“WITHIN THE VEIL”

Mr». C. W. E. Milgrew, Blenheim Union It is with sincere regret that we record the death, suddenly, <>n Saturday, May 2T of a faithful member of the M arlliorough district Executive, and of the Blenheim Un ; on. 'l'he widow of the late Rev. A. T. Milgrew*, who for many years was stationed at Havelock, Mrs. Milgrew, after her husband’s death, made her home in (irovetown, and carried on faithfullv the work of the Church and Sunda. School. She worked well among young people assisting »n Bible Class activities, being very understanding and tolerant. For the past 12 months, although not at all well, she rarely missed a Union meeting. She was the District Evangelistic Superintendent, and often conducted Devotions for Blenheim. She was a keen musician, and was always ready t<> officiate at organ or piano. She was also a \iolinist. She was a regular attendant at the Women’s Monthly Prayer Days, and here, as well as in her Church activities, she will be sadly missed. She is siir\ i\ ed hv a daughter, Mrs. B. Fleming, and a sister, Mrs. Clunis Koss, with whom sincere sympathy is expressed. Representatives of the Union attended the funeral service at St. Michael’s Church, (irovetown. Mr». E. Saul, Blenheim Deep sympathy is felt with our Dominion Recording Secretary, Mrs. Underhill, in the recent passing ot her mother, Mrs. E. Saul, of Blenheim, at the advanced age of 89. Her large lamily of 10 were all with her verv shortly before the end came. Her husband predeceased her 28 years ago, and her life had been very full and busy with the task of bringing up her children and making provision for their future. She was for some time a member of the Blenheim Union, but her hands were too full for her to be able to give much time to outside organisations. All the same, all good causes had her practical support and interest. After her family was grown up, ill-health made H difficult for her to get about. She came to New Zealand at the age of 20. from Ireland, and set a great example of courage, unselfishness and cheerfulness, for which she will be remembered by all who knew her. Her faith in her Friend and Redeemer was strong, and she longed to be at rest from suffering, in His presence for evermore. Her family rejoice even in their sorrow, that her release has come. Mrs. E. Tyler, Carterton Union Carterton Union has suffered a great loss in the recent passing of their loved President, Mrs. E. Tyler. Although unable to conduct the meetings of late owing to sickness and eye trouble, her interest and Icving thought for all members to carry on, was an inspiration. Her strong, brave, independent character made an impact on all who knew her intimately. Fear-

less, regardless of the cost when speaking of evil, kindly in giving advice, she was knewn and respected by everyone. Her power of prayer was an uplift to all who were privileged to spend times of devotion with her. The inlhunce of her life on the general public was shown by the crowds who came to the funeral service to pay their last tribute, when Ministers of all dem mirations took part. The hotels closed their doors. Hers was a glorious passing to her reward, and her memory will he evergreen. “Strands in a cord reaching down from God’s throne, Links in a chain which now circles each /one, Nr tes in the deepest of harmonies known. We all belong, we belong. ’ Mrs. Tyler had four daughters. Major Mara Tyler, of Bethany Maternity Hospital, Wellington, Mrs. K. Hopkinson, of Hamilton, Major Kia Ora Tyler, of Owen Street, Wellington Salvation \rmy Girls’ Heme, Miss Viola Tyler. Matron of Government Maternity Hospital, Suva, Fiji. Mrs. Tyler was 74 years of age. She passed away suddenly in her sleep.
