NEW YEAR GREETINGS FROM OUR PRESIDENT.

Ravensbourne, January 5. Dear Sisters, — A Happy New Year to you all! 1923 has gone, and we are well into 1924, facing a way we have not passed heretofore. It may be a new way of work, fraught with difficulties, and calling for daily sacrifice, or it may be a long way with its end far out of sight, a way that fills us with dismay simply because we have never walked there before; but if it is Gods way for us, we can trust Him to fulfil His promise to guide and keep us, and never leave us alone, and though there may be new experiences for us to gain, new possessions to possess, new enemies to lace, new- problems to solve, we need not fear, but do our woik with a cheerful courage, leaving the result with Him. 1 hope every Union will send a delegate to the Convention in New- Plymouth next March, at the same time praying with us that the annual gatli-(-ring may be a time of revival that will iH‘gin in the District and spread through o\ery Union, making the work of 1921 effective and enduring. 1 wish for you all the )**st gifts that cometli from a Heavenly Father. —Affectionately yours, RACHEL 1 >ON. Box 16, Post Office, Dunedin.
