said Awesome family
Taking her bicycle with her wherever she travelled, Mary Hughes gave open-air addresses, held meetings in many Church and Public Halls. She was the guest speaker at many denominations of churches, Baptist, Congregational, Salvation Army, Anglican and Methodist. She also gave talks in schools and Sunday Schools to her young listeners on the evils of alcohol. Arriving in a town or city, where a hall would have been hired by a committee in advance, she would organise a spectacular concert with children and young people dressed as the Nations of the World, with costumes carried in a large trunk which travelled with her.
That's Mary Hunter for you.
