SPECIAL REPORT
MRS. HIETT AT TIMARU, MARCH 18 At a special meeting of the Timaru Union, to which other women’s organisations had been invited along with Youth Workers, the speaker was Mrs. Hiett, who was on her way home after Dominion Convention. Tracing the prowth of the W.C.T.U. from 1885, when it was first started in New’ Zealand, she emphasised the various reforms it had successfully achieved. The clause in the Lord’s Prayer, “Deliver us from evil,” is what we are working for when we work for Abolition. The sad experience of many falling away from God is through drink. We need the co-operation of the Churches. God needs us as coworkers. What a challenge to us! The chief work of our organisation was to bring about an end to the liquor traffic; and this ideal could he accomplished if mothers trained their children to understand the destructive [lowers of alcoholic liquor. If the rationing of food can he worked successfully so can the prohibition of drink. We do not ask for Moderation or State Control, but the complete abolition of alcohol, and we must continue to fight till we have gained complete victory.
