MEETING IM MASTERTON. VISIT TO DISTRICT PRESIDENT. There was a very good attendance of members of the W.C.T.U., Masterton, on Thursday to meet Mrs Sired, District President (Wellington). Miss Tankersley welcomed members of other unions and organisations and friends. Mrs Jansen led the devotion reading, the 46th Psalm. Miss Tankersley reported on the meeting of women’s organisations held recently and which was well attended. She read the resolution passed concerning social problems. ■ Miss Jackson supplied the temperance fact as follows: —“The Christian conscience has to be aroused, not merely to the enormity of the liquor traffic, but to the enormity of the sin of doing nothing about the liquor traffic.”—J. G. Woolley. Mrs Sired addressed the meeting, stressing the urgency of the petition now in circulation throughout New Zealand. “This work is in the front line of defence,” she said, “and called for courage and faith that we fail not in our great task for God, home and humanity." ’ Afternoon tea was handed round. The meeting terminated with the singing of the Temperance Doxology and the pronouncing of the benediction by Mrs Sired.
