Mrs. Jean Hanly added to the beauty of the service by singing two solos: 0 Come, 0 Come, Emmanuel, and They'll Know We Are Christians By Our Love. Mrs..

In a country with three million people there are 60 million sheep. Their daughters missed the snow while they were in New Zealand and sometimes played in the heavy rains which were prevalent. Because of the quick- weather changes, there are many rainbows in New Zealand. The president, Mrs. Harold Knisley, was in charge of the annual meeting.
