When the subject of the Presbyterian Church organ, the “Outlook,” was befoiv the Christchurch Presbytery, tbe Rev J. C. Paterson thought the paper would have a larger circulation if it were,not a propaganda paper for prohibition. For months before the poll the “Outlook” was full of prohibition propaganda. Tie thought a vigorous effort to increase the paper's circulation should not bo made until after the poll bad been taken. Mr W. If. Rose thmight that the prohibition propaganda in the “Outlook" was a reason why the paper should be sent all over New Zealand. The Rev Dr R. Erwin: “Yes, there’s practically nothing in it but temperance stud! I don’t think they’re serving the purpose of the official organ of the Church. 1 agree that the ‘Outlook’ should have occasional blasts about prohibition, but they should not fill up tbe whole paper.’* On Saturday morning a male infant, entirely destitute fof clothing, was found lying on a footpath on a street in South Dunedin, states the “Otago Daily Times.” T'tvo boys who were on the street saw on infant being thrown over a galvanised iron fence, some 7ft in height. Tin infant landed cli the footpath close alongside the boys .who at once ran home and informed their mother, anil the child was promptly taken cam of. It appears that the mother of the infant, a single girl* of eighteen years ol age, had been an inmate' of an orphanage at Mncnndrew Road since babyhood and for some twelve months past bad been engaed in domestic servic’d in Southland. She returned to the institution a few weeks ago. It appears from the agirl’s own statement that some hours after the child’s birth she bad secretly removed it. ran with it, l.vrappwl in a lady’s coat across a paddock and threw if: over the fence and then returned to her bedroom. The infant, when found, was nearly perished with the cold, hut quickly revived under kind treatment and was lq£ei* ’removed to Knritane Home, where it is reported to be little worse of its adventure. The marvel is how the infant escaped with its lifts seeing that it fell a distance of over 7ft on to an asphalt footpath. The mother was removed to the hospital in the ambulance.
