been held.

In former years, books were procured from the lending Library, Charlottetown, and read at our meetings, but for the last few years, we have had a uniform Study Book, Mrs. Arthur Inman being our leader.

On looking back over the years which have passed since our or— ganization, We remember many faithful members, who laboured with us in days gone by, and have since passed to their Eternal reward :— Mrs. Robert Rogerson, Mrs. Crisp Moore, Mrs. William MacDonald, Mrs. Robert Moore, Mrs. W. D. Sherren, Mrs. David Sherren, Mrs. Samuel Sherren, 'Mrs. W. H. Inman, Miss Fannie Rogerson, Mrs. C. E. Lowther, and others. May their lives be an inspiration to us to go forward, ever bearingin. mind our motto :—- “The love of Christ constraineth us.” .
