WOMEN CHURCH WORKERS
FINE TYPE OFFERING PROBLEM OF FINANCE (Per Press Association.) DUNEDIN, this day. At the Presbyterian General Assembly yesterday, the Rev. 11. H. Barton presented the report of the Women’s Missionary Training Institute. lie emphasised the fact that the students came more and more from the whole of the Dominion. A very fine type of woman was asking for training. A women workers’ superannuation fund had been established, but was not. very strong yet. Of 1 £SOOO ' capital re <]wired, only £BB4 was in hand. Jl was urgently necessary to secure the
required capital. Mr. Barton emphasised that this fund was separate from the women’s btmoficiury fund, which is for foreign missionaries. The church was not yet awake to the importance of the work our women could’ do. Workers were offering, but there was a disinclination'to employ them, and the ehu.rh was making a serious.mistake.
Mr. AY. H. Adams said the Women’s Training Institute was started without funds 30 years ago. To-dav there was in the endowment fund and in the bursary fund, as well as in current account, substantial balances, but the work was expanding and increasing expenditure followed. Mr. Adams appealed to those with wealth to remember the institute.
