NEWS AND NOTES
During the last quarter, death has deprived us of two lady
members who took a deep and abiding interest in the Union and its
activities. We refer to Mrs. Eugenie Julia Chriatoffelaz, widow of
the late Mr. J. E. Chrisfcotfalsi'., and Mrs. Annie Ohnstoffalsz, widow
of the late Mr. W. S. Christolf'elsz, whose deaths occurred on 3rd
and 6th May, respectively. Until prevented by ill-health, both
these ladiea associated themselves prominently with the work of
the Union, while the members of their respective families are still
among our moat ardent members. We desire especially to mention
the keen interest taken by Mrs. W. S. Christoffelaz in the Social
Service work of the Union. She seldom miaaed a meeting of tha
Social Service Committee, where hor helpful advice was much
appreciated. Both she and her husband were regular contributors
Lo Social Service Funds, and their loas is keenly felt by the Union.
