WOMEN’S TEMPERANCE UNION
WORK AMONG MOSLEMS AND ARABS DESCRIBED An account of the ignorant and irrational beliefs in super-natural agencies, omens, and divination, was given by Mrs Brohn (formerly matron of the Nazareth Hospital), who recently returned from Palestine, in an address at the South Invercargill Branch of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union. She led her hearers to recognize how extremely difficult and tedious the work is among the Moslems and Arabs to get them to accept Christianity, and that also, because of their mannerisms, practices, and doctrines, it was just as difficult and irksome to promote them to a more sanitary and higher mode of living. The president opened the proceedings with a short sketch on Maori mission work. The district convention is to begin its morning session in Everybody’s, Tay street, on November 19. at 10,15.
