I The Rev L. M. Isitt is to give an ad- I dress on Prohibition at the Willowby I church tea meeting, to-morrow (Tuesday) I evening. We remind musical people of the meeting I to be held at Mr Gates' rooms this evening, to make further arrangements with refer ence to the production of " The Messiah." j The annual tea meeting of th« Fleming ton Presbyterian Church will take place on Wednesday ,October 5.! It will be observed I that the date is earlier than usual. | Only six persons attended a meeting which was called by the Mayor of Dunedin for the purpose of considering what steps should be taken in connection with the proposal to erect a memorial at Wellington to the late Sir Harry Atkinson. It was consequently decided to adjourn the meeting for a fort night. I Mr John Mundell, of Geraldine, the well known and popular auctioneer who has I accepted a position in connection with the I South Canterbury .Farmersl! Co-operative I Association, and is removing to Timaru, was I entertained at a dinner at Geraldine last I Thursday evening. Nearly a hundred ! residents ot Geraldine and the surrounding I districts were present, and Mr Mundell had | a right hearty send off. Many in this I district will join in the good wishes to- I wards him. I After service on Sunday the Rev B. A. I Scott, who has for the last ten years been I incumbent of St. Stephens, intimated that at I an early date he would leave Ashburton to I assume the large cure of Sydenham. He I regretted {the time was so short that |it was I nteassary for him to apprise his congregation I at once of the meditated change, without I waiting for a formal meeting with his vestry, I which would be held on Friday, or for a I consultation with the churchwardens. Hs I felf it his duty to go to Sydenham, although he was far from not, appreciating the kind ness he had received at the hands of the Ashburton parishioners during the past ten years. Bishop Julius will be in Ashburton on Wednesday on business connected with Mr Scott's translation to Sydenham.
