HOME MEETING. DARGAVILLE UNION

On October 23rd, Dargaville ladies met together for a special occasion at the home of Mrs. Bradley, when Twenty Years’ Service Badges were presented to Mrs. D. Bradley and Mrs. Noble. Mrs. Jolly opened the meeting with Devotions, a favourite hymn of Mrs. Bradley, “I Need Thee l*ery Hour,” being sung, and prayer offered by Mrs. Green. Mrs. Jolly spoke of the work of the tvyo ladies during the twenty-five years of Dargaville’s existence as a Union. Both were foundation members, Mrs. Bradley being “W.R. agent for eleven years, Mrs. Noble taking over when it became necessary for her to do less work. Mrs. Noble has also been Treasurer, and gave help with the Band of Hope in the early days. Minutes of the first meeting were read. Both ladies suitably replied. A competition for the best telegram with words having as initial letters those of the words “Temperance Cause” brought some amusing and quite clever results. Afternoon tea was served by our hostesses, Mesdames Noble and Jolly.
