NEWS FROM THE FRONT.
Mrs Williams, who has boon campaigning in North Canterbury, writes: —“The cold and dark of Friday morning made “Blanket Bay” very alluring, and it took all the zeal I could muster to tumble out, and into a cold bath in time to catch the 7.4 0 a. m. tram on my way to Motenau. The ice was thick in the streets when we reached town . . . When I reached Scargill that railway station presented the appearance of a desolate waste. I waited for some time wondering in which direction I should strike in search of a link with humanity. At last a man drove up and collected me and bore me off to his home for lunch. 1 found from my hostess that the meeting arranged was unique in character. It was the afternoon for the Blanket met ting, and they graciously allowed me to speak upon Alcohol in its relation to Blanket work. At the close tne President spoke beautifully and said she would like me to speak at other Blunket branches, and so we arranged for a visit to Waipara and Ha,warden. At night I had a meeting in the manse. There were 14 present, men and women, and the interest was keen.
