Mrs Taylor, Dominion President, visited the West Coast on August 24th, but after a week's campaigning had to return home owing to failure of health. We are all glad to know she is much better, and ready again to take the field. On September 14th, 15th, and 16th. she v ill preside at the Canterbury Convention. On September 23rd and 2 4th. she is to visit Hawke’s Hay Convention, and on the 29th and 30th, to be at Auckland District Convention. On October sth, the Waikato District is to hold its Convention at Morrinsville. and Mrs Taylor is to be with them. May our President have all needful strength for her labour of love, and may the Conventions be an inspiration to all who attend them. Our erteemed comrade, Mrs LeeCowie. is paying a visit to Honolulu. Miss Pyle, who is with her, sends us

the following particulars which will be of interest to all our readers. “We are having a most lovely and w’onderful holiday here, and Auntie is keeping beautifully well. Thv climate is fine, cool at nights, and though the sun is hot there are fine strong breezes from hill 3 and the sea. so we keep beautifully cool, and what with plenty of fruit and vegetables and Iced drinks, doors and windows well open, a large lani (verandah) with easy chairs and tables, so we have plenty of comfort in shady places, and the street cars have open sides, no they are cool and pleasant for riding. A number of her friends have taken us for some lovely rides in their own car:.,, anti we have seen some very interesting sights, miles and miles of pineapple and sugar cane, and other plantations. People here are 40 per cent. Japanese, others are Chinese, Portuguese, Koreans, Hawaiians, Fillipinos, and others, but they all seem to work together beautifully, and are all most kindly disposed towards visitors." Mrs Lee-Cowie writes from Honolulu: “Tell everyone Prohibition is a great success. The people here are so clean and happy and prosperous, it just makes me long for a similar blessing for New Zealand. There is a motor car here for every three people. ‘Oh! Cod, give the people wisdom.’ “Mr Cowie and 1 leave by the Niagara, September 29th, for Auck-< land. I hope to come back here again next winter. This place suits my health perfectly. I have not had as much as a cold since coming, and l have been so beautifully busy. The work is a real joy, and the need of Christian workers is very great. 1 hear of distress and unemployment in Auckland, and again I repeat the prayer ‘Oh! Cod, give the people wisdom to vote away the poverty producer. Drink.’ ’’
