EXETER DISTRICT
W.M.S. 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. She would
have us ,remember that ours is a
spiritual organization that has for
its great object the financing of for-
ces that make for the enlightenment
the education and the evangelizing
