MISSIONS T the end of the Christmas term the girls of the school brought toys for the Indian children in Kamsack, Saskat- chewan. A large box was placed in the hall, into which books, toys, dolls, dolls' dishes, children's clothes, and trinkets were deposited. In January, the sum of twenty-five dol- lars was sent to St. Matthew's Church, which was destroyed by fire, to help in its rebuilding. This money was left over from the Mission Tea which was held last year. The Mission Tea this year was held on Saturday, the fifth of' May. The money raised from this tea each year goes partly to the Zenana Bible and Medical Mission in India, and partly to aid in the splendid work done by the Sunday School by Post in Canada. The money which goes to India helps to support a baby in the Eva L. Jones Memorial Cot at the Canada Hos- pital, to pay the salary of a teacher, and to help in the education of an Indian girl at the Mission. This year a net profit of two hundred and twenty-five dollars Calmost sixty dol- lars more than last yearj was raised at the tea, a sum of which we are all very proud. Miss I-Iasell very kindly brought her slides and in the Kindergarten gave an interest- ing talk on the work of the Sunday School by Post. We are also very grateful to Mr. M. Diamond, the father of a little boy in Grade Une, who showed moving pictures, talkies, in the Art Studio. As usual, Dalton and Matheson houses held their tea in the dining-room, while jones and Machray held theirs in the gym. Also contributing to the money raised were Mrs. Gray's character reading from hand- writing, and the home-cooking stall. VVe feel that our missionary effort this year has been a great success, and I am certain that the girls of our school in the coming years will continue to support the work of the missions in Canada and India.
