Norfolk Street Mission Circle
Sitting - Miss Nellie Wright, Miss Ethel Willett, Miss Stannard, Mrs. John Golds
The Young People's Mission Circle was organized by the late Miss Sarah A. Smith on the 7th. of October, 1889, with a membership of fourteen young women. In its second year young men were admitted. In 1906 the membership numered forty-four. Meetings were held fortnightly and a fee of five cents was charged each fortnight. Its object was two-fold: firstly to provide clothing for children to enable them to attend Sunday School, and secondly to help foreign missions.
Shortly after its organization the Circle undertook to send flowers and Scripture text to the sick in their homes and in the hospitals. It also monthly sent Sunday School papers to missions in the North-west and British Columbia. Its motto was Mark 10: 45: "The Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister."
