Central.—Family life in general, and how it affects the wider life of the community and of the nation, was discussed by Mrs D. C. Herron.

Watson presided, and welcomed Mrs Jones (provincial president), and other visitors. Mrs Toms read the thought, and Mrs Harvey the Scripture. Mrs B. Stuart moved a vote of thanks to Mrs Herron, and to Mrs Angus, who, accompanied by Mrs Herron, had played two delightful violin solos. Stirling.—Mrs Coatsworth presided.

Duncan reported that two more cakes were ready for posting to the men overseas. Caversham.—Mrs Davidson presided, and welcomed Mrs Hunt, a former treasurer, now of Tauranga. The Rev. W. R.
