On Monday night Captain King, a Church Army officer, gave a most interesting and instructive lantern lecture - in St. James's Sunday School-room, Otane. There was an excellent attendance, and the lecturer spoke briefly on all aspects of the Army 's work, the pictures shown illustrating its magnitude. An idea of the vast amount of work accomplished was the employment Of over 200 clerks at headquarters in London. The Army 'g housing scheme alone was a big undertaking, and hundreds of houses had been built every year to house the larger and poorer families from the slum areas of the big cities in England. A special tribute was paid to the founder of the Church Army, the Rev. Wilson Carlile, and his sieter, both of whom had devoted their lives to the work, and to many others who had given up lucrative positions to work for God and humanity. Waipukurau Tenuis Ball.
