OBITUARY.

MRS DAVIES Wc have to record, w’ith. sorrow, the death of one v>f the charter members of the Auckland District Union, at the advanced age of 87. Mrs Davies joined the Union when it was organised by Mrs Leavett on her world’s missionary tour. She was a woman of deep piety, keen intellect, and wise judgment. Her counsel and advice w r ere much valued by her fellow’-members. She held the position of Treasurer for some years, and took a deep interest in all matters affecting women. She was associate*] with the late Mrs Daldy In the campaign to secure the Woman’s Franchise, and was an officer in the Women’s Political League for many years, having an intelligent grasp of all questions of the day. Mrs Davies was an earnest worker in the church and missionary work. Though unable to attend the Union of recent years, yet she sustained her interest in the work, and some of the memtiers possess and value very much the beautiful knitted lacc work w'hich she made for any special effort for funds. She has been called Home to the Higher Service of the Lord. Wc pay our loving tribute to the memory of such lives, and when the glorious day of victory for Prohibition comes wc will remember that we are reaping the reward of their untiring zeal in the cause to which they devoted the'" fives.
