, Mrs. A. L. Nicholls, Bowmanville, re- .ported an increase of 14 enrolled, 89 being the total membership, giving $132.72, an amount sufficient to main- tain 2 stations on a foreign field or to.support 2 hospitals in Northern On- tario, = Tt z Mrs. Myles S. Chapman, Pickering, the Presbyterial Treasurer, reported a total of $8877.86, having been sent to the Conference Branch Treasurer, which is 756% of the allocation. Three Auxiliaries raised their allocation--St. Paul's, Bowmanville, Tyrone and Brooklin. Mrs. Chapman urged the treasurers to send their money every quarter and to use the quarterly re- port forms which should be completely filled in. Mrs, Carscallen gave thé report for Christian Stewardship and Finance, and suggested that the allocations be studied and the amount considered necessary assigned to each quarter. Then ways and means of raising the amount should be thought out, follow- ing the motto: "Plan your work and then work your plan." She then stressed the objective for the tenth an- niversary of union--the deepening of the spiritual life, a ten per cent. in- crease in membership, in givings, in subscriptions to the "Missionary Monthly" and in the use of the Study Book, . The great value of Stranger's work was stressed by Mrs. Geo. Jones of Brooklin. She reported that 3783 calls in hospitals or homes had been made during the year, one auxiliary alone making 1716 calls. Miss M. Katerson, Hampton, spoke of the good work being done by the Temperance secretaries and told of the organization last fall of a Temperance Federation of young people of various churches to combat the liquor traffic. Improvement in the press work was announced by Mrs. G. L. Wagar, who said that more than 6500 missionary items had been published during the year in the local press. She spoke of her appreciation of the kindness and consideration of the editors of the papers in this district who often gave the missionary reports front page space. A report of the Canadian Girls in Training was given by the Recording Secretary, Mrs. J. C. Young, Oshawa, which was encouraging in spite of the fact that there had been no Presby- terial . C.G.I.T. Secretary since Mrs. Glenhy resigned. Auxiliary members es are asked to take more interest in the £C.GLT. groups: Mrs. H. Thompson, Whitby, gave 8 short report of the School for Leaders held in Whitby in August, speaking of the great advantages to all in such a conference and expressed the hope that many will be able to attend next year. Mrs, Norman White, Myrtle Station, Secretary of Work for Young Women, reported an increase of 18 in member- ship and $4.01 in givings in the Mis- sion Circles. A renewed interest is shown in all phases of the work with carefully prepared worship services and an increase in systematic giyings with all using the Study Book, Brook- lin had the best made report with Courtice holding honor for the best filled in efficiency test. 100 girls at- tended the Rally held in Brooklin in October. The total subscriptions to the "Missionary Monthly" for the year 1986 were reported by Mrs, D, A. Scott, Claremont, to be 603, and to the "World Friends" 194. She suggested a subscription campaign as a concert- ed systematic effort to secure new sub- scriptions, involving prayer, planning and hard work. The afternoon session was opened by an "In Memoriam" service for the 31 members who have passed on to their reward during the year, conducted by Miss A, Oliver, Brooklin. The special speaker of the day was Dr. W. C. Macdougall, who was intro- duced by the President as a missionary to India under the Church of Christ, and who was favorably known to some of the women present, as he gave u course of lectures at. the Whitby School for Leadership. He gave a very interesting and enlightening ad- dress on India, explaining some of the things about India which are so dif- ficult to understand. The fact that India was for such a long time an isolated part of the world made it possible for certain customs to gain rootage, such as the caste system and the worship of the cow. A Mission Band exercise called "Packing Our Travelling Bag for 1986" was given by the:Hampton Band and their leader as a feature of the afternoon service, Lat The three . delegates appointed to represent the Presbyterial at the Bay of Quinte Conference Branch meeting in Belleville in April are: Mrs. Wesley Gee, Greenwood; Miss Marjorie 'Hutchison, Bowmanville; Miss Made- line Mihalko, Whitby. An invitation from the Whitby Auxiliary was received and gratefully accepted for the next Presbyterial meeting in 1936. The Resolutions Committee com- posed of Mrs. Geo. Bray, Oshawa, Mrs. 'A, L. Nicholls, Bowmanville and Mrs. W. H. Richardson, Whitby, brought in their report which was adopted. One resolution was the protesting against the amendment to the Liquor beer and wine by the glass, and re- questing the Ontario Legislature to repeal it during the present session. Two solos by Mrs, Clifford Brown, Whitby, brought a message and were much enjoyed, as was also the duet by Miss Hazel Rundle and Miss Sadie Muir of Courtice.
