"MOTHER'S DAY."

AT THE Y.M.C.A

Everybody is curious to know wlat "Mother's Day" means at the Y.M.C.A. The idea certainly is new to the Maaterton Association, and to the Colonial Associations - generally. The movement has caught on in America, and usually the third Sunday m July is set apart 'or the observance of "Mother's Day" On Sunday next the members of the local Association have.bean invited to bring "mother" with them, when Dr. Helen Cowie and Mr J. McGregor, senr., will represent the local speakers; whilst Colonel Knight has wired to the secretary to &*y that he will be pleased to speak also. It is not often we have the privhe je of having the chief representative of the Salvation Army in the North Island with us, so that the time should be well spent between the hours of 5 p.in., when tea will be served in the new gymnasium, and 6.45 p.m. Mrs Blackman, the President of the Y.M.C.A. Ladies' Auxiliary, ia to preside, whilst special musics is being arranged for, with Mr J. Gray as soloist. The men have been requested to wear a white buttonhole in honour of mother. The whole gathering will tend to do honour to "mother." Sunday will be an opportune time to see the new gymnasium—its completion internally having been promised for Saturday—and the Y,M.U.A. Board of Management extend an open invitation to all men and mothers for that day.
