gathered yesterday forenoon at the

given by Miss Evelyn White, general
secretary, before her departure. Her
subject was The Big Sister and she
began her address by telling the story
of Lillian Clarkson Vests book, Aunt
Cape's Kitchen Stove and the Girls
Around It. The story is a very at
tractive one and she ended by saying:
Taken by itself, u life is certainly
a very insignificant affair, but placed
as you happen to be placed, in the
kind OF universe which God has hap
pened to make, your life becomes of
infinite importance, for God has chosen
to work out his designs, not IN spite
of you, but through you, and where
you fail, he haults." The speaker went
on to tell of the different kinds of big
sisters and what a world of good they
can do in helping others. She said:
ut does not need to be a girl far away,
and without money, often she rooms
with you or else is your next dooI
neighbour. Perhaps she has plenty
of money and many friends, yet q
kind word spoken at the right tins
may do much good. You do not need
to do the big things for others and
you do not need to give a dozen roses
or carnations to cheer a lonely friend
Just one rose has been given to the
J. Z, w. C. "A. and when placed on tht
desk has helped to cheer 100 girls II
one day. 1t 1t not the big things thai
always count. Nothing takes the place
OF q christian love for ones fellow
beings ana no one can possess thu
highest form of friendship until theS
have come to know God" Follow.
