"The Roman Catholic Church makes use of its women members more than we do. It has its educated and refined women in its educational institutes, and it, has other women doing the work in the kitchens, but that, too, is vital, and both are necessary. The women who prepare the meals in our institutions and do the hum-drum work are just, as valuable to the Church in the service of Christ as others are in different spheres," stated Professor Hewitson, at the Presbyterian General Assembly at Palmerston North. The death took place on Friday in Napier of Mrs Retemeyer, wife of Mr A. M. Retemeyer, secretary of the Hawke's Bay Agricultural and Pastoral Society.
