SLUM EXPERIENCES
INTERESTING ADDRESS. ’at TOWNSWOMEN’S GUILD MEETING. The monthly meeting of the Townswomen’s Guild was held in the Y.M.C.A. yesterday afternoon, Mrs Copp presiding over a large attendance of members and friends. A minute’s silence was observed in memory of service men who had lost their lives in the war. A motion was passed expressing sympathy with Mrs Anderson who has suffered a bereavement. The roll call was “quotations.” and the thought for the month was “A cornel' of a house can be examined; not so the heart.”
Mrs Munn sang two songs which were much apnreciated. Captain Sutcliffe, of the Church Army, took for the subject of his address, “Slum experiences, great and gay, in London,” mainly round the Victoria docks. He showed how the mission work was carried on in those parts, sometimes under great difficulties. Yet the Christian influence, he
said, had raised the standard of living for the people. Mrs Copp thanked Captain Sutcliffe for his most interesting address.
