RICHMOND
VISITOR FROM BENGAL A very interesting visitor to Richmond the last few days has been Miss Cow’les from Eastern Bengal. Miss Cowles's father was a school teacher at one time in Richmond, so the family are well know’n to the older residents of the district. Miss Cowiti addressed a meeting of women recently in the Baptist schoolroom, where Mrs Hockey presided. Miss Cowles is a gifted woman, beI ing a writer, teacher, and qualified nurse. She left New Zealand in 1911 for the Baptist Mission Station in East | Bengal, India, and has done a wonder- [ ful work there. i Miss Cowles also planted a tree to the memory of Mrs Hart. Richmond, on. behalf of the Richmond branch of the B.W.M.U. Mrs Hart, who recently died at the advanced age of 101. was a keen worker for foreign missions, making and selling rugs for that purpose, and the members trust that the tree will |be a living memory of the-fragrance and beauty of her life.
