LEAGUE OF MOTHERS MONTHLY MEETING. Mrs R. H. Every presided over a good attendance of members and friends at the monthly meeting of the League of Mothers held in St And-rew's-Hall yesterday afternoon. ,A -motion of sympathy was passed with the relatives of the late Mrs Edmonds. The president expressed regret that owing to adverse weather conditions, Mrs E. N. Merrington, of Wellington, who was to have addressed the gathering. was unable to make the journey. An interesting article on the history of ‘-There’ll Always be an England,” was read by Mrs Every. A most appropriate conclusion to this reading was provided by Mrs V. Robinson singing this popular song, members joining in the chorus. Members appreciated the reading from an English journal of various incidents, depicting how the effects of this war had changed many people's outlook on life, developing a bond of kindliness, helpfulness, thoughtfulness and unity between all classes. The secretary outlined the objects of the Women's War Service Auxiliary. and members took the opportunity of filling in registration cards. Mrs Wells informed members that the lectures to be given to Plunket Aids by the local nurse would commence on Friday, June 27. Mrs V. Robinson gave the thought: "We should give as we would receive. cheerfully, quickly and without hesitation. For there is no grace in a benefit that sticks to the fingers.” Two numbers were given by the League Choir under the baton of Miss D. Armstrong, with Mrs F. Bath as accompaniste.
