y] Mrs. O'Brien and all the officers of

{the departmental heads for their

unfailing support during the year. I The past year has passed so quickly ywith plenty of work. The bronchi ‘I are pleased to hold their meeting iii ‘ Summerside, where the first mis- sionaries started out, so we feel wc are on consecrated ground. It brings us back to the pioneer missionary days.

Mrs. Parker reminded her audi- ence that the hard timeswe are passing through are not the only hard times. Modern missions were born in times of war and pestilence, the early missionaries did not have the comfort that we have, but. they had. the vision of the mission fields which has grown to such vast pro- portions. Church work in Canada. in early days was of e. missionary nature and we owe a debt to the mother country and past missions, we also owe n. debt to future mis- sions, which we must not forget. ‘Through financial difficulties our membership has fallen and the Do- minion Board has advised that the membership fees be not collected from those who are unable to pay so that we may not lose their mem- bership. We need their help and prayers as well as their money, and because we cannot pay, we must not think we can do nothing, for we can do a great deal in spite of financial losses. Dr. Coburn stated that our deficits were created in years of plenty. We have many lessons to learn of self sacrifice and we have not yet reached the depths we can acquire of sacrifice. The Maritimes have been favored in many respects. ma. Parker touched on the celebra- tion on June 18th of the pioneer missionary work in Japan, the 60th anniversary of Japan church and the 50th anniversary of the wo- men's work in Japan. All the mis- sionary societics arc asked to co- operate in this celeb: {Lion and leaf- lets will be sent out with sugges- tions. Mrs. Parkcr referred to pio- neer mission workers especially Miss Cartmell, first missionary from this board to go to Japan. Miss Curt- mell founded the Ajabus School in Japan. The Maritlmcs have several representatives in missionary fields.

Mrs. Parker spoke upon the "kingdom of God movement" which is something that ‘we should take very seriously. We must find out what we can do with our consecrated livcs. We must not think only of our own salvation, but we must seek to share it with others. The word missions and the work of the W. M. S. has come to mean more than it did 1n pioneer days. We must pray for peace, we arc asked to relieve want, to help in sickness, to advoc- ate tempcrance. to show our disap- proval of womcn smoking. This and many other reforms have become part of our work. There is a tend- ency to think only of pleasure which retards the spread of tho kingdom of God. Mrs. Parker closed her ad- dress with an appeal to rill members to do all they can tc further mis- sionary work at home and abroad.

Nfrs. J. I. Burchcll ilicn read let- ters of regret that they were unable to be present at tlic meeting from veleran missionaries, Miss I. S. Blackmdre, of Yarmcuth, a Japan- ese missionary and Miss Annie El- len Blackadar, former Trinidad mis- slonary.
