A teacher was giving a lesson on Elijah’s contest with the prophets of Baal. “And why,” he asked “did Elijah pour water over the altar and the bullock ?” This was a poser, but a little boy at the back put up his hand tentatvively. “Well, Tommy, and what do you think?” “Please, sir,” replied Tommy, “to make the gravy.” With regard to the request to Mr Carnegie for money to build a library .in Palmerston North, the Mayor informs the Manawatu Standard that he has called a meeting of the Finance Committee to discuss ways and means of carrying out library extension independently of the charity of Mr Carnegie. The Mayor, as he made clear prior to his election, is strongly against the principle of a town of Palmerston’s resources accepting the assistance of Mr Carnegie.

A special meeting of the Manawatu Flaxmills Employees Union will be held in the Temperance Hall on Saturday next, June xst, at 7.30 p.m., to confirm business transacted at a previous meeting, after which Mr Westbrook will address members. All members are particularly requested to be present. At last night’s social, the Rev. Mr Wilson paid a flattering compliment to the Manawatu Herald. He said he did not think he could feel its loss so much until he left the district. When he arrived yesterday he figuratively devoured it. We appreciate the compliment.

An inset with this issue notifies that the sale of June bargains at George and Kersley’s, Ltd., Wellington, commenced on Thursday, 30th inst. The Post Office gives facility to every one, no matter how far distant, to participate in these special opportunities to buy cheap, as purchases to the value of twenty shillings are prepared to any address. The inset is worth while reading. Many settlers who are already paying high rates (says a correspondent of the Hawera Star) view with disgust the toll-gate system which the Hawera County propose to establish on the main roads. Were a less enlightened body than the Hawera Council to suggest such a thing at this stage of the colony’s history they would be laughed out of existence.

The Rev. Mr Woodward, at the S~cial last evening, mentioned during his speech, that certain church members had raised objections to his advanced church principles. While the rev. gentleman regretted this, he said he could not depart from those principles, and if members were not heart and soul with him in church work it would be preferable that that they should go elsewhere, and *he would raise no objection. The audacity of some sneak thieves is notorious, and this was exemplified lately in the Auckland district, when a lot of pumkins and melons were stolen from the garden of a resident in the Otahuhu township, an apron hanging on the clothes-line being borrowed in which to more conveniently remove the booty. The apron was subsequently replaced with a note attached expressing the thanks of the depredators for the assistance it had been to them.

By an oversight, the farewell social to the Rev. Mr Wilson, late vicar of All Saints’, and the welcome to the Rev. Mr Woodward, held last night, was not notified through the press. Consequently a number of Mr Wilson’s friends, outside the fold of the Anglican Church, who would have liked to be present, were debarred from attending. During Mr Wilson’s ministry in Foxton he endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact, and general regret was expressed when his removal to Rongotea was announced. Last night his late parishioners presented him and his sister, who is also a zealous Church worker, with a handsome sideboard.

Mr Jarrett’s physical culture classes are still on the increase, and last night’s roll call showed 25 ladies, and 38 men. It will be remembered that when Mr Jarrett was first requested to open classes in Foxton, he asked for a guarantee of 25 pupils for the two classes. This number has long since been exceeded, the ladies’ class alone reaching this total. Last Wednesday night week, flashlight photographs of both classes were taken specially for Sandow’s magazine, the paper of the physical culturist. They are both excellent specimens of the photograher’s art, and reflect great credit on the operator, Mr J. Stark. The members of both sexes are so enthusiastic in their work, and satisfied with the result of the instruction received, that they are continuously introducing new pupils. Still there is more to follow ! Mr Jarrett has not only proved himself a thoroughly competent teacher, but has the happy knack of keeping his pupils’ enthusiasm up to the standard. As he himself remarked with evident feelings of pride: They are all workers—no drones amongst them They are healthy specimens of physical culture. Mr Sandow’s lieutenant is indeed doing a good work.
