W.C.T.U. OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA.
My Dear Miss Henderson, — It is very kind of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union of New Zealand to send me their congratulations on being appointed a Justice of the Peace for South Australia, and I thank them most cordially, and thank you for your letter conveying the message. The action of the Government came as a surprise, for although such a reform had often been asked for, nothing had been said about it lately, the special request of reform societies being for women as police patrols, whom we are likely to have very soon. We are glad the W.C.T.U. was not left out, and there seems to be a large amount of approval among both men and women. I trust we may have courage and wisdom for the pioneer work, and make a safe pathway for all women who come after us. May New Zealand soon win all similar reforms, as its women so well deserve to do. With cordial greetings.—Yours in White Ribbon fellowship, ELIZABETH VY. NICHOLES. Miss Henderson, 8.A., Cor. Sec. W.C.T.U. of N.Z.
