Miss Powell at Work.

Early in June I spent two or three days visiting at Fort Chalmers, and on 13th the ordinary meeting of the Union was held, addressed by Mrs Napier and

mvself. Two new members were initiated, and four siibscril>ers to the White Ribbon obtained. Mosgiel, East Taieri, and Outram have also been visited and three State schools addressed. A meeting of the Mosgiel Union was held on Wednesday, July 3rd, but the attendance was very small, so I gave simply an informal talk, and a cup of tea kindly provided by Mrs McKerrow proved v< ry acceptable. During the afternoon snow began to fall, and by the time the meeting was concluded the weather was simply atrocious. Two new subscribers to our admirable little paper were obtained.

On Tuesday, July 2nd, the Dunedin W.C.T 0. held a very successful “ At Home ” There was a large attendance, and, after an address on the rise and progress of the W.W.C.T.U had been given, sixteen new members were initia-

ted, some of whom had given in their names at the annual conversazione previously held. On Saturday, July 6th, I ploughed through the snow to Waikouaiti, in place of Sister Olive, of Trinity Church, who was laid aside with a severe cold. On the Sunday 1 took two services in the Wesleyan Church, the congregation being a very small one in the morning, and a very good one at night. I met some of our Good Templar friends, and arranged to go up later and hold Temperance meetings. At present the depth of the snow—still falling at intervals—prevents anything being done.
