PRESBYTERIAN FELLOWSHIP UNION.

N.S.W. BRANCH MAKES A FORWARD MOVE. The New South Wales branch of the Presbyterian Fellowship Union is about to take an important stop in advance (says the Sydney "Daily Telegraph"). Although it has been in. operation for over 30 years, its management has been entirely in tho hands of voluntary officers: The time has now come when the employment'of a paid organiser is necessary, and at a recent meeting of tho delegates it was unanimously^- 1 cided to invito the Rev. J. G. Jamieson, of New Zealand, to accept tho positron. Mr. Jamieson has had a long experience in connection with a kindred union in the Dominion, and it is largely through his organising ability that the movement therd has attained its present unique position. It is hoped that Mr. Jamieson will reach Sydney before Easter, -when the biennial interState convention and summer camp meets at Richmond. A large number : of representatives from , the Victorian Union aro expected to take part in this, and as there will also bo a strong contingent present from tho country associations affiliated with the New South Wales Union, tho occasion will be unique for introducing tho. newlyappointed organiser. Tho fellowship movement originated in Scotland in 1870, and has proved a powerful stimulus in the work of the Presbyterian Church there. Its objects are the social, moral, and spiritual elevation of tho younger members of tho churches in every parish, and it is fully recognised by and works under the direction of tho General Assembly of tho Australian Church.
