1913 NZ Convention
William Irvine on back row. Note only two sister workers. No Sister Workers were on the 1913 NZ Workers List, while the 1912 list had 10. One reason for their disappearance was the concern over whether Sister Workers were scriptural, so the Brother Workers continued without them. When the Brother Workers had no converts the following year, the Sisters were recalled. There were six Sisters on the Workers List in 1914.
