Russel Maltby, D.D,, of the British Wesleyan Con- ference, was in Ontario a 'few weeks ago, he said that in the pre- sent generation the churches were unlikely: to secure the services of the best qualified university women for any position unless first of all the minstry were opened to them. It is along thds line that the third anbual conferenec of Women Min- isters, held at Oxford recently, held 'a meeting in the hall of Someryille College, the audience being largely composed of women students, Rev, Constance M.

Nearly 20-ministers were pre- sent, some Baptist, some Congre- gationalists and some Unitarians, Speaking on the practical work of the ministry, Rev Violet Hedger said the woman minister really scored in dealing with the women of the chureh, altho she had to have a point of contact with all ages-- with boys and girls, men and wo- men, Most women were priestesses all their days--naturally so. Rev. Joyce Daplyn described her own "call" to the ministry, and said: "Every day of 'my ministry means more to me. I never images ined a career that would be so abso~ lutely satisfying, so immortally, eternally satisfying. I believe the future of the church depends on its getting the best women as well as the best men, Of course, if you go into the ministry you must be pre- pared fer difficulties--loneliness, prejudice, lack of money, But | don't think the ministry would be a profession worth having if there were no great diffizulties."

Always very ably edited, it exercises considerable influence, Traditionally Broad Church, The Guardian, "the Church Newspaper," after passing successfully through vicissitudes and editorial changes, now appears as a substantial six penny weekly, The Church of Eng- land Newspaper well maintains its position as a family journal, and takes a moderate or "central" posi- tion on theological and ccclesiastical questions, = The Record, which re- cently celebrated its centenary, ad- mirably represents '+ the evangelical portion of the Church of England.
