Johnstone; Vice President Mrs. James Gillespie; Secretary Mrs. W. A. Doughart and Treasurer Mrs. Jasper Bell.

In July 1912 our treasurer was struck with lightning and re- mained unconscious for some time. The same year Mrs. Alexander Cousins became a Life member in memory of her brother John MacLeod.

Our minister Rev. G. A. Sutherland invited the societies to his Summer cottage at the Cove and Rev. Clarence MacKinnon of Halifax addressed the members. French River Ladies served supper.

By 1927 there were twelve Life Members. Boxes of clothing were sent to Labrador, Trinidad and other places and each year we reached our allotment for missions.

In 1915 Rev. W. I. Green and Mrs. Green gave a report on their work in Trinidad.

Our society has always taken a great interest in the Trinidad mis- sion and have sent many gifts to Mr. Green and Elma Enman.

Dr. Florence Murray missionary to Korea has visited our so- ciety and given us an account of the work in Korea. Over the years we have sent her many parcels and money to help buy a car.

Rev. E. J. 0. Fraser had to leave the Korea mission field on account of the war and while home he was our minister for several years; this increased our interest in Korea and after he went back we sent him parcels.

Looking back over the years our records show that our average attendance has doubled since 1911 and finances increased eight fold and many have become life members.

WOMEN’S INSTITUTE

Miss Katherine James, Supervisor of Institutes addressed a group of women re organizing a Women’s Institute in Long River in 1913. Mrs. Dunbrack and Miss Helena MacDonald who were in charge in 1914 got it started. Mrs. Dunbrack’s demonstration was on pastry while Miss MacDonald gave a very interesting demonstration on millenery.

Mrs. D. M. Johnstone was appointed President and (Bessie John- ston'e) Mrs. Murdock MacLeod Secretary-Treasurer.

During World War I the Red Cross Society was formed and by 1916 supplies were badly needed so the Institute was dropped.

We made hospital supplies as well as making socks, sweaters, gloves, etc. for the soldiers and packed boxes for the boys of our own community.
