CONVENTION ECHOES

The following paragraph has been received from a delegate since the dost of Convention: ‘ Regarding the decision of .he Dominion Convention that it would not be advisable to part with our W.C.T.I’. Headquarters, but that all Unions unite in an endeavour to raise sufficient money to pay off the debt on the same as soon as jiosible, 1 think we should do well to bear in mind that old poem:— ‘We all can do better than yet wt have done, And be not a whit the worse; It never was loving that emptied the heart, Nor giving that emptied the purse.’ ” y NEW SUPERINTENDENTS We welcome Mrs. Moore of W'arkworth as the new Dominion Superintendent of L.T.L., and Mrs. A. McClure of “Press” Department, and sincerely wish them a happy task in what they have undertaken. CONVENTION TEAS What a debt of gratitude we owe our sisters of the Auckland District for all they did to help us. The provision of lunch time tea was a real boon in these days of long waits for service in restaurants, but it must have entailed a good deal of planning and work for those who did it. We all feel we want to thank them again, and to tell them what a great deal it meant to us. The really delicious afternoon teas provided by ladies of different churches also are gratefully remembered. A hundred kind acts of thoughtfulness testified to the anxiety of our hostesses to make our stay in Auckland pleasant and happy, which it certainly was.
