AN ARDENT WORKER

TRIBUTES TO LATE MISS REYNOLDS. WELFARE LEAGUE’S REGRET. At yesterday’s meeting of the Women’s National. Welfare League reference was made by the President, Miss Kummer, to the loss sustained by the league in the death of Miss L. Reynolds. The members stood in silence as a mark of respect for their late coworker. The last act almost of this ardent worker was to collect and send three sacks of old linen and baby clothes to the war area of China. Mrs H. E. Pither expressed her deep appreciation of the services the late Miss Reynolds had rendered the League, the members of which deeply regretted her death. Her work had been of a particularly valuable character, continued during the whole of the time the League had been in existence. The example set by Miss Reynolds was worthy of emulation by every member of the League—quiet service given freely in a good cause. Wherever there was need for assistance there was to be found Miss Reynolds taking an active part and doing her work with a determination that the effort should be successful, and that those in distress or in need should have practical sympathy displayed towards them. Masterton had been made a better place by Miss Reynolds’ residence in it and her death was a distinct loss to the community.

Mrs S. Munn spoke in a similar strain.
