SUPERINTENDENT’S LETTERS.

LITERATURE. Dear Sisters, —1 would draw your attention to the “Literature” column in this issue, where all prices are emoted post free, and would ask you, when ordering to kindly enclose amount for same when possible, as this means the saving of postage and time. Some who ordered will have received their K.K pledges, which we trust will be found widely sought after and largely distributed, as many thousands are ordered, and will, it i c hoped, be found from north to south of these Islands. One Union is evidently very energetically bent on being first to obtain the “Win One” membership, having ordered a large number of membership cards, and is in a fair way to win “The Banner” next year. So Unions look to your laurels. As regalds the Purity books and leaflets, 1 have a large assortment. Mr R. H. \Y. Blyth, whom many of you know, was pleased at the commencement of the year, when looking over my stock, to say that 1 had Me largest and most varied of any bookseller in the Dominion. So I tiling you need not fear sending your <»id°rs along. Also on hand, “Java,” fir Miss Harband, the review of which you will find in February number of “White Ribbon” —a nice present. Anything you may wish, if not in <k, 1 w ill be pleased to obtain. Repeat orders for next 12 mouths “Purity Advocate” solicited, also i.ew subsf riber-, 6d per annum; “American Motherhood” also. —Yours for service, E. G. DEARLOYE.

Ngaerc, 10th May, 1915. Dear Sisters, 1 would again impress upon you the importance of Mothers’ Meetings, and urge every Branch to hold, at least, one or two or these during the present year. Different methods of working this department will commend themselv •> tn different superintendents, but I would remind all that Doctors and Plunket nurses are usually found most

wifling to co-opcrate in any forward movement to give addresses on “Purity,” “Child-culture,” or other suitable subjects. Where the valuable services of a Doctor or nurse are not procurable, papers on educative and modem lines might be read. The following leaflets, which have lately come under my notice, will be found helpful in “M’s. Ms.” Dept., and are to be purchased from Mrs Neal, Pahiatua (who will send a sample packet on application), “The Cradle Army, ’ “Dont’s for Parents,” “The Tactful Mother,” “Purity in Schools,” “My Little Living Interrogation Point,” “What to Peach Children and How,” and “High Ideals for Schools.” Books like “What a Young Girl Ought to Know ” (price 4s 6d), which are too expensive for free distribution, might be purchased by Unions, and lent to mothers. Hoping you will report at the end of the year all “M.M.” work done, whether as a distinct and separate dept., or in conjunction with any kindred Department. Yours in the work, A. C. JONES, Dominion Supt. for Mothers’ Meetings.
