Mrs. M. "er provided much
ood for thought when the Angli-
:a,n Church Women of St. P,aul's
net at the home of Mrs. W.
r1•errch for their September get-
together. -
Mrs. Miller spoke on the topic,
'How to Listen To a Sermon",
stressing the fact that 'sermons
are delivered in church on Sun-
day so they can be delivered to
the world on Monday'. She said
millions of people assemble
every Sunday to hear sermons on
how to make themselves and the
entire human race more Chris-
tian. "But", she added, "real
worship is hard work and we
have to concentrate. Good listen-
ing makes good preaching and
one only gets back what one
gives."
The first vice-president, Mrs.
W. Austin, presided over the
meetingand led in the opening
prayers. Mrs. T. Metcalfe and
Mrs. W. Connell read scripture
lessons.
Cards were signed for the sick
and shut-in. Mrs. D. Farnell con-
ducted the service for the Least
Coin and Mrs. H. King gave the
treasurer's report. Mrs. Farnell
reported an ACW Fall Deanery to
be held in Durham October 12.
She also passed on a rdquest from
Moses Anges, the ACW's 'bale
partner', for more clothing. Re-
quests for church calendars were
listed and Mrs. V. Coates re-
ported that she had received a
letter from the former organist of
St. Paul's, Mrs. D. Richardson.
After a discuss'on iris the fight-
ing in Ireland ill which women
are now using their efforts for
peace, Mrs. Connell led in a
prayer that their endeavors for
peace might be successful.
Mrs. Austin pronounced' the
benediction and lunch was served
by the hostess and her assistants.
The October meeting will be
held at the home of Mrs. J. Kerr.
