SUPERINTENDENTS LETTERS.

Dear White Ribbon Sisters, I have arrived safely home from the Old Land, and wish all the Unions to know that 1 hope to receive reports of work done during the year, not later than the 31 t of December.-—Yours in His Service, (Mrs) L. UPTON, X./.. Supt. Evangelistic Work. Address: IDS, Victoria Avenue, Wan ganui. Dear Sisters, Iho Superintendents of Departments are beginning to think of reports, and 1 hope the l nions are doing the* same. Just think if you have done anything to bring the* effects of alcohol on the human system before the minds of adults or child ion, and report it to me, however small may be* the effort. I know many l nions have offered prizes to the* school children for essays on the wall sheets; please let me know about it. Some teachers object, and say we* are trying to do propagandist work. We are* seeking 10 have the children taught the latest scientific facts concerning alcohol, that they may know how to grow strong in body and mind, and the wall she*e*ts are placed in the* schools feu that purpose*. All reports should be in before December 1 st. —Yours for service, J. K. MANDER, Supt. Scientific 'Kemp. Instruction. Dear Sisters, —1 have the* correct pattern of a health corset waist, particularly suited lor growing girls, and, in fact, anyone who wishes for comfort. lam sending it out in the form of a chain letter, one Union posting it on to another, but if any Superintendent of Hygiene \\< uld like* it at once, 1 will cut a pattern and forward if postage is paid. No charge for the pattern. —Yours in the work, m. McDonald, XZ. Supt. Hygiene.

SABBAT il OBSERVANCE. Dear W.K. Sisters, — Mr.*' Hamilton, who \\.i> appointed as Supt. o! Sabbath Observance* .1' last Convention, was unable* to undei take tin work. i have* been asked b\ the X.Z. Executive to act in lie/ pi.ie e* Most l nions no doubt have a Supi. for that branch of our woik, and 1 -on cercly hope* will have .1 good report to forward to me* b\ the* close of tin year. With ■'(•mi of the work take*n up by 0111 Unions, many of the* members feel they c"»i do Lttle* a> individual'. But with Sabbath Observance, overv woman can do so much, in whatever spilt ie 'h«* moves , beginning in our own homes, with our own families. 1 here we can avoid uoing su mane things, and set .111 example* for our children to < e>py. Ibis alone is work that will live for ever. 1 would aDo suggest that the super intendents of this department of work endeavour to see that the shops in tin ir town or distiii t are 1 losi d on the Sabbath. week igo .1 deputation w.iited upon the* .Minister of Justice in Wellington, 1 being one of the women. We brought this matter be* foie* him, and it i' the* law of the Dominion that shops are* clewed on the* dr* .Milk shops can sell duiing certain hours, but they are not free to sell sweets, which so many of them do. For the* children’s sake, we want to stop this being done* on the Sabbath. “’TD the little foxes which spoil the vines,” and ’tis the little sins which will destroy the* charae te*r of our boys and girls. Hoping to have a report from every Union. - Nouis in the* Master's work, E. A. BOX ALL. “ Let Mam.” 40 l’irie Street, Wellington.
