God’s purpose in instituting the family, she said, was so that all might learn tire art of living with, and for, other people. Mrs R. S. 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. Mr Conly and Miss Stuckey, of the' Vocational Guidance Centre at Dunedin, spoke stressing the advantage of a secondary education for young people. Miss D. Weir and Miss E. Anderson rendered solos, and Mrs S. Mosley read the thought from the King’s message. Mrs J. Park proposed votes of thanks. Mrs T. 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.
