There was a' large attendance of members of the League of Mothers at the local Methodist Church yesterday, when the Rev. J.. t A. Daglish delivered an inspiring sermon, choosing as his text St. John 19, verses 25 and 26. He compared the grief and helplessness of Mary Magdalene when Christ was on the Cross and the message Jesus gave her with the position in which so many women were placed today, when their sons and husbands set out for distant lands with the attendant sufferings and dangers. However, in his opinion, there were wonderful opportunities awaiting all mothers to assist in building that new world we were all visualising. Now was the time to endeavour to stamp out drink, gambling and immorality, which unfortunately, were on the increase, so that the various countries would be better places to receive the soldiers when they returned home. After this war a spirit of forgiveness must prevail, and enmity, hatred and petty jealousies must be forgotten, otherwise wars would be perpetuated. He appealed to the mothers present to do all in their power to eradicate the existing evils, and to endeavour earnestly to bring up a good, Christian and God-fearing generation. Appropriate hymns and an anthem were sung by the church choir. Tennis Club, The Carterton courts were fully occupied on Saturday and some «f the younger players are showing good promise. - St. John Ambulance.
