SUPERINTENDENTS LETTERS.

NOTABLE DAYS. Dear White Ribbon Sisters, —You are reminded that T. E. Taylor Memorial Day is on July 27th. We that where local conditions are favourable special meetings v\ ill be held, a strong appeal being made to urge our men to defend their country from foes within as well as foes without. Perhaps mass meetings after church on nearest Sunday would suit some places better, using also K.K. pledges. Where no special meeting can be held, members might post some suitable literature to men of their district. Trusting all who can will do something in memory of the brave man who fought nobly for the women of New Zealand. I remain, yours in the work, L. HARRISON, Superintendent Notable Days. P.S. —I regret not sending notice to last “White Ribbon,” but had to lay aside all outside work to nurse my son through a serious football accident. HOME MEETING DEPARTMENT. 4, Pompallier Terrace, Ponsonbv, Auckland, 12th June. 1915. To the Secretary, Dear friend, —1 have been again appointed Superintendent of Home Meetings, and would like to suggest to ouf Union the benefit gained by holding Home or Drawingroom Meetings. Every Union that reported on this Department last year stated that new members had been gained as a result. As the two great aims before us this year are “One W in One” and the “K-K. Pledge” campaigns, eould we not push both these with good advantage at Home Meetings. invite ladies who have not joined our ranks, get a good speaker to advocate these objects, and thus get pledges signed and new members added to our Unions. Have a good report to send to Convention. Yours in the work, NELLIE DEW AR, Supt. H.M.D Dear Sisters, —Two biographical sketches have recently come to hand, which are most suitable for our work.

One of Mrs Mary T. Hill Willard (Francis Willard’s mother); the other of Frances J. Barnes, especially written for Y.P. Branches of W.C.T.U., who was the first general secretary of World’s Y. Bramh of W.C.T.U. They are small paper books, and suitable for an afternoon or evening meeting. 1 will send them on to Mrs Young, Kitzherbcrt West, Palmerston, who will lend them to any Union applying for them.—Yours in the work, L. HARRISON.
