STRENGTH OF THE NATION MOVEMENT.
(By Mrs Bee-Cowie, Organiser.) Otago and Southland have done nobly in response to the call of (iod. Nearly 1000 new members in three months. Such a fine lot of men are joining, and in many places the school teachers are our auxiliaries. We are rejoicing that the educated, the earnest, the loyal, are falling into line and getting ready for the final battle. I have had wet, cold weath'T in many places, but in not one instance have we missed a meeting, and every meeting has resulted in its.' Quota of members. Mrs Weaver, of Alexandra, secured 17 names on a train journey (and the fees also). Now she sends me 1 2 more names, so 1 would say to every member, “Go and do likewise.” Mr A. Cowie is paying for a page in “The Outlook’' to bring our work before the churches. Already several names have been sent me as a result. v One lady in New South Wales has sent us los as her membership fee. W> urge every member to *ecure names to the great petition, and above all, to keep the prayers asc ending day and night for the final victory over drink this year.
