« ’E@EI® TEA .Toronte Presbyterial W.M.S. - Sectional Meeting at Nebleten Mrs. S. R. Paterson, Presbyterial literature secretary, thought know- ledge of missions requires suppleâ€" menting .by reading. She advocate/d use of bookletsin the homes, use of program material supplied -by the department, and the appointment of local literature secretaries. Mrs. A. S. Curr, president of Tor- onto Presbyterial broughtgreetings from that body and congratulations to Besa and Eversley, whom she said presented a picture of a job well done. Mrs. Curr presented a new theme for the coming year, “One Thing, One Purpose, One Aim," which she said would signify choosâ€" ing the better part always. It is not enough to be content with going about; it is only when we go about doing good that service may be ter- med faithful. Opening the session, Mrs. Zuefelt said “We are not standing still as the large number of representatives here today point to the growing spirit of service." "Young women taking their part 'in the work, lends great encouragement to the enterâ€" prise.” Reports from auxiliaries showed increase in membership. From this society Mrs. J. M. Mil]- ei', Mrs. A. McClure and Mrs. T. L. Williams, have been associated with the Toronto Presbyterial executive, and the late RevsHem'y Ferguson, missionary in China, and son of the first president was a strong inspir- ational force to this society. Other officers were vice president, Mrs. Jonathan Folliott; secretary, Mrs. Charlotte Wood and treasurer, 'Mis's Annie Wells. In Ju‘p, 1888, a map of the North West was pur- 'chased [to study the geograple of the Indian Missions. From thereon clothing and supplies were [forwardâ€" ed to western missions, increasing each year, and“ reaching out to more people in need. Membership had climbed to 45 and givings totalled as high as $209, with bales valued at $112. In 1948 the bales am-Ount- ed to $138.95. From a long list of charter members, many have been made life members. In earlier years Eversley ‘and Temperancevilll: sep- arated, and Eversley has carried .through the years, strong in spirit, prominent in its missionary effort. Eversley Society was organized on June 20th, 1888, at the‘church, and Mrs. Agnes Ferguson, mother of Miss Alice Ferguson who related the story of organization, was the pres- ident for several years. Two groups had formed the society in 1888, Ev- ersiey and Temperanceville. Mrs. George Chamberlain was the first president; Mrs. Duncan Cairns, first vice president; Mrs. Hugh Mc- Tag-gart, second vice president; Mrs. Annie Wilkie (Hambly) secretary; and Miss Hattie Davis, treasurer. By the end of the year, 16 had en- rolled, and the largest membership had reached 22. Or anized on June 2151:, the revenue had amounted to $46.74 by the end of the first year. rural vice members, living. ' Delegates of Section IV, Tol‘Onto Presbyterial Women’s Missionary Society of the Presbyterian church held at Nvobleton Hall, June 2lst, were welcomed by Rev. J. F. Donald, Bolton, at the 33rd annual meeting chaired by vice-presidents, Mrs. L. W. Zuefelt, Richmnd Hill and Mrs. T. L. Williams, King. “ Auxiliaries were guests of Besa society, West King, assisted by Ev- ersley W.M.S. The occasion marked the 55th year organization of Besa and the 60th anniversary for Ever- sley, sister auxiliaries of the King charge. During noon luncheon Miss Anne Cairns, a member of Besa for ab-0ut 55 years and president for the most of 30 years, related how the society was organized on J‘une let, 1893, by a'Mrs. Gray, Brampton, rural vice president, with 13 charter members; three of whom are now VOL.

