Mothers' Meetings.

Newtown.—Mrs. Boxall and Mrs. Wright, who conduct this meeting speak of a success attending it far exceeding their expectations, not only in the numbers attending, but also in the great interest taken in the Bible—reading. At the last few meetings as many as from 12 to 20 have been present. During the year 34 meetings have been held.

Herbert Street.—This meeting was opened in January, 1881, and has been held regularly since that time. There are now 19 names on the books; average attendance 8. The interest taken in the meeting is very encouraging, and some who come to them seem to have received great benefit, being regularly found at a place of worship. It is believed that the good seed sown is already bringing forth good fruit.

Molesworth Street.—Miss Bennett reports of this meeting a great improvement in the attendance, 20 names being on the books; average attendance 10. The Bible reading is greatly appreciated. The libraries connected with the meetings are very much valued. It is with great regret the Committee have received Miss Bennett's resignation, she being greatly beloved by the Mothers, and being eminently suited for Christian work. It is earnestly trusted her meetings will not be permitted to collapse for want of a good leader.
