IN THE FIELD.

My last report left me at Opotiki, where several days were spent in visiting, and on December sth we held a meeting, when a few new members were secured and several “White Ribbon’’ subscribers. The results of the week’s work were not very remarkable, but the friends were pleased to have had a visit. The Union is very isolated, but is in a healthy state, and will keep the flag flying. I had to wait two days for the boat, and then, as it was not calling at Tauranga, go around by Auckland, where 1 was kindly entertained by the President, and was able to discuss the work with her, as well as with Miss Dewar. Returning to Hamilton, I found my hostess, Mrs Jones, had been summoned to the hospital to the bedside of her husband. Mrs Auld kindly provided hospitality until 1 left for the South. At Kaiapoi 1 met Mrs Patchett (Secretary of the Rangiora Union) at the house of Mrs Blackwell, and arranged to work up her Union as soon as possible after the holidays, and in Christchurch had a chat over the work with the Dominion Corresponding Secretary, and on my way to Dunedin met the Provincial Secretary # hv arrangement.
