Von would he surprised if you saw the way their meetings were conductor]. They know how to move and second resolutions. They keep minutes and have their accounts audited very correctly. They are not like those organis­ ations which keep minutes and lose hours. We are recognised as a verv efficient body, and J think that is proved by the grants wc have received from the Treasury and


organisation where there has been so little friction. Like Botnry, too, the movement is actuated by a spirit of service and friendliness and happiness lias been brought to many lonely lives and the women have responded marvellously to the work they have been asked to undertake. We study housewifery and everything that appertains to the home. We have lectures on the arts, drama and music, and study health ami hygiene as well as needlework.

When we started the Nursing Association in Lancashire, only in 1928. there wen* one million people in Lancashire inadequatilv nur?ed. In some places there was only one nurse who could not po—ihly cope with the largo population, and there were many places which could not have a nurse at ali. Jn seven years we have covered the County, and there is an efficient nursing service in practically every district. There are still one or two scattered areas without, hut we hope to reach them soon.

tenches us not to despise small things. Many a time T have gone to the most remote country places where we find just a handful -U women, very keen and verv intelligent. They love their institute which’gives them an added interest in their lives. Out of small things grow big tilings and we hold our annual meeting at the Albert Hall, which is the only building capable of accommodating the vast gathering of dele­ gates. Tt is very inspiriting to hear those 8.000 women stand up to sing their song * .Jerusalem ’ and to know that they are determined to do their share in building Jerusalem in this green and pleasant land.

that the idea 7 suggested caught on, anti wc have a branch of the Personal Service League in Clitheroe and all over the country. Our method is to ask everyone to give us good east-off clothing. You would he surprised to see the marvellous things we get and there are some very funny things as well., AYo even got a bustle one day, while an old lady of eighty sent us a lot of bahv clothes saying -lie did not think she would need them any longer. All the clothes we receive are extremely useful and we have been able to help nmiiv people. We also make a tremendous lot of^ new things. Up and down the country we have 2.700 working parties making new clothes, and at headquarters in London we have volun­ tary workers who deal with 3.000 tons of wool a week am! 3.000 yards of winceyelte. With tiic money we receive—and people are most generous—we buy hoots, blankets and suit-. We are granted excellent terms ami can buy 170 pairs of boots for £20 and that is one of the most acceptable wavs of spending money. During 1031 we distri­ buted 1.017.000 different articles of cloth­ ing. and we claim that lias not only brought warmth to the cold and comfort to the sick, hut that it has restored the self-respect of n great number of people, who before felt so shabby that they could scarcely he tempted out of doors, T» addition wc have been able to find jobs for mnnv people.

We need our Ministries of Health and Labour and it seems to me we do not sufficiently relate our live- to the work done in Parlia­ ment.' It is the greatest power for good or for evil, hut it is our business to see that power is wielded for good. I hope what I have said doe* not appeal' too egotistical, hut I can only speak from my own experi­ ence which has covered a very long period, I am sorry to say. Aly work has brought me into touch with all sorts of people, with townspeople, with country men ami women, with business leaders, with leaders in London and in the county, and I have found that all these things are well worth doing, and I do recommend people who have any spare time to take up public work. 1 know I may he preaching to the converted, hut I know from my own experience the sati-faetion one can get in feeling one has been in some way of use and service to the country.
