Hall offered prayer. Mrs. George Howson read the Scripture which was taken from several passages in Miss Louise Dore delighted one with a lovely solo. After another hymn Mrs. Greer addressed the meeting, and gave an inspirational and challenging talk on “Stewardship.” She said there were three essentials for real Christ­ ian living: thankfulness, service, and stewardship. There are few of us who have not been given at least one talent, and it is our duty to use and develop this to the best of our ability. We are responsible for this talent, and will have to give an account of what use we have made of it. Giving is the first act of worship, and an im­ portant factor in stewardship, and here Mrs. Greer stressed that our giv­ ings should be systematic and pro­ portionate. Prayer, too, is equally important, and should be definite and unselfish. Mrs. Greer closed her fine address with a lively discussion on the subject of stewardship. Miss Bennett then turned the meet­ ing over to the President, Mrs. Chas. Lloyd, who took charge of the busi­ ness. A dainty lunch was served, and a social time was’ spent.
