In Memoriam
(Contributed by a Member of the N.Z.N.C.U.)
It is difficult to express in mere words the loss we have sustained in the untimely passing of Sister Sheldon. Her very life was an inspiration of the nobility of duty, her kindly, patient, earnest and gentle personality endeared her to those whose privilege it was to know her. Truly it may be said "To know her was to love her." Few people could have been more ready to answer the call than Sister, for she lived each day as though
the last. Through long years of service Sister worked earnestly and unostensibly — never too busy for a kindly word of encouragement — never too busy to explain the simplest detail to those who worked under her. Sister Sheldon was one of the pioneer members of the N.Z. N.C.U., and had been a consistent and ardent worker throughout. The loss of her presence at the Study Circle is greatly felt.
