A. also did a large work in the Canadian eld. The salaries of 32 missionaries are paid and grants made to hospitals and schools. Therehave been in the past grants from the `English societies who were to have stopped `giving this year but have agreed to continue for a fur- ther 5 years. Inthe Diocese ofAAl- goma "these grants have been with- drawn. An endeavor was therefore being made to increase the Susten- ation_ Fund "of the Algdma Diocese in order to provide an income that will make up7for the loss of the English grants. a " - t Junnvvv uuvbx llbllbULU1|4IIa .

A ' II `I 1 n uh Illlb Lxulllao Then there was the question of giving, what to give, how to give, and to what to give. What does the W. A. do with the money given it! There were many branches to the work. Members must look away ` beyond the Work of My Branch and keep before them the whole work the W. A. had made itself re- sponsible _for. The W.

Since the addition of `Java. LLIULIJ teach us much. this clause there has been` a notice- able increase in the number of offers for service in the mission eld. She then went on to point out the duties of members which were first and foremost, prayer for missionaries. Then there was the need for know- ledsre and in Toronto there was a well-stocked library for the use of all the branches, to be procured sim- ply by writing and asking for books.

Mrs. Rae was introduced by Rev. H. D. Raymond and was afterwords thanked on behalf of the members present by Rev. E. B. Taylor of Al- landale, who said the rectors dc- pended upon the W. A. as the inner circle of parish workers. It was almost 2000 years since the first re- cruits were asked` to do service for the Master. Two years ago a call came for recruits for another war and they sprang forth from all parts of the earth. If the same enthus- iasm had been evinced in the Mas- ter s service there would have been no war.

The E.C.D.,` or Extra Cent-21-Day Fund is the pocket money of the W. A.

This fund provides for `emergency calls from mission parishes. It used to amount to $25 a month but now, runs from $300 to $400 avmonth.

In fact all over, the country people are working hard. Our wool distributors deserve the highest praise. - In Allandale, Mrs. Cannon, Mrs. Cameron, Mrs. Holmes, Mrs. Webb and Mrs. Rey- nolds havebeen most faithful. In Barrie .Miss Ross has given out an immense amount of wool in St. An- drew s, where the knitters havebeen most diligent. Mrs. Noble, Mrs. Turner `and Mrs. Marshall have done splendid work in Central Methodist. We have to thank Miss Scott, not only .for giving out wool but for c_on- stantly looking after parcels left in her charge. Mrs. Carley, Mrs. Red- -enhurst, Miss Powell, Mrs. Plum- mer and Miss Spry have been most successful in getting out wool. Mrs. Redditt generously gave us a knit- ting machine, Mrs. Morton usingfit, and Mrs. Lett and Miss Craig have helped us most materially knitting Mrs. Hunt s faithful A _ In her 90th `year she is iknitting. steadily.
