Christchurch, June 9th, 1926. Dear “Y” Members, I have just had a communication front Mrs Carver, World Superintendent of “Y” work, who asks if we have any “Y" members over 16 years of ape who will join the International Correspondence Bureau, the object of which is to bring “Y” mein hers throughout the world into touch with one another. Here is a great opportunity for \ou. one that will mean not only sen ice to your own branch, but service in the wider sphere of the world s work. We. in New Zealand, have much to learn from o»her countries, and they in turn can learn from us. T 1 is work, if heartily taken up. suould be of inestimable benefit to our branches, for the letter received will, of course, be read at the general meetings, and thus all members will be brought into touch with “Y’s.” in other lands. Now', while such a correspondence must add considerably to the interest of “Y" meetings, that will not he by any means the chief gain. Beyond this is the fact that the future peace of the world can only be assured by the people of the various countries getting to know and understand one another, and if you. young people, ran make the smallest effort to that f*nd, surely it will be worth while. I’leaso let me have the names and addresses of those willing to join, and at the same time give any particulars, such as age and occupation, that will enable correspondents to be u:t; ’ ly linked up. Yours in loyal service, CHItI ST IN A H ENPERSON.
