IN THE FIELD.

During my visit to Invercargill I ran up to Gore and met the friends there, finding they had not been meeting regularly for some time. Like all other branches, they are verybusy with patriotic work, but it is a pity to let the interest in what the Hon. Lloyd George considers the patriotic work, i.e., fighting the drink traffic, die down. Rangicra has for some time been in difficulties for lack of leaders. After spending a few days there, visiting the members and ascertaining their opinions, I called a meeting,'and it was decided that the Union go into recess until election year. A veryencouraging feature is the absolute loyalty of the members, one and all deciding that they would keep up their membership, and rally around a leader when one appeared. Crossing the Straits, I found myself in Wellington during the progress of the Methodist Conference, and before boarding the Main Trunk train the same night attended the tea, and had the pleasure of greeting many old friends. I am now working up a new Branch at Hamilton East. M. S. POWELL, Dominion Organiser. Miss Powell’s address: C/o Miss Dewar, 4, Pompallier Terrace, Ponsonby, Auckland.
