CONVENTION A very representative gathering attended the twenty-eighth annual convention held May 15th. in Hensel]. Methodist church. About 300 dele- gates registered. Mrs. V. Mollard, Dist. Supt., presided. Devotional ex- ercises, conducted by Mrs. Kiteley, were inspiring and helpful. Splen- did reports were given by all the Auxiliaries, Circles and Bands, show- ing not only increased funds, blit al- so a growing Christian attitude to- wards missions. An impressive memorial service was conducted by Mrs. Hunter, who paid a loving tribute to 13 deceased aux. members, among whom was Mrs: A. M. Wilson, so well known and deeply mourned throughout the District. For twelve years she did. splendid work as Dist. Supt. and or- ganizer in Exeter Dist. She was a regular attendant at the London Conference Branch meeting and at the time of her death was Hon. Vaee Pres. ot the Branch and Hon. Supt. of Exeter Dist. These deaths were indeed a sad loss to us all. The singing of Mrs. Wilson's favorite hymn: "Will There be any Stars in my. Crown" and an appropriate pray- er brought these services to a close. The afternoon session 'opened with devotional exercises conducted by the Kirkton Aux. Mac. V. Mollard in a very capable manner gave a survey of the work done in the Dist.. She reported 24 Auxiliaries which raised $3673.56; 12. Circles which raised $945.00, and 13 Bands which. raised $561.71. The total amount. raised was $5182.31, an increase of $162.26 over last. year.
