Kegarding the Rev L. M. Isitt, the Wei ington " Press " says:—'.There is a popular delusion associated with Mr Isitt to the effect that while he goes lecturing up and down the country, he also receives his sti pend as a minisiter of the Wesleyan Church, This is not so. He retains his fall status as a minister, and is amenable to Conference; he is also released from ministerial duty as pastor of the East Belt Church, Christ church, in order to enable him to carry on his temperance campaign, but he receives not a farthing of stipend. Ifc is evident that our local grocers mean business, for if one looks at Mr Henry Zander's new advertisement, it will readily be found that his prices are not only the lowest advertised, but even lower than Christchurch prjices.
