PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

My Dear Friends, I want to thank Mrs. Christian for her sympathetic mention in the “W\R.” of the passing of my beloved sister. “We loved her well, but Jesus loved her best.” She was a stalwart for temperance, and for “Whatsoever things were honest, just and pure, whatsoever things were lovely and of good report.” She is now with her Saviour Whom she loved and served from girlhood. Will all my “W.R.” friends please accept the thanks and appreciation of my sister and myself for the expressions of sympathy and love which have helped us to face up to our loss ?

When our comrades reach up to cloudless day, it is for us to win more votes for righteousness; that God’s cause sljall not diminish because He has called some of His workers home. May He give us more courage this year to work more earnestly for Him than ever.

I hope to meet many of you at Convention. Pray for Convention. Pray for the new leaders, whoever they may be. It is God’s cause. No one should be in Hi? work for their own glorification. I do pray that we may see Jesus only, and work for His glory and for the destruction of all that hinders the progress of the Gospel of Peace and Goodwill.

Yours with heartfelt thanks for all the loyalty and good fellowship which 1 have enjoyed as your president for eleven .years. JESSIE HIETT.
