The Shrove Tuesday supper has gained in popularity over the years. Last year the at- tendance was far above what was anticipated, and the wo- men were faced with a short- age of supplies. This year they were well prepared. They started serving at 5:30 and were able to seat everyone as they arrived, with no waiting. The men helped as is their custom, by cooking the pan- cakes.

Hot Cross Buns have been one of the most widely accept- ed symbols of the Easter Sea- son for many centuries. The first Hot Cross Buns of Christian times appeared in 1250 A. D. Yet, ancient records reveal that the Egyptians baked buns once a year with the sign of the cross on them. They be- lieved the buns kept evil spirits and poor health away. In later years, another custom developed. A Ilot Cross Bun was hung on the chimney- piece and left there all year. It was reputed to keep evil spirits from coining down the chimney and spoiling the bak- ing. Her message was centred around the theme for the day, "Mote than Conquerors." Be- cause missionaries of the Cross have carried the Gospel story to many lands, women all around the world are joining in Christian fellowship through this World Day of Prayer Ser- vice. The power and import- ance of prayer, and the need for prayer in all our lives can- not be over-estimated. Our children should be taught to pray the childlike prayer of faith, and to offer grace before meals. "God will not forget us;, let us not forget Him." In closing, Mrs. Ahara spoke of Christ's request of His disciples to watch and pray. "Could ye not watch with Me one hour?" He said. Let us pray that right will prevail, and that we shall be "more than conquerors through Him that loved us." In the afternoon, Mrs. Henry Jensen was in charge of the call to worship and the closing exer- cises; Mrs. Frank Collar led in a period of prayer and concern for those throughout the world, who are being called upon to suffer for their faith; Mrs. W. J. Roulston conducted a service of confession and assurance; Mrs. W. Murchison led in an act of dedication; Mrs. Anna McNevin directed a time of intercession during which pray- ers were offered by Mrs. C. F. Johnson, Mrs. Bruce MacLean, Mrs. D, S, MacNaughton, Mrs. E. Keith, Mrs. E. Finley, Mrs. N. T. McLaughlin. In the evening, the leaders were Mrs. Herbert Fuller, Mrs. Roy Burchill, Mrs. Murray Mac- Lennan, Mrs. John Day, Miss Mary Lee Hollenbeck.
