Convention 'The regular meeting of St. Stephens Women's Auxiliary, was held Thurs- day afternoon last at the home of Mrs. W. C. King, with a good number in attendance. Work of the afternoon was piecing a suilt -for the Deanery Bale, after which the devotional period was pre- sided over by, the president, Mrs. Holmes, who led in members prayer and Lord's prayer in unison. Roll Call was answered by verses or thoughts onn "Prayer" and St. Matt, 6th chap., verses 1 - 15 were read by Mrs. Cald- well. The delegates' appointed to at- tend the annual W. A, Convention in London on May 4th and 5th are — Mrs. Holmes and Mrs. Geo. King. A paper on the thenie, "Prayer" was very ably prepared and given by Mrs. Geo. King, which made a deep sig- nificance in the hearts of all present. People do not always get what they pray for, because often they cannot get in close communion with God (which is the real meaning of prayer). Often too, their thoughts are far away when their lips form the words in a half-hearted manner and it is only when they are in trouble they try to turn to God. God is always ready to hear and answer petitions which are for our own good. Mrs. N. Wade read a poem—"We 'must Unite." She also said that in the Island of Malta they have set aside a particular time each day for prayer. Mrs. Armstrong read a poem "Easter Joys".
