MONTHLY MEETING OF THE HASTINGS W.C.T.U.

The Hastings branch of the Women 's Ghristian Temperance TTnion met for its monthly meeting on Thursday at the Wesley Hall. Sister Gladys was the speaker, and took as her subject "Ye are- the Lord's Remembrancers. " She urged members to be true to their badge and bear their witness at all times and under all circumstances as their forefathers had done. Mrs J. Wilson, who presided thanked Sister Gladys for her helpful talk and explained Why the July meeting was called "Remembrance Day." At ffrfit tho day was called "T. E. Taylor" day, and then as the. , years passed it was realised that Ms- memory would be one of many that the generations to come would hold in tender. saered remembrance, and so the name was changed. The W.C.T.U. was a great nndenominational service in which women of all ranks, raetea and colours •were working and many who' had passed to their service would inspire others yec to come to carry on the great crusade started by Frances Willard. Mesdames McArthur, Warren and Wcsterman were elected the Hastings representatives on the Central Convention .Committee which had been set up to make the arrangements for the annual Dominion Convention. The monthly reports were reeeived and afternoon tea handed round, after which the hostesses were thanked. The meeting closed with prayer. !
