'attendance at the arinuarmeeting. Ho did not know how Wellington would fare 'without the active philanthropy of the Association.' Every, citizen of Wellington should'be grateful that there was a Ladies' Christian 'Association, arid :h'e .wished that.tho chuVches could give it a greater support. ' When women took work of this sort in hand they, put into it an amount of enthusiasm, and somegot the work done as men never, did.
