“ There is one thing 1 have heard about Dr Norwood which I have not ye,, seen in the public Dress of Australia and New Zealand,” said the Rev. Albert Meade, who presided over yesterday afternoon’s gathering in the Town Hail. “Dr Norwood was one ot those ministers who identified himself with the troops on the Western Front during the Great War, and while there ho was known affectionately as the ‘ Old Apostle.’ lie comes now to the young 1 Timothies ’ to discourse on great ideals and assure them, as did the Apostles of old, of the Divine power of those ideals.”

A two-storied wooden building in Vivian street, Wellington, adjoining the Trades Hall, and comprising two simps and a dwelling, was burnt out on Sunday afternoon.

A large crowd witnessed the blaze.

The greater the cold the greater the demand for coal. So the coal sellers must bo busv. In Dunedin there is no likelihood of the sellers being unable to meet the orders. No fewer than sixty-one established coal businesses can* ho counted on the list, and there arc many others who sell—men who buy wholesale at the mines or the wholesale yards and sell retail. The pits near the city, thoqgh not now produc mg in such quantity as in past years, still provide Dunedin householders with an abundance of cheap coal that the residents of some other cities would be thankful for. Business at the Dunedin office of the Tourist Bureau is keeping up well tins winter. The volume for the first fortnight of the present month is in monev considerably above that of any corresponding fortnight since 1928 and is nearly, if not quite, a record foi that period,' whilst the recent increase is large enough to assure a good return for the quarter. The inquiries, ol course, cover many in relation to trips to Melbourne for the centenary tele brations, but the actual transactions relate largely to trips to various parts ot Now Zealand.
