Dudley, in welcoming the members, eulogised tho work of tho various Lodges, and gave an address on "Friends and Friendliness," based on the words from Proverbs 17.17, "A friend lovcth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity." At tho r.vening service the preacher spoko on "Tho Gospel of Kindness to Animals," in keeping -with the day being observed as Animals' Welfare Sunday, Reunion Banco. Tha success attending the first reunion dance of tbfi past-pupils of the Lyttelton District High School, which was held in the Ex celsior Hall on Saturday night, will no doubt result in it being made a regular one.
