MISS C. E KIRK, Dominion President
In the retirement from the position of Dominion President of our much loved Mrs. Hiett, after eleven years of devoted service and fine leadership, we realise that we have lost from our immediate, constant Union life, a contact which has been of very great value. vYe ''hall miss the wonderful “message" which was a feature of each month's “White Ribbon.” In a way quite special to herself, Mrs. Hiett touched the deeps of our spiritual life, and communicated to us something which had a unique quality. Our thanks ito to her from all parts of the Dominion.
In her successor we have one whose qualities and abilities are notable indeed; hut who, to quote from her own words, “shall never be able to write as Mrs. Hiett did; and can only hope that no one is expecting it of me." Well, why should she? How strange it would seem if another pen produced Mrs. Hiett’s words and thoughts. One of the pleasures of such an organisation is to know and appreciate the wonderful variety of splendid women who comprise it. If we want to understand why we are all different, we should read again what St. Paul so perfectly put into his immortal words in Ist Corinthians, chapters 12, vs. 111, and 14, vs. 7-11.
