Apathy on our part leaves them in doubt about the warmth of our feeling toward © them." She mentioned many outstanding women of letters in France, Aus- tria, Poland and Holland who ren- dered brilliant service during the | years of war and occupation and who are still using their influence | in read a letter from a French woman indicating the joy that a parcel | After expressing thanks brought. the letter continued: "I have a very tired heart and I am not able to look after myself, so I am letting myself be cared for by my two sisters who don't know what to do to make me forget the bad times. I had the pieasure, lasc Sunday of receiving the visit of a very kind Canadian whom my war organization had helped to escape | from St. Denis prisun whete i.e Germans had imprisoned all the Canadians at the peginning of ine occupation, and I told him how the friendship of Canada manifest it- | self towards France..." Miss McEwen spoke of the his- | tory of the International Federa- tion of University Women which sprang from a meeting iu Luauoi in 1919 of the University Associa- « tions of Great Britain and the Un- ited States. The next year Canada i joined the invernalillidi Olsatlicu= tion having united her various uni- versity clubs. * An international scholarship was instigated in 1924 to which Presi- : dent Jan Masaryk of Czech-Slova- kia and the explorer Amundsen, | among others, contributed hand- somely, International meeting places and residential halls have been estab- lished for university women, per- haps the best known being Reid Hall in Paris ana Crosby Hall in London, which was formally open- ed by Her Majesty Queen Mary in © 1927. During the last war Crosby Hall was used by the Royal Navy. Miss McEwen said that she had stayed at Crosby Hall several times and always found it an inspiring place through contact with the students of widely different na- tionalities who were in residence there, including quite a number of Indians. There is .also a club house in , Washington and three halls in Can- : ada, while Belgium offers club fa- cilities at the Cite Estudienne de Universite de Bruxelles. In the absence of Mrs. H. P. Hart, Mrs, R. E. Richardson presided, and a report was given on the pro- gives of the sale of tickets for the 'atsy Parr piano recital to be held on Monday, November 20 in the O.C.V.I. auditorium.

The president, Mrs. Kelly De Gray presided and the secretary's report was read by, Mrs. Thomas Leveque and the tréasurer's report by Miss Bert Robinson.

Church's Struggle In Far East Revealed To Knox W.MS. "The Church still lives as a wit- ness in the midst of the revolution and eruption of Asia." declared Miss Laura K. Pelton who was the guest speaker at the Thankoffering meeting of the Women's Missionary Society of Knox Presbyterian Church on Wednesday evening. Miss Pelton, who was introduced by Mrs. A. W. Smith, is the execu- tive secretary for overseas missions of the Presbyterian Church in Ca- nada, and has recently returned from a six-month visit to the Pres- byterian mission fields in the Ori- ent. g "Although some are of the opin- fon that the missionary effort in Asia should be written off owing to the desperate situation and ine security among Its people the in- fluénce of the church there is much greater than would be expected and even among the non-chris- | tians there is outspoken respect for | its representatives," she said. | ""In India, in spite of financial difficulties and with its millions of | illiterates, low castes and outcasts, the church is set in a- great com- pany of non-christians but the | missionaries and teachers are still | carrying on in an endeavour to lift | the level of the standard of life. | This has not been easy. In 1925 the field was divided following un- jon and every Institution was tak- | en from the Presbyterians who had | to start from scratch, The amount of work that has been accomplish- ed during the last 25 years cannot | be over-estimated. In the midst of | the insecurity and anxiety that India has known, the workers are visiting in the homes and holding | meetings, telling of the Gospel teaching the people to read the Bible and standing as witnesses to those who know nothing of Christ. In visiting Formosa, the speaker continued, it was noticed that a different situation was apparent. The Presbyterian Church witnesses over the whole Island. Unlike In- dia, the people are literate and there is not the extreme poverty. Formosa is wide open today to the teaching of the Gospel, the church- es are filled and the day is antici- pated when the General Assemb- ly of the Presbyterian Church will be held there, : The situation for the Kareans in Japan, although their churches have been scattered, is not dis- couraging, she said. It is felt that Japan must rehabilitate the church before others break in on its inse- curity, A small christian group there feels a sense of responsibil- ity and is seeking for something to give meaning to life. "There is nothing to stop the Presbyterian Church in Japan if it has the will to do it," she observed. In closing Miss Pelton urged up- on thé members of the W.M.S. to accept the call of the Presbyterian Church to match the need of its hour overseas with more personnel increased giving and intelligent prayer, . A vote of thanks to the speaker was proposed by Mrs. C. J. McLen- nan. Mrs. James Cormack, president, presided and welcomed those who were present from the Missionary Societies of Ashburn, Myrtle, Bow- manville, Whitby and Brooklin. The Scrinture was read by Mrs. J. A. Swindells and the Rev. H. F. i Davidson offered prayer. Mrs. W. C. WESTON'S Famous Quality Christmas Cakes and Puddings! JOIN OUR CHRISTMAS PLAN Ask the Weston mas tickets.

Silver Cross Women Form Chapter Here A charter meeting "was held in Adelaide House on Tuesday with the purpose of forming an Oshawa Chapter of the Remembrance As- sociation of the Silver Cross W men of Canada. The meeting was well attended and Whitby and Ajax were represented. The guest speaker was Mrs, W. H. Jacobs, Toronto, national presi- dent of the association, who was introduced by Mrs. F. M. Buchanan of Oshawa. Mrs. Jacobs outlined the work of the chapter which consists of help- ing the returned veterans, where possible, and helping to take care of the dependents of those who did not return, such as seeing that their children received an adequate education, and in matters of health, As examples she spoke of a child needing an eye operation which the mother could not afford and of an- other needing transportation to a clinic and money for a proper diet and a special bed. Things like these the chapter could look into and take care of alone, she said, but large projects should be taken be- fore the national council. Pensions for mothers in need was a project that the speaker had al ready taken to Ottawa and which had received great consideration by the Honorable Milton Gregg. Mrs, Jacobs stressed the fact that i members must work together at 11 times and live up to their ob- jective, She then asked the women to repeat their pledge in unison and installed the officers as fol- lows: / President, Mrs. V.