As chief speaker, Miss Laura Pel- ton, Overseas Missions Executive Secretary delivered a masterful at]- dress, provoking deep thought toward the future of missions, and the im- portance of a world-wide interest to- ‘w'ard missions by every Christian woman. Entitling‘ her address “The Miracle of. Missions," Miss Pelton vividly portrayed the reality of the thing; we are doing as something so inseparable from one’s very self, so much an integral part of every Christian woman’s being. The se- cure smugness of craving concrete evidence of what money, time and ability is put into the work; the innate desire to satisfy our ego, to feel virtuous in our small effort has given rise to overshadowing.r the fact that a task done on sight, though results may appear obscure has w'roug‘ht outstanding miracles to- ward redemption, that witness of Jesus Christ has been miraculously performed. , The Murgency 4 of the task ‘is so 'great‘fk'the glorious, dan- gerous and terrific nature of the task so vital. We stand, said Miss Pelton, on the abyss of we know not what, and if you or I fail, we lose for ourselves and others, some- thing irreparable and magnificent. There are only two ways to live on the frontiers of missions,‘ concluded the speaker, by prayer and givings. Mrs. Wood, supply secretary, com- mended contents -of bale supplies, and cautioned that socks be fastened together; freight or institutional money be marked; that bales be shipped “by the end of June. Miss Cheyne, presbyterial treas- urer asked for expense or supply ehequesuproperly marked and pay- able at Toronto; that supply secretâ€" ary give name of auxiliary and Miss Jennie Folliott, finance secretary felt the increased allocation of $34,000 would be .met,’ the more readily be- cause of the extra dollar per mem- ber for 1948. Prayer should accom- pany this special effort, she stated. Mrs. Hugh Ferguson, historian, spoke briefly pointing out that Besa and Eversley had made history and done much toward the extension of the Lord’s work.

Richvale School Principal Friday, June 25th, proved to be a very eventful day for Mrs. Webb, principal of Richvale Public School. Richvale School Teacher Fetcd On that day Mrs. Webb termin- ated eighteen years of pioneering education in that area and the pupils and parents of the community show- ed their appreciation for the patience and understanding that has marked her years of teaching. In the afternoon Mrs. Webb was presented with a lovely quilt which had been made by the 'pupils under the supervision of Mrs. Underhill. In the centre of the quilt was em- broidered a picture of the school building and the rest of the quilt was covered with hundresd of names, in fact the names of all the pupils taught ‘by Mrs. Webb in her years at Richvale. It was a very unique gift and one that Mrs. Webb intim- ated would be deeply cherished. Mrs. Charles, the widow of the late John Charles, was in her eighty-first year and had lived her entire life in this district. Born in Whitchurch Township, her father, James Pointin, was a farmer in that community and a local preacher connected with the Methodist church. Both he and his father before him witnessed with ef- fect from pulpits in the surrounding counl'tyside when ordained ministers were too few in number. Mrs. Charles was reared therefore under strong Christian influences and the effect of this early religious environ- ment remained manifest throughout her life. In the evening the parents of the community gathered to pay their respects and to present Mrs. Webb with a beautiful silver tea Service. After the presentation during which Dr. A. W. R. Dean and Mr. Basker- ville spoke of the appreciation the neighborhood felt for Mrs. Webb's unselfish service a sing-song was led by Mr. Harold Ince followed by tea which was served by the Richvale Women Workers. [Toronto Teachers Pay Homage t0 Richvale Resident The beautiful garden of Dr. A. W. R. Doan, Richvale was the setting last Wednesday afternoon when some three hundred and seventy-five school teachers from the northern Following their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Charles removed to Patterson, near Richmond Hill, where they lived for nearly 50 years. A family of six children, four boys and two girls, was reared in that home and the family circle was broken only by the father’s death a few years ago. When Mrs. Charles suffered the loss of her husband, she moved to Richmond Hill where she had resided over ten years. Here, as in former years, her church has been central in her life. She was a devoted member, a regular at- tendant and a constant supporter of all the W‘omen‘s Organizations of the church, especially of the Women’s Missionary Society. Wlhatever her work, whether in Church or Red Cross, her companions found her ever cheerful and generous in the ser- vice that she rendered. It made her very happy, only a few weeks before her death to be able to procure the silver trowel used by Mrs. Patter- son when the corner stone of the Richmond Hill United Church was laid in 1880. This beauiful QOen- to was placed on display during the Anniversary Services of May 23, 1948. This thoughtful act was only one of many issuing from a lovely. Winsome personality, beloved by all who knew her in church and village. Though not entirely unexpected, the sudden passing of Mrs. Alice Charles at her Richmond Hill home last Tuesday, June 22nd came as a great shock to her relatives and many friends. The funeral service was held at Wright and Taylor’s Funeral Home and conducted by Rev. C. B. Breth- en of Richmond Hill United Church. She leaves to mourn her loss, an affectionate family of sons and daughters together with their child- ren, who with many lifelong friends, pay tribute to a wonderful mother and a true member of the Flock of God.

