LEAGUE OF MOTHERS

MEETING IN MASTERTON

NEW MEMBERS ENROLLED.

AN INSPIRING ADDRESS. Mrs E. J. Rich presided over a very large attendance at the meeting of the League of Mothers held in the Methodist Hall, Masterton, yesterday afternoon. , After welcoming those present Mrs Rich apologised for the absence of the president, Mrs L. B. Maunsell, through illness, and a motion of sympathy and of good wishes for her speedy recovery was passed. Members stood in silence for a few moments as an expression of sympathy with Mrs H. Yates, who recently suffered bereavement. A short admission service was held, when five new members were enrolled. Members were reminded that cakes to be forwarded to the Mission to Seamen, Wellington, should be left at Mr Jenkins’s garage on the first Thursday in October. The choir rendered two items, and Mrs Baillie two solos. . Mrs Higgs, of Featherston, was the speaker for the meeting and held the interest of all with her talk on “Psychology.” After briefly explaining the workings of the mind, Mrs Higgs dealt chiefly with “happiness,” showing that love and service were the keys, and that it was not what we got out of life but what we put in that counter. God should be the centre of our life and if He were not in His correct place, the whole of life must be one of fear.

Mrs Rich thanked Mrs Higgs for her inspiring address and members warmly applauded her. The tea hostesses were Mesdames Traynor, A. O. Jones, A. Corskie, G. Wagg and C. H. McKenzie.
