The Guild habits - headquarters m London, but is worldwide m its operations. Thte'relwere present on this occasion, one member, eight nurses admitted' as Associates (to become members. after six months' trial), and one.. who joined : as ; an honorary member. After the service a meeting;, was held, when Mrs. J. Murdoch: was selected to be recommended as Superior to the branch, the, Rev. J. Hobbs as the Chaplain, .and Nurse Crosse was appointed, hon. secretary and .treasurer. Monthly meetings will be held m St. Augustine's Church on tlie Friday before the first Sunday m each month.
