OPENING MEETING 1 The League of Mothers held the jl opening meeting Of the year irv Knox Hall on Tuesday last. Mrs Sullivan presided over a good attendance of members and friends. After the business had been dealt with the audience was favoured by * A most interesting address by the ~ , Rev. M. Stewart, of Taneatua, on & the subject of "Current Affairs in j conjunction with the Prophecies.'* Mr Stewart read to his audience \ Christ's exhortation to the duty of j prayer from the Gospel of St. Luke M Chap. XI. -I He pointed out that Britain was near her darkest hour, as the war J were close about her—but_—J Britain was on her knees, not to Germany, but to her Almighty God. Centuries ago, Elizabeth had ex- 3 horted her subjects to pray to God j for deliverance from invasion by ~ the Spanish Armada. That deliverance was given—years later, the \ British nation was again called to prayer to oounteract Napoleon's designs on her land. The prayer wasanswered. During the Great War | Divine intervention again saved our nation. During the present war. Divine intervention again made pos- J sible the seemingly hopeless task of exacuating Dunkirk, and the pre- a vention of the; German invasion of August 194 Q. Mir Stewart then took "'1 his listeners to Egypt and remindeil -vj them of the prophecy of Isaiah that '[3 God would observe Jerusalem as birds of the air, and would save hera&BM by encirclement. This actually happened, when, a *9 few months again, General Wavelt. J himself a man of prayer, used the Royal A,ir Force in observations around Jerusalem and was enabled! 1 > ' ' fito prevent the plans of Graziana. -:J Mr Stewart exhorted all women to* *.g5 exhort their God in prayer and the** remedy would be forthcoming for...*| the darkest hour yet to come. , '
