Suppose your glasses are broken--have you another pair to take their place until they are repaired, or must you go without them and suffer annoyance and headaches ? Is it worth while to suffer even for one minute? If you will consider it carefully you will readily readily see the necessity of having two pairs of glasses.

CONVENTION (Continued from first page) "The Business side of Auxiliary Work" by Mrs. O. W. Turner of Camp- bellford, afforded an opportunity for many practical suggestions to Treasurers. Treasurers. She made interesting' adry subject. . . * "The ^Spiritual Side of Auxiliary Work" by Mrs. J. W. Hager, Centre- ville. The spiritual side must permeate permeate all the work. Prayer is a part of service in which all can engage-- there is just one qualification, faith. A truer patriotism would demand an interest in missions. Robert Speer says "Every soldier falling on the European battlefield is a challengé to every follower of Jesus Christ to see what sacrifice he can make." The training of the young people is a task' angels might covet, and it is the greatest greatest honor that can come to their lives if they are called to front lines jot foreign foreign work. Mission Band Conference--"The Aim of the Mission Band" wbs discussed by Mrs. H. J. Thompson, Whitby. The greatest need is not for money, but for men and women who are interested interested and informed, and who can lead. The Band is the rock upon which future Auxiliary work depends, and it must not weaken. Put "first things first--they snould have a desire to help materially before raising funds. Mrs. J. H. Allan, Newburgh, gave an original, witty and instructive address address on "Mission Band Methods". Mrs. Allan has charge of an energetic willing Band at Wesley, and her success success in the midst of so many handicaps and discouragements is most commendable. commendable. This session was closed by the Sacrament Sacrament of the Lord's Supper administered administered by Rev. H. B. Neal assisted by Rev. G. Brown and Rev. E. A. Tonkin. At 7 p.m. the gentlemen took the visitors for an auto trip about town- which they thoroly enjoyed. Wednesday evening the chair was taken by Rev. Geo. Brown, Hampton. The church choir rendered splendidly the anthem "Break Forth" under the able leadership of Prof. C. C. Laugher. The chairman's remarks were brief, but good, being full of praise for the loyalty of the women to the missionary missionary cause. A solo by Mrs. C. A. Cawker "Abide With Me" was very nicely sung and thoroly enjoyed. The Superintendent of Christian Stewardship, Mrs. (Rev.) J. G. Lewis, Pontypool, presented her report. The speaker said the same energy and purpose purpose should be devoted to religion as one does to his or her secular business. It is absurd to think of a prosperous church with poor business methods. Christian stewardship has been termed true consecration in working clothes. The Convention was greatly honored in having present Mrs. W. E. Ross, Hamilton, President of the Board of Managers, who gave a very excellent address. The old question "Who is on the Lord's Side ?" is being asked today, not only of individuals, but of nations. The _ Women's Missionary Society is preparing the way of the Lord as her representatives come in contact with these foreigners and live out before them the principles of Christianity. We pray "Thy Kingdom Come", but our real prayer is the dominant desire in our hearts, whether it is good or evil. Mrs. Ross spoke of the possibilities possibilities open to women by the use of the franchise, and referred to it as a wonderful wonderful opportunity to educate public opinion along the lines of highest service service to God and man. The speaker closed by saying we should be as loyal to the Master if he asks for our daughters daughters as we were to our earthly .king with our sons. Miss Ethel L. Van Nest sang a solo very nicely "I Do Not Ask" by Charles Spross, with violin obligato by Prof. Laugher, Miss Mayme Shaw presiding at the piano. Another musical selection equally enjoyed was a quartette by Ebenezer "adies--Mrs. George F. Annis, Mrs. A. Rundle, Mrs. W. R. Courtice and Miss Alma Courtice--with Miss Muriel Penfound as accompanist. The meeting closed with Doxology. Devotional exercises Thursday morning morning were in charge of Mrs. J. W.
