IN MEMORIAM.

The painfully sudden death cf Winnie Broad leaves a blank in the ranks oi our young members that will be most difficult to till. Though the Dunedin “V” Branch is holding no meetings, W innie as Treasurer, with a sense of her responsibility, regularly collected the annual subscriptions, and before sending in the last payment was thrown off the Taranaki express and killed. Her bereaved mother has since handed 111 the book and money, the latter has been sent to Mrs Bendely, our N.Z. Treasurer. Though absent in body, Winnie dwells in thought with those she loved. Her life was spent in unselfish deeds, ever < reating sunshine and joy in the lives of those whom she dwelt amongst, and those of us who knew her best, and loved her well, think of her not .is dead, but simply gone on before to Higher Joyous Service. Our sympathies are with her parents and family, and numerous friends in Dunedin and elsewhere.

Mr Matthew Smith, proprietor and editor of the “Waimate South rimes,” died suddenly on the morning of June 22nd. The late Mr Smith was an of-fice-bearer in the Presbyterian Church. The columns of his paper were always open to Temperance teaching, and for some years he gave half a column of space to the Women’s Christian Temperance Union. This was edited by the late Mrs Dohrmann. Mr Smith leaves a wife, who has been an invalid for the last few years, and a family of seven daughters (one married).
