MRS LEE-COWIE'S THANKS.

Dear Comrades, — Most warm and loving thanks for all your sympath} in my recent experience. It has led to unexpected developments. The doctor says that 1 will not be able to live in Dunedin. So we will “flit to warmer regions. In February we purpose leaving for Fngland for the World’s W.C.T.L. in April. l hen we will help Scotland in her first Local Option contest, which takes place in November. We will probably leave to attend the great Sunday School Convention in Japan in October, n)2o, and then return to New Zealand foi the summer months, and decide where next to pitch, our “moving tent.”

I should love to go to India to live among the poor souls, who need our love and help so sorely. It seeuis as though thousands of Christian people who retire from active business in these favoured lands ought to go and live among the poor heathen, and by their live* and love help to bring light and gladness to them that sit in dark i)e*s and the shadow of death.

While we are on this side the golden gates of glory we are “on duty,” even if we live to he a hundred, and where can we put our lives out to highest interest is the one absorbing question for us all.

And so I do not dare to pray For wind* to waft me on my way, Hut leave it to a Higher Will To sta\ or speed me, trusting still That all is well, and sure that He Who launched m\ barque will sail with me Through storm and calm, and will not fail, W hatever breezes may prevail, To land me every peril past Within His sheltering heaven at last. Then whatsoever wind doth blow, My heart is glad to leave it so, \nd blow it east or blow it west, The wind that blows, that wind is best. Ever in the glorious service of our King, your loving comrade, BF.SSIF LFF-COW lE, World’s Missionary W'.C.T.L. October 4. iqi<).
