 PROVINCIAL AKCr.IVES OF B. C. 
 
THE CHILDREN'S WARD. 
 
 By the Secretary of the Woman's Auxiliary. 
 
 The need of a Children's Ward at the Provincial Royal 
 Jubilee Hospital his long been before the Public, and the Societies 
 interested in the Hospiial have held a fund in this behalf for 
 several years. This fund is about complete and the Directors 
 of the Hospital have promised to take the erection of the Ward 
 under immediate consideration. 
 
 To assist this project the members of the Woman 's Auxiliary 
 and the Daughters of Pity have accepted an ofiFer to take part 
 in this Kirmess, one half of the net proceeds of which is to be 
 devoted towards the furnishings and fittings necessary for the 
 thorough equipment of the Children's Ward when completed. 
 
 The Hospital has many faithful friends among the men and 
 women of Victoria who hope to be rewarded for j'ears of patient 
 care on its behalf by seeing it stand — fully equipped, with its 
 pr .vision for maternity work and its ward for little cues — the 
 glory of each citizen who has chosen it to be, not only the living 
 monument of his personal thanksgiving, of his loyal citizenship 
 and of his brotherly love ; but also the perpetual memorial of 
 that most great and dear Queen and woman whose name remains 
 identified forever with every work of human goodness. 
 
 It remains only to ask that Public, whom we know collec- 
 tively as our perpetual friend, to support the present eflFort. If 
 it may .seem to some that we ask too much or too often, let it be 
 remembered that the large band of Hospital Workers who have 
 waited for years for complete results are only still asking that 
 these may be given them. 
 
 It may seem a great deal to ask, but when women have loved 
 and worked — slowly, even sometimes, painfully — with one faith- 
 ful purpo.se for a long period they gain the assurance that it is 
 not merely " our " possible but "God's" which " is gained by His 
 world's loving," and they know that ' 'God's possible " leaves 
 nothing to be desired ! 
 
Metroviolitan Methodist Church, Victoria B. C. 
 
 This church, for beauty of architecture and size, ranks 
 among the finest church edifices in Canada. The ladies of the 
 congregation decided to contribute a sum to a special fund in- 
 tended to reduce the annual charges of the church and also to 
 make a donafon, through the Woman's Auxiliary of the Hospi- 
 tal, to the proposed Children's Ward. Infurtherance of these 
 objects they have promoted the Kirmess, the nett proceeds of 
 which will be divided equally between the funds named. The 
 work of the Kirmess also will be shared by members of the Aux 
 iliary and the Daughters of Pity, and by ladies and gentlemen 
 not connected with either of the institutions it is intended to 
 assist. 
 
 This will be the Market Hall's last appearance in the present role. It 
 « il shortly be turned into a railway depot. Ask the gypsy fottune teller 
 if she knows when that will be.

 KIRMESS? 
 
 The KIRMESS, or Church Fair, derives its name from the 
 old word Kirchmesse, meaning "Church-ale," referring to that 
 portion of the brew given as a tithe to the churches. The word 
 was later used to signify a " gift ' ' and was so applied to any fes- 
 tivity, bazaar or entertainment which gave pleasure to the popu- 
 lace. Still later it was used to designate a <5'. id festival, 
 which expressed by song and dance the joy of man vil- 
 
 lagers at the completion of a church edifice. 
 
 Puritan America, ever ready to organize new charities and 
 ;>reserve the old, has revived and idealized the purest and most 
 graceful features of the festivals of the middle ages and uses its 
 merry-making for the accomplishment of good.
