CHRISTIAN WORKERS’ BOARD OF MISSION.

WANGANUI, June 7. The annual conference of the New Zealand Christian Women’s Board of Missions —a society organised in connection with the Church of Christ —has just been held here. Delegates representing the auxiliaries at Invercargill, Kaitangata, Dunedin, North-East' Valley, Oamaru, Ashburton, Christchurch. Kilbirnie, Wanganui, and Auckland responded to the roll call of delegates. Reports were received from the dominion secretary, the dominion treasurer, the evangelists working under the board, and the superintendents of Young Ladies’ Circles Mis'-iq - ! Bands and Junior Christian Endeavour Societies. All the reports showed that the work of the board had been well sustained during the past year. The following resolutions were passed: To carry on the existing work at Kaitangata and to subsidise Kilbirnie Church to the extent of £1 per week; to consider, if possible, the appointment of a sister as dominion organiser; to devote the funds raised by the Young Ladies’ Mission Circles to the work in South Africa; to continue to devote the fund raised by Children’s Mission Bands and Junior Christian Endeavour Societies to orphanage work in India; to hold the conference in 1916 at Oamaru, at Easter time ; and to hold a special week of prayer and self-denial in the first week in August each year. At the close of the last business session a vote of sympathy was passed with the relatives of those who have been wounded or who have fallen in the war.
