St. Luke’s Parish Mother’s Union There was a good attendance at the monthly meeting of the St. Luke’s Parish Mothers’ Union held on Wednesday at the home of Mrs. Halbert, Makaraka. Owing to the absence of the Rev. W. S. C. Stephens and Mrs. Stephens, who are attending the annual synod, there was no church service prior to the meeting. As Mrs. Royds, the enrolling member, was unavoidably absent, the chair was taken by the secretary, Mrs. Livingston. Extracts from the Mother’s Union Journal were read by Mrs. Darton. A social half-hour and afternoon tea served informally, concluded a pleasant meeting.
