PERSONAL.

All members will regret to hear of the serious illness of Mrs Johnson Wright, our late Evangelistic Superintendent. She was in her place at the beginning of Convention, but hud to see 1 ; medical advice and to keep her bed for the greater part of Convention. She was very tenderly cared for by her hostess, and later on brought to her homo in Wellington by her sister, Mrs Cummings. She now lies there very seriously ill in body, but calm and tranquil in mind, leaving herself in the Father’s keeping. All White P.ibboners will pray that our much loved fellow-worker may bo kept in perfect peace and rest, cradled in the "Everlasting Ar*ns. ’ Our World Missionary, Mrs Oow’ie, is "twitching her mamlUe” to betake itself to “fresh fields and pastures new.” She leaves New Zealand in the Niagara on May 11th for a six months’ stay in Honolulu. We wish her a safe and speedy passage, a pleasant holiday, and an early return to help us in our work in this Dominion. We are all .distressed to know our dear old friend and fellow-worker, Mrs Norrie, is laid aside from active work, and is suffering nit her severely. Many friends have sent letters of sympathy, for which she is grateful. The love and sympathy and the bright letters have cheered and helped her in the dark and troubled time of suffering. Hut Mrs Norrie cannot reply i>ersoiiflliy, owing to her weakness. Will all those who liave written please accept her thanks and her appreciation through the columns of our paper? She bids me tell you how your loving messages have cheered her, and how the knowledge that we are all remembering her in our prayers !n strengthening and sustaining her. May the Great Physiciun speedily restore her to health and strength to continue the work she lo^. r, so well and does so cheerfully and capably. May the day be far distant when Mrs Norrie’s bright smile and cheery presence is missed from another Convention.
