ADDRESS BY MISS JOHNSON
TO W.C.T.U. CONFERENCE "A HIGHER POWER" (United Press Association—By Eleotric Telegraph—Copyright) BRISBANE. 30th May. Touching sidelights of Miss Amy Johnson's exploit were revealed while she was addressing a conference of the Women's Christian Temperance Union to-day. After likening herself to Cinderella, who was afraid she might wake up to find all the good things about her mythical, she said: "I want to tell you a remarkable incident. I firmly, believe that there is Somebody! who watches over us. Each day before I hopped off I said 'Please, dear God, aeo me safely through to-day,' and now I know that there is a higher power. I feel it." She then related the remarks of some of those who surrounded her. "Thank God you're not a Yankee" one man had shouted. "That exclamation instantly made mo realise" said Miss Johnson, "that I was really doing something to bind the English people more closely together."
