LETTER FROM NUIE ISLAND

The following letter has been handed on by the Dominion President, and we publish it knowing that many readers will be greatly interested in news from our friend, Mrs. Head : Ntiie Island, April 23rd, 1946. ! >tar Miss Kirk, Very many thinks for your interest in our welfare, and for trying to purchase an organ for us. I realise the difficult task you are doing for us. I hope you will be able to purchase one even if it would cost more. This is our Centenary. It is a hundred years this year since the Gospel was brought to Nuic (October 16th). Everyone is looking forward to its celebration. We hope to have our org m for the occasion. Mrs. Beharell, our President, is starting a Girls’ Brigade this year, which is another exciting event on the Island. The Boys’ Brigade is progressing very well. We trust the girls’ class will be the same. ihe President has given us a new name, and is ordering a new badge. This will be the number two badge, tc be worn above the white bow. F.C.W . are the letters, standing for "Federation of Christian Women.” It is to be in blue and gold.

Our Easter passed away very quietly. It is three months now since we had a boat here. It is three months’ scraping of the bottom of our supply tins and barrels. It is really Elijah’s experience with us now.

All the Nuie Island members at our quarterly meeting convey to you their Christian greetings, and hope that all will he well with you. We thank God for Peoce, wherein we can serve Him without fear. Mr Head joins me in kindest regards to you. Kindly remember me to Mrs. Peryman, our dear friend in the Master’s service. Yours very sincerely, MALAMA V. HEAD.
