Trlllty llllted '0IIrci Vloners Auxiliary Meeting

The Afternoon Auxiliary of the W.M.S. of Trinity United Church. Charlottetown. met on Thursday. Feb. 1 in the Social !-Iali.- The president. Mrs. G. M. Avud. ex- pressed her pleasure on seeing such a. good gathering, notwith- standing the inclement, weather.

The worship period. in charge of Mrs. H. E. D. Aahford. opened by singing hymn 500, "Take Time To Be I-loly." followed by the read- in-g of the beautiful 21st chapter of Revelations. Mrs. Anhford took for her meditation the Biography of Florence Nightingale, and her theme "Difficulty in Getting Start- ed". Florence Nightingale was 17 years of age when she heard the definite call from God to become a nurse and thus lead the way for many Ohrlstian nurses to train.

At that time the work was a very degraded one and her wealthy parents were strongly op- posed to her wish. She was 31 years of age before she finally suc- ceeded in gaining her parents con- sent nnd over come "lite difficulty in getting started." From this theme, Mrs. Aztbfcrd said we should all, especially as we grow older. learn the lesson-never to say "no" to youth. before thinking their .proposition.s over very seriously, from every angle - their an-gie. our own angle and God's angle.

She closed her very interesting talk with prayer, in which she asked God's comforting bleslng on our own missionary. Miss Beryl Mot-son. so far away from other m Ibers of her family, who to- day, were mourning the loss of their mother. Three verses of hymn 280. "Dear Lord and Father of Mankind" were sung.

Mrs. Avard. before opening the tbuslnus period, also spoke very feelingly oi the Society's loss. in the passing of Mrs. Stuart Mor- son to higher service. Mrs. ,Mor- son was a. life member and for some time Community Friendship Secretary. All stood for a mut- ute's silence in her memory, foi- lowln-g wthich Mrs. Avard read the hymn "We Cannot Think of Them as Dead."

Mrs. A. 13. Baghall, Recording Secretary. and Miss Jessie Gillls, Treasurer. gave their reports for the month of January.

Mrs. Windsor, Community Friendship Secretary. reported for her committee. 143 visits to -homes and hospitals.

The Christian Citizenship Secre- tary. Mrs. L. E. Bustln. read I very interesting excerpt, "Welcome to New Canadians in the old port of Halifax", written by Mrs. Archi- Ibald. Sunpt. for N3. It described

The warmth of friendship could not be expressed in words that was thus brought to these "Displaced Persons" on their arrival in Canada. Many re- quests were heard for copies 6! God's word. Is not this work a good illustration of international races in action?

' Mrs. Bustin quoted from Dr. Grenieil as saying. "not. until we can love all races. all so called nationalities, as Christ loved them. are we on the road to peace on earth"

Mrs. 11. E. Mutch gave I short synopsis of the lat chapter of "The United Church Re-enters Japan.”

Mrs. Avard welcomed three new members. Mrs. S. C. Wright, Mrs. J. M. Burgess and Mrs. Winston Churchill and expressed the hope that during 1951 we would have many ladies join our Auxiliary.
