SUPERINTENDENTS LETTER.

September 10 th 1924. Dear White Ribbon Sisters, As the Gaming Bill will be brought before Parliament shortly, and there is no time to draw up a largely signed petition, would each Union Secretary and W.C.T.U. member get busy and write a short letter to the members of their district protesting against any increase in the racing permits. We all as W.C.T.U. members feel so strongly in regard to this matter that if we used our personal influence we might do a great deal. Begin and write at once. M. BIRSS. Superintendent Legal and Parliamentary Department. Dear White Ribbon Sisters, I wish to draw your attention to our Evangelistic Department, which I have always considered one of the most important. It is written that the Master said, “Without me, ye can do nothing.” We therefore hope that all branches of our Union will keep the distinctly spiritual part of our work to the fore. Recently I received from America a small package of literature selected and ordered by our beloved President, Mrs Don. Each pamphlet is written by Mary Harris Armor, the subjects being as follows: (1.) Conquerors. (2.) Plan of work for a Golden Jubilee. (3.) Prayer; and The Importance of Prayer as evidenced by the Practice of Christ. This latter very helpful pamphlet was used at the Wellington District Convention, and the study it promoted was much enjoyed. Various members read the selected passages quoted on the leaflet, thus adding to the helpfulness and interest of the meeting. Many of the delegates requested copies to take to their individual Unions. I shall be glad to supply a copy to any Evangelistic Superintendent upon application, together with the name and address of the writer, or the Publishing House, where more copies can be obtained. Pray, Work, and live for Christ and His Service, is the prayer of M. A. JOHNSON WRIGHT, (Dominion Evangelistic Supt.,) 127 Constable Street, Wellington South.
