HUMAN WELFARE
The tone, spirit; views, and coustruc(ive suggestions put forward by the lvev. Prank H. Wilkinson's letter must command not only respect and serious attention, but, more important still, active ntid vigorous support, which I for one gladly offer (writes "Brother Skeeper"), who gives particulars of the case of a married man who has been out of work more than four years—latest spell over two years. What super-stoicism must be demanded in such a:one, who cannot be unconscious of rapidly receding prospects How can such continue to hold on apart from Divine aid: aud how can Providence function without human co-operation? It is more than high time that we alrrefltised that, for very niany of our worthy brothers and their families, the position is really appallingly desperate* and mu«t be promptly rectified, lest worse befall. In order to get going, will Mr. Wilkinson continue for the time being, to lead and develop his splendid suggestion of a^ mixed conference? As always happens in real emergencies; men of good will cannot fail to answer the imperative call •with, "Here am I, use me."
The death is reported by a Press Association message from Auckland of the ttev. D. I). Rodger, Presbyterian minister, at tlie figc of 78 years.
