CONVENTION NOTICES. Will all delegates and members who intend being present at Convention kindly send notice as soon as possible if they wish homes provided for them? Notice should be sent to the Wanganui Secretary, Mrs McKenzie. MRS McKENZIK, 43, Wicksteed .Street, Wanganui.

Dear Sisters, — The Annual Convention will open on Wednesday, March 15th, at Wanganui. District Presidents, Secre taries and Treasurers, New Zealand Superintendents of Departments, Organisers and Organising Treasurers, together with New Zealand officers, have, ex officio, a seat in Convention. Each Branch may send one delegate for every 100 or fraction of 100 members, but no delegate can represent more than one Branch. All Unions unable to send a delegate may have a proxy appointed by sending me word and enclosing directions (sealed) as to voting for New Zealand officers, and also to vote on the following motion, notice of which was given at the 1915 Convention:— By Mrs Scanlon: “That any Union finding itself unable to send one of its own members as delegate to Convention, shall have the power to choose as its representative any member of the W.C.T.U. in its own district. Failing this, it may, by request, have a representative appointed by Convention, all delegates and representatives to have the same rights and privileges at Convention.” All members of Convention must present their credentials either at the reception or at the first session of Convention. As the roll has to be prepared before Convention begins, will all intending members please send me a letter or post-card with their official position clearly stated, such as District President, Secretary, etc. Wishing all the Unions a very happy and prosperous New Year.—Yours in the work, K. M. EVANS. Pakaraka, Bay cf Islands, January 12th, 1916. PURITY AND MORAL EDUCATION REPORTS. Will all local Supeuntendents for Purity and Moral Education kindly
