1916 CONVENTION.

(To the Editor.) |> ,r Edi tot,- I have been in touch with officers of several provinces about our next Convention, and now feel led to write to urge every Branch and every member to m ike th.s the greatest Convention we have ever had. Our workers everywhere are unsparing in their labours for the soldier boys, and patriotic efforts: but we have never worked under the name of our own organisation, and so we have lost the credit of the invaluable work and thousands of pounds given by our members. Could not we all unite and give Z'soo to ambulance work from our Convention, or to a hospital bed for soldiers, ur a Y.M.C.A. canteen for Egypt, or some one of the* great efforts to bless and benefit our boys? If every member collected twenty shillings, or gave that amount, what a magnificent sum would stand to the; credit of the W.C.T.U. in their own name for national needs. Sisters, make Wanganui notable for the most magnificent Conference and magnificent sacrifice the W.C.T.U. Las ever enjoyed. “Our God is able co do exceeding abundantly, more than we can ask or think.” Shall we ask £ soo? Shall we think /3000? I Will give my portion. Will you give \ours? Your loyal sister, BESSIE LEE-COW lE, World’s Missionary W.C.T.U. Amethyst Hall, Invercargill, December 11, 1915.
