it was first orifanioed. -

‘The funds to carry on the Con- vention was raised by means of a Convention Booklet, to which the merchants and professional men, generously subscribed; from the pro; ceeds of an autograph Quilt (which I may say will be drawn for at our Bridge on April 18th.), from Card Parties, Private Subscrlmlons and Cash Donation from each Sub- Division in the Diocese. After our share of the expenses. which was about six hundred dollars, had been paid, there still remained a balance of two hundred and f'fty dollars to our credit. i

We again extend our sincere thanks to all who amisted us in this great undertaking, and we hope that they will reap reward in abund- ance for their generosity.

Shortly alter the Convention, at a joint meeting of the Senior and Junior Sub-Divisions, Mrs. McIntyre was‘ p. ‘ ’ a Life Membership by the former body, and a beautiful gift by the latter, both gifts being accompanied by suitable addresses. l-lis Excellency, Rev. J. A. Oisullivan made tooth presentations, and add- ed his congratulations and good wishes to. those contained. in the address.

We started the year with a debt of over three hundred dollars, and I am glad to present to you to- night practically a clear sheet, which is very gratlfyins. “will rent and 0100.00 on the piano has been paid. .

Two hun- dred and eighty-five dollars was handed to the Sisters at the Sacred Heart Home, as a result of an En- velope Collection. We regret to say this sum was much smaller than usually given to this Institution, for we were unable to obtain a hall wherein to serve meals at Inhibition time, the proceeds of which were given to this cause.

Prlses of Gold Coins were given to St. Duristaub University, Queen and Roehford Square Schools and Notre Dame Academy.

These are just _a few outstanding

Funds to ‘carry on our regular work were raised from membership fees. cake sales, card parties at private homes, and one at the C. N. R. Hotel. joint- ly conducted with the Juniors. A chicken supper held inJanuary was very successful, and from it a eon-i alder-able sum was realised.

When Faloonwood Hospital was destroyed by fire in December, we opened our room in the Provincial Bank Building and prepared seventy five beds for patients, whom the authorities intended bringing in. When we were asked to turn over our Hall for their use we gladly did so, although we had expended considerable sum decorating and furnishing it to make it suitable for our work. We were given the use of a room in the League of the Cross Hall until other arrangements were maderThen the Knights of Columbus very oonsiderately placed their Council Chamber at our d's-

use of those societies fostered by us. We are very grateful to them for their generosity, which enabled us to carry. on our work without iri- terruption. _

The St. Zita Club is one of which we are justly-wood. It finwtlons under the csra of the League, and has a membership of about fifty. These young girls come from the homes in the country i0 work in the city and find conwpanionslfp and

friendship in this.Soeiety. Last

month Dr. J. D. MoGuigan gave them a very interesting lecture on Contagio diseases, and beginning next Thursday evening, Miss Mona Wilson of uie ma Ciosrwiil give a series of lectures and demonstra- tions on home nursing and care of children.

The Collegiate Club, which is also sponsored by the League, is com- posed of students from Prince of Wales and the business colleges, also a, few day scholars from St. Dun- stan's University. These young people meet every Saturday evening, and while away their time with games, music and refreshments. Letters have been received from parents of some of these young people thanking us for the interest we are taking in their children, and assuring us thpt it give; them, as parents, a sense of security to blow that their boys and girls arebeing looked after when they come in College. Our association with them has been a great pleasure and from our obbervation we can sly till-t it speaks well for the future of P. n. I. that such young men and wom- en will be its future citizens. These two Clubs meet in the Knishfs of Columbus Hail, oneonThursdayeve- hing and. the other on Saturday. and both are v mtenn for this privilege granted em by the Coun- cil. - ' _ ,We also have a Jimior Sub-Div!!- ion composed of business girls and

This was l great disappointment to us for we feel sure that girls of tlfs Province- wlth their natural ability and "fac- llitles for education" could win this if they cared to apply M‘ Belm- ‘ to two thousand dollars —five hundred dollars a year for four years in any accredited Catli- olio college. Surely itis worth lily- ing for and it is our earnest wish that an effort be made thisyear by some occur Ilrll lb "will" Scholarship. » On ;April 26th., the roast of our Imiy of Good Counsel, our Patron, a High Mass was oifered for mil‘ living members. and in November a Requiem Mass was suns for the deceased members. letters of sympathy were smt to those in grief and Masses said for departed souls. flowers were sent to members who wero ill and visits made by the sick Visiting Commit- tee. We have to thank Rev. G. J. Malsllan, D. D., of Sumrnerside for his splendid lecture on his trip t9 the Holy Land. During the year we held ten res- ular, ten executive. 8': eilliilll m“ iiwifjoint meetings, at all of which 1 w“ privileged to preside. This, of course, does not include the innum- erable Committee meetings held during May and June. At s number of our regular meetings, delightful musical p-vglammes, which had been arranged 11y our Entertain- ment Ciunmittee, were very much enjoyed.

D., and John Anderson, Daniel Mc- Bwain and Sterling McLeod, repre- sentative laymen.

- The principal business for which u" Pfeflbyttry had been called was the dealins with a call from Finch and Crysler, Ontario, addressed to Rev. W. Ii. Davies, Cardigan. The call which was signed by 241 oom- municants and 55 adherents and P" lwllmlllnied by a guarantee 0f 81,800.00 salary together with the use o! and glebe and four weeks holidays, was presented to the court by the clerk, Rev. R.

' Hensley Stavert. Mr. Stavert was

asked by the Presbytery of Glen- garry to act as the commissioner from that Presbytery and to pro- secutc the call before the Presby- tery of Prince Edward Island. This Mr. Stavert proceeded to do and showed reasons why Mr. Davies should accept the call to Finch.

flhe congregation of Finch and Crysler is a very important one with a large number of young peo- ilictobetakencareofandthe member and adherents were con- vinced that Mr. Davies was the man they needed to do the work there. “Rev.

‘It was then moved by Rev. R, Hensley Stavert and seconded by Rev. R. Moorehesd Legato that the call be sustained as a regular cos. Del call and that it be now placed Moderator then placed the call in the hands of Mr. Davies.

In a short. concise addrgsg m, Davies showed how that ever since having come to Cardigan, Lame Valley and Dundas he tried to do his best for the people of that eon- negation but that now when this call to a larger field had come un- sought, he felt that he should as. cent this call and had decided to dc so at once.

Mr. Davies then asked to be re- lieved of the charge of this con. negation after Sunday, April 10m, Tho request was unanimously Branted.
