WOMEN'S MISSIONARY AUXILIARY.

Mrs Ballantyne, president, was in the chair at the monthly meeting of the Lower Hult Methodist Women's Missionary Auxiliary. After the opening devotions the minutes were read and confirmed. A farewell letter was received from Mrs Dent, who is retiring from the Foreign Mission Field after 1(J years of active service, and there was also a report from the Kurahuna Training School for Maori girls. Mrs W. E. Saunders was in charge of the stall. Parcels are being received for ' the mission sack, but there is still urgent need for clothing, books, ctc. After tea Rev F. Hayman gave a splendid address on "Building Womanhood in the Solomons." In dealing with bacward peoples the education of the boys far outstrips that of the girls ■ an din the particular ease of the Solomons, the statistics quoted amply support this fact. It is of no use bring- j ing our materialistic Western education to these races: we must aim at a thorough Christian education. Mr Hay- j man specially stressed the need for a I residential school for the Solomon Island girls and a permanent "home' j sister. ' j The president voiced the appreciation of the members concerning Rev Hayman's interesting lecture and the meeting closcd with the Benediction. j ' — i
