at st. Andrews Cathedral yesterday

wilt we. have me to do.

where the business meeting was at once
opened with Bishop Restarick presid

with us our vice president, Miss Castle,

who, for the past two years, have been
absent in Europe.

To Purchase Home.
The bishop then spoke of his great
ambition and hope of purchasing the
Morgan home on the corner of Emma
street and Emma Square as a home for
girls who have graduated from st. An
drew's Priory and who are earning
their own living. Many of these girls
are without responsible guardians and
need and wish for the protection of
home. At present such girls are given
home at the Priory but occupy rooms
which should be open to the use of
school children and for this reason it is
necessary that home should be pro-
vided for them. The bishop already has
the promise of several gifts which form
a substantial nucleus for the purchase
of this property.
A Fitting Offering;
1t was suggested that as next year
would be the jubilee of the establish.
ment of the church in those Islands,
the purchase and establishment of this
home would be fitting thank. offering
for the great privileges which the
church has opened up to all its mem
bers.
"We had the great pleasure of hav-
ing with us Mrs. Theodore Richards.
who came not only as representative
of the board of missions of the Cen
trail Union Church but also to extend
to us an invitation to attend their for.
tieth anniversary which win take place
next Tuesday week. She spoke briefly
of their work and how united we are
in the work of spreading the gospel of
Christ"
