The Recording secretary's re- port. was read by Mrs. E. V. Bell and the Corresponding ,Secretary's report by Miss Margaret Cotton, followed by a splendid and most gratifying report by the treasurer, Miss Ada Harris.

Mrs. Cosh then warmly wel- comed the special speaker. Vener- able Archdeacon Stead, who paid warm tribute to the part taken by women in the work of the church and gave an interpretat- ion of what is needed to be agood Christian. One must accept the fact that Jesus Christ came for our salvation, take His life as an ideal and lead a life of fellowship with Him and with others.

Mrs. Cosh thanked the speaker and called on Mrs. J. B. Murle who made an appeal to all church people to give a warm welcome and a helping hand to the many new Canadians now with them.

by the Anglican Woman's Train- ing College during the past 60 years. There girls between the ages of 19 and 85 are given a three-yesrs' course to fit them for work in the church or mission fields.

Mr-s.. Geo. Rogers, Living Mes- sage editor, gave a very complete report that showed once, more an increase in subscriptions. She felt that many more should be taking advantage oi the opportunity to have this splendid publication in their homes.

Mrs. M. Weeks, secretary-tress. oi Juniors, reported for this very important branch oi the W. A. work, making special mention of the outstanding work being done by the Kensington branch.

Due to the regrettable illness of Mrs. W.J. Pnynter, Thsnkofiering secretary, her report was given by Mrs. Townsend. It is most grati- fying to know that this fund is once more oversubseribed.

The report oi Mrs. 3. Bryant, Dorcas Secretary, showed in de- tail the great amount of work done by her department during the year and expressed the sp- preciatlon of the recipients for the beautifully made and carefully picked articles which are always received from the P.E.I. branches. In answer to inquiries, Miss L. Young gave an interesting de- scription of the work oi the Bishop's Messengers at St. Faith's Mission.

Mrs. I. Home, Secretary-Tress. oi Little Helpers, reported a most satisfactory year and Miss Maude Haslam, Prayer Partner Secretary: made members more conscious of the great value oi this contact with workers in lonely places by her quotations from cm. pond- ents' letters.

Noontide Devotional

The d devotional period was conducted by Rev. R. W. B. Coupland who spoke of the ever present need of the world for the services of faithful women and

onished all, as parents, to iii- stil in our children a love oi and devotion to the Church.

Mrs. J. T. Rodd, Social Work Sec'y.. reported a steady growth of that department in work for both home and abroad.

Miss Laura Young, custodian of the Book oi Remembrance, that beautiful tribute to the memory of the late Mrs. Simpson, reported a total,of 94 names now inscribed.

Mrs. W. E. Scantlebury brought in the report of the nominating committee as follows:

Hon. Pres., Mrs. H. 6. Ray- mond; pres., Mrs. W. E. Cham- pion; lst vice-pres.. Mrs. C. H. Coles; 2nd vice-pres., Mis. W. J. Dennis; iird vice-pres., Miss Eva Dyer; Corresponding sec'y..

Luncheon

At noon a delicious luncheon was served by the ladies of St. Peter's W. A.. after which the meeting re-convened to discuss reports and conclu” the business of the day.

A discussion of Young People's work nnd G. A. work in particular aroused a great deal of interest since the importance of young people taking an early interest in the mission work of the church is appreciated by all. A lively dis- cussion of Social service work as carried on in the various branch- es led to I. clearer picture oi the distinction between W. A. Social Service and Parish responsibility.

It was decided to send the Lit- tle I-lelper's donation as usual. to the Sunday School by Post, and a sum of money was voted to the Canadian Mission for the Arou- canisn Indians of Chile.

Freetings were sent to Bishop Waterman. Mrs. Wodehouse, Do- minion President, Mrs. Raymond and Miss Eva Dyer, also to the newly organised branch of st. Thomas in st. John's, Nfid.

"Sally, 1 . .
