MOTHERS' UNION, meeting of diocesa* Council. Her Excellency Lady „ Bledisloe attended a meeting of the Diocesan Council of the Mothers' Union at Bishopscourt yesterday afternoon, when fully one hundred members were present. Her Excellency was accompanied by Lord Bledisloe and by the Hon. Mrs Daniell and Mrs G. Veal. Bishop WestWatson said he was pleased and honoured to welcome their Excellencies, and grateful to them for the interest they took in the work of the Mothers' Union. It was an inspiration to the many Church women interested in the union, to feel that their Excellencies were at one with them in their ideals, and in their high endeavour for the welfare of the Church. Lord Bledisloe's Speech. Hi's Excellency, who explained that he was not supposed to be present, said it would be ungracious and ungrateful of him not to acknowledge so kind and loyal a welcome as tht.t. extended by Bishop West-Watson. He reminded the members of the union that the greatness of the British Empire had been built in the homes of the people, and he exhorted them' to do all in their power to anchor young people to their homes, and so combat the evil, prevalent since the War, of young peoplo looking helplessly, and hopelessly in other directions in search of inspiration. Lord Bledisloe then dealt briefly with the evils of undesirable literature and undesirable films, which would do immeasurable injury to the young people of the country. Words of Appreciation. Mrs West-Watson, after thanking Lady Bledisloe, in the name of the Christchurch Council of .the Mothers' Union, for attending the meeting, said that members had come from Hokitika, Ashburton, and Hinds to meet her Excellency at the meeting. She hoped Lady Bledisloe would I>o able, at a future date to attend a Festival when over one thousand members were expected. Mrs West-Wat son said that the Christchurch Diocc-aa Union were very proud of .the fact that their uniou was the second largest in the Empire, and that its youngest offspring, the tiny branch in the Chatham Islands, was on the furthest outpost of the Empire. Lady Bledisloe expressed pleasure at meeting the members of the council. She said that the present upheaval in the world was due to lack of union, and the most important union was union with God. She emphasised the great influence and the heavy responsibility of the mothers of the country, on whom

devolved the tasks of teaching children the joyousness of real religion and of making home life peaceful, happy, and inspiring. A vote of thanks to her Excellency was proposed by Mrs H. J. Marriner, and seconded by Mrs J. C. Bradshaw. Each member was then presented to Lady Bledisloe, who, with the Hon. Mrs Daniell and Mrs G. Veal chatted to members during the serving of tea.
