" Your committee desire to lay before ym tlie work of this Association, which >.ook over tlie female Prison Gate Brigade Home on September 2S last. Since that date ie haa been a matter of organisation, under somewhat adverse times, but it is with pleasure we have to report progresssd i the Master's work. A ladios' committee has been formed, .representing the various churches, from which an executive com mittee of three was appointed to take! internal charge and control of the entire workings of the Home, and consider ing tho short time, a great improvement in the management is manifest. The reports of the executive and our inspection fully bear out Uue. Your Committee take this opportunity to acknowledge their indebted ness to the Ladies' Committees, especially tho executive of management, who have labour d so arduously to perfect the work. Our thanks are also tendered to tho minis ters and others -who have taken an active part in tho spiritual meetings and classes in the Home. Tho number of women and young girls who have passed through tho Homo since September last is 41, varying in. age from 10 to CO, out of which 9 were from 10 to 15 years, 10 from 1G to 20, C from 21 to 25, 4 from 26 to 30, 6 from 31 to 40, 4 from 41 to 50, and 2 from 51 to GO. Out of those who have left the Home there were 5 who professed to have found Christ, and we believe are living con sistently, (3 have been placed in situations, 4 restored to parents or friends, 2 admitted into tfio Hospital, 1 transferred into Mva Gowie's Home, 1 sent to friends in Dunedin, 1 sent .to rejoin her husband in Sydney, and there are now —in the Home. i rour committee arc still, in correspondence with the trustees of the two funds, amounting to £1,000, which moneys were derived from publio sources, viz., the general public and the lato Pro vincial Government, for the express, pur pose of a Women's Reformatory. We trusb an early settlement of this matter will en able us to secure the property we have under a purchasing agreement, and thus allow the work.to progress. The foregoing mentioned property has been improved-, by us, and also the late trustees of- the F.P.G.8., to the extent of. £190- which, we show in tho balance-sheet at £150. Your committee are under obligation to many of the merchants and others for their generous aid in Mrid. Amongst the prominent are : —MessieK. B. Morton, John BucLa an, A. H. Nathan, L. P. .Nathan and Co., Fanners' Association, John Ilamb, J. C. Firth, By croft and Co., E. Ellingham,"Warnock Brothers, W. .McArthur aad Co., Union Candle CompanyV J. Trenwith and E. Waters. •, Your committee regret that they are in debt to tho extent of nearly £90, and trust the general public will respond with their usual liberality to our appeal- for an nual subscriptions. . The one object of this association, is to endeayour to snatch the young, fallen girls from their pathway of vice and sin, and to train them,, by the grace of God, to live virtuous,, useful, and righteous lives." Mr Fry,, the treasurer, then read the statement of accounts, whioh was adopted. > . »i Election of.Officers, —Mr B. Fry was elected treasurer, Mr F. W. Boynton secre tary, and Messrs Edward.

OTAHUHU NEWS.

A sew and very handsome barracks for the Salvation Army has been er.etecl for the followers of General Booth.; It is built of brick; and will hold near 200 people. It is a very pretty building, and reflects credit on the dash of the Army, and its contractor —Mr Macdonald, ;

The Masons of Otahuhu and surrounding districts are now buildine; a very handsome hall on the Great South Road. It comprises a larf»e hall, reception, and dining-room. Situated a« it is in ' tlie centre of tiio town ship, it will, add another landmark to the " up arid ready" little suburb, which now loses its name of •' ' ■•

The '"Sloeov Hollow."

Talking about sleepy hollows reminds mo that the name is a gro^s insulft to our gcahead principles, for' to mv recollection we have had in nine years thrco fires, two new chapels built, public hall enlarged, a Salvation barracks erected, a Masonic ba'l going up, nine bankrupts,'aiifl not least, though last, two and ■a - half poet.s drawing inspiration from .the grandeur of the " pleasant lanc> of Otahuhii." Who could wish for more? 1 don't mean more poets, for Heaven knows one in a town ship is quite enough. But who could wish for more go-ahead principles ? Who want s to advanoe " slicker " than this ? if they do let them march to Howick.

Nominations for two members of the Road Board for tlie'abQve district were ..received by Mr O'Brien,' returning officer, on Mon day, owing ftp the retirement of Messrs John Todd: and W; R. Wills, ptevious. members. The following were nominated;— Messrs P. Kelly^, Howard Huttbn, and A. Sturges. ]S'ext Monday is the day of election; .

Subsequently ho went to Brad ford ; then caroo to tho colonies. Ho con sidered that a pjreat deal "o-f his success amongst them wonld dopciid upon' their adaptability to each other. When he came to Auckland ho wasj struck with the, num ber of young men in Nowton, and folt that thero' was still more work for him. Ho would endeavour to always giro thorn, something worth hearing wheti thoy c«ime to' church. Ho would give Mb own conric tions from the burning questions of the day.
