"REST AND BE THANKFUL" 341
She had replied advising another season of the
year. I took that side of matters, explaining how
she might be tossed to and fro, with no good meet-
ing for weeks. Urged her corresponding again in
summer when, D.V., I may be permitted to go
again to you, when we might arrange (before
harvest) for a special gathering. Do, meantime,
urge our necessarily small classes as to weekly
gatherings to go on the lines I tried to teach,
i.e. if you approve.
1st. Encourage all girls to join Y.W.C.A., be-
cause of its world-wide protection to wanderers.
2nd. To enlist all women, including girls, be-
longing to our Church into Guild fellowship, under
at least the pledge : " To desire to be taught with
a view to becoming workers in God's vineyard."
I found the first pledge on card frightened some.
Justifiably so, if it meant full-blown Christians !
Do write me a regular " ceilidh " about every-
thing. I came here on Tuesday in a motor-carriage
with a nurse, my sister, Lady Frances Balfour,
and following us Miss Macrae, who has been a
devoted friend, a sister of the Crown Court minister.
It is going to be recruiting here. At present
I don't feel much good, as the journey tried me
dreadfully, seventy -four miles. I prefer the
" Fingal," but tell it not in Gath !
Tell the dear people my heart often goes out to
them.
I am only joking when I pretend to be in despair
with you.
