CHURCH ACTIVITIES

LADIES’ GUILD MEETS The monthly meeting of the First Presbyterian Church, Frankton, Ladies’ Guild was held, in the church hall recently when the president, Mrs C. L. French, presided. The meeting was opened with devotions conducted by the Rev. C. L. French, who briefly addressed the women on the church rally month and invited their earnest co-opera-tion. The treasurer, Mrs G. Elliott, submitted the financial statement in connection with the autumn fair. Of the satisfactory result of £2O, the guild voted £lO towards the church organ repair fund. It was decided to cooperate with other organisations of the church in arranging a summer flower show. During the afternoon very enjoyable solos were sung by Mrs McGregor, accompanied by Mrs French, and an entertaining competition arranged by Mrs Wells was won by Miss M. Barlow. MISSIONARY MEETING The First Church branch of the Presbyterian Women’s Missionary Union held its monthly meeting in the church on Thursday afternoon, when Mrs J. Allen presided in the absence of Mrs L. Woods, the president. Mrs Allan conducted devotions after which Mrs French reported on the P.A. quarterly meeting. The president, on account of a change of residence, found it necessary to tender her resignation which was received with regret. The branch decided to*place on record its appreciation of the faithful services of Mrs Woods over a period of years. It was reported that the Busy Bees were meeting under the leadership of Mesdames J. Allan, C. F. Allan and Elliott. The branch resolved to invite a visiting speaker to the next meeting with a view to stimulating interest in the missionary activities of the church. The treasurer announced the receipt of two donations totalling £7 for which gratitude was expressed. At the conclusion of the meeting those present adjourned to the hall : for afternoon tea.
