ZENANA BIBLE AND MEDICAL MISSION

The local secretary, Mr Francis Shaw, has received the following lotter from the Rev. Dr and Mrs Garter, of London, who recently visited this Dominion: “On the eve of our leaving your beautiful Dominion we desire to express our very deep sense of gratitude to you and to all those colleagues in God’s work, who have made our stay «o-pleasing: You received us’ with a warmth of welcome which will make New Zealand homes live for ever in our memory, and your co-operation in missionary service in India made an arduous task seem light. In the period from August 2nd to October 14th we travelled over two thousand miles and filled more than one hundred and sixteen engagements. The work was made smooth by the goodness of God and the fellowship of his people. We are greatly indebted to our- capable and devoted colleague. Miss ’ Dannefaerd, to the Auckland executive and to the committees in the various centres. We are greatly rejoiced to know that the executive is willing to (iaco the entire financial and other responsibilities of the station at laun»>ur, and are looking to all friends of the Z.B.M.M. to aid them in the big task. We feel certain that the prayers and efforts of faith will be successful, (n bidding farewell to colleagues whose kindness has been so striking we feel a certain sadness. ‘Till we meet again’ has more than a passing significance, and: we say ‘au revoir’ in the confident, assurance that by, His Grace we shall be friends in the Eternal Homeland and learn the jov of the united family in Qod. —With all regards, Thomas Carter and Lindsay A. Carter.”