DOAN, FORTY-TWO YEARS WITH TORONTO BOARD OF EiDCUATIONâ€"COMMUNITY HALL PROGRESSING OB ITUA RY ADVERTISING IN CETS RESULTS THE LIBERAL section of the City of Toronto gath- ered to pay homage to him upon his retirement. At the close of this year’s school term, Dr. Doan had completed forty- two years in the service of the Tor- onto Board of Education, the latter sixteen of which were served in the capacity of Inspector of Schools. It is a glowing tribute to D1‘. Doan that such a large number of those whom he has guided and given the benefit of his years of experience should wish to show their apprecia- tion in such a personal manner. Dur- ing the party the presentation of a very handsome walnut desk and a book of remembrance was made to Dr. Dean. Dr. Doan in retiring will be ccâ€" cupied with his garden and his flowâ€" ers or as he so aptly puts it, “re- tiring from one occupation which I enjoyed fully to another from which I derive equal enjoyment." Richvale Community Hall It is planned to complete the work on the floor this coming week end and all the volunteers in Richvale, who possibly can, are entreated to hold Sunday open so the job can be completed in the one day. The entertainment committee are again planning a gala wrestling show in the near futufe under the sponsorship of that children’s idol, “Red” Garner. Watch for the anâ€" nouncement of the exact date which is expected to be July 20th. A large gathering showed deep in- terest in the colorful drumhead ser- vice sponsored by King Legion, No. 438, held Sunday afternoon on the lawn of All Saints Anglican Church. The local post was under the com- mand of J. A. McGinnis, president of the legion. Representatives from other legions of the Zone were pres-I ent from Sutton, Newmarket, Mount Albert, Aurora, Wood'brid-ge, Rich- mond Hill, North York, Squadron “C” of Queen’s York Rangers, Aur- ora; four branches from Toronto, and the Earlscourt post, Toronto. The Earlscourt legion pipe band, in full highland regalia was present, and the North Toronto Salvation Army Band rendered hy‘mns and accom- paniments for the service. The en- tire ceremony was spoctacular and the music afforded great pleasure for everyone. The salute was taken Thanks are profel‘red to Mr. Dowe of the Geo. P. Dowe Co., for the use of his hydro, power and cement mix- er when the footings were poured. by Mafor Norman F. Johnson, Aur- ora and Zone Commander ‘H. A. Phelps, Richmond Hill. Trum-peters were Donald Watson, Gordon Lee and Douglas Wells of' Aurora. Padre E. G. Worrall gave his last address to the Zone, and was assist- ed by Major H. Chapman, Toronto, and Rev. M. R. Jenkinsn of King. Rev. Worrall spoke of the Divin- ity of a drumhcad service, and the place as Holy ground. Like Moses, who commissioned his people to put off their shoes, lest the ground on which they stood become contamin- ated from their unclean contact, so the Padre commissioned comrades to cast from mind and heart all un< clean motives or schemes, and go forth clean and sanctified, With a mind firm in fwrpose, to give service and to minister to others. Leaving for a new parish in New York State, the message bore a special challenge to the branch of his choice, King leâ€" gion, whose integrity and standard the Padre holds dear.
