President then opened the Prsabytorlal for business, and in c few words she introduced the very novel programme which was nicely arranged and printed by Miss illnid MJISOIl. She also stres- sed the meaning and pur of the Crusade of Christ, an urged all to rededicate their lives to Ills work. She spoke at some length on the treatment which has been meted out to the Jap- anese Canadians by the Canadian Government, and pleaded with her listeners to study the situation. and take some action to see that those Carudian-bom Japanese get Justice from the hands of Govern- ment leaders.

Miss Louise Cnllbeck. returned rniuionary from Japan, then sggke in very feeling terms as to t treatment given Christian Japanese cftizcns oi Canada. She felt it would have s. very adverse influence on the work of our mis- sionaries who return to Japan.

It was regretted that Mrs. Neil Darrach was unable‘ through ill- rzess, to be present. and her re- port was read by Miss Muttart.

Less clothing was reported sent tc the Missions. due to the fact that so much clothin was sent Europe. However, 34.14 worth goods was sent to Labrador and other centres. <

Rev. L. M. Murray than very effectively introduced and sang the hymn, "He Never Said a Mumbling Word." The ‘ with which it was received, was quiet evidence of the appreciation of the gathering.

An African Palaver. or a forum on Africa was then presented.

The literature secretary, Mrs. Hazen Howard. reported more missionary books having been read, than in previous years, a total of 956 books. The Bloom- field Auxiliary and the OT-sery Mission Circles won the awards for the best read organizations.

"I wasn't going anywhere at all. As a matter of fact. I was con- doninf an affair between the poor ittle secretary in our office and a man who has a wife. They're pathetically in love and the wife s a vindictive person, so I gather, who refuses to let the men go though she doesn't want him lidb self. ‘They're both nice people - that's what make it so tragic. And the poor girl ls eatin her heart out, and our work su fers."

"As, I see. Shall we sit down here? That chap over there in the white outfit is slewing up some- thing hot in that chafing dish. It. smells like chocolate. It is choco- late. Boy-Awe!"

Virginia laughed. It was pleas- ant to laugh again. It seemed weeks since she had relaxed and been carefree. “This is good." She stirred the steaming cup. "I was tired and didn't realize it."

"Mrs. Harrison is pretty slbk?"

"She's critically ill, though she doesn't know it. She may never be well again. And that may mean," she added with a sigh, "that I'll be looking for another job.’

He sat h_is cup down. "I could suggest an opening-but you're not interested."

"Please, Bruce, we made a bar~ gain about that."

The financial report, a very ex- cellent onc. was given by the treasurer, Mrs. J. A. Nicholson. The total givlngs were $13,957.29, an increase over last vesr of I655.- 34. Mrs. Hammond Toombs led in a very beautiful dedicatory prayer.

A memorial service for the de- ceased members was very feeling- ly carried out, with Mrs. J. D. MacFarlane. Mrs. Wm Clark. Mrs. T. J. Humphrey. Mrs. Roy Vesse and Mrs. Hszen Howard partic-

pat . Beautiful flowers were plac in loving mernorty of those departed. A solo. beau lfully ren-

dered, by Mrs. Dr. Callbcck, and a closing hymn. brought this very impressive service to a close. Rev. L. M. Murray. assisted by the elders of his church, dispensed the Sacrament of Holy Communion. to bring to a close s very in- spirationsl session of Presbyterial.

She went beck to Georgetown and got out a dress that would do for dinner In town. A black frock with a pleated skirt and a little jacket that had a pattern of green sequins on the sleeves.

‘Ihere was a knock at the door as she was brushing the small black hat that matched the dress, and she opened to a floristfis boy, who presented a square box. With- ln was one green orchid. and on the card was written: "Just a I friendly gesture-from a friend.“

She had never had an orchid before, except on her wedding day. Mike had bought three that day-lovely, fregilg things with wings of mauve and hearts of mother-of-pearl. She had ks t them fresh for two days in a gas: on the hotel window sil. and Mike had said, "Where I'm going, they grow on the trees. I'll send you a bushel of them." She wondered if he remembered? Probably not. More than likely he had forgot- ten within an hour. Mei-cu sl as the wind blithe ideas drifted through Mike's mind as butterflies drift on a wind, making, the world bright for a moment efore they blow away again.

"Perfectly proper. All my fi-lends are admitted."

The man who owned it forgot it and left town." "Looks like an old-timer. I'll bet he misses it. It takes ‘.1 lot of smoking to mellow a pipe like this." Bruce turned it in his hands, sniffed at it. "I'd feel that I'd lost an old friend if I lost this pipe." “I'm ready." Virginia said a- bruptly. "Oh, yes-thanks for the posy. I feel very elegant and ex- pensive, wearing it. shall we go?" "Thank the girl in the shop. I asked her for e flower to sut a lrl with hair like new pennies. he picked that one." "It matches exactly - not thh hair but the dress. It's perfect."
