STRANDED RELATIONS

BETWEEN A VICAR A.\T> His ■ CHOIR. (United Pi: ess Association.) Arf'KLANI). Sept. 13. A peculiar situation has :!>■•-; ut in «tnnecti'H; with the choir of •->,. Scpale.'--e's Anglican Church, and a < -limax 'was reached o!i Sunday la.-i, v. hen the ir.de members, did not. appear in their usual places at either morning or even ng .-• lrvice. A difference 01 opinion has existed for some time pa.-t between the Vicar. Rev. A. Richards, and the choir in regard to seating arrangements. Hitherto the men and boys have be.n seated in the chancel of the church and the l dies in the nave, just outside the chain e! rails. Owing to changes in the personnel of the choir, the members came to the conclusion that a different grouping of voices was desirable, and the Vicar's permission was asked to a scheme of rearrangement, which involved the seating of the ladies in the chancel. To this the Vicar -would not asrree. maintaining that it was against Ecclesiastical custom. The members pointed out that in the past ladies had been accustomed to sitting in the chancel of St. Sepulchre's, and that all other large Anglican churches in Auckland adopted the same practice. The male members of the choir have apparently decided not to resume their choral duties until a satisfactory settlement is arrived at. On the other hand, the Vicar states that the matter would be carried forward -and would not be dropped until a settlement had been reached. —Post Correspondent.

A TREACHEROUS TROUBLE. Kidney diseases aro very dangerous; they coire on silently, gain ground rapid ly, and cause thousands of deaths th.it could have been prevented by proper treatment iu the- beginning. Nature gives early warnings of kidney disease — backache, twinges of pain when stooping or lifting, headaches and disorders. If these symptoms are unheeded there is grave danger of dropsy or fatal Blight's disease. Doan's Backache Kidney" Pills have earned a reputation for their effectiveness in kidney troubles, and aro known and recommended the world over. Here is a case: Air W. T. Liley, Harrpdon street. Nelson, says:—"For some time I was almost crippled with awful pains in my back : I could not stoop without suffering agony, in fact, it was only with great difficulty that I managed to get about at all. I knew my kidneys were at fault, for the secretions were disordered and I was also troubled with dizzy attacks. The constant backache prevented me from getting proper rest at night and this made me always tired and lan guid. One day when I was feeling pretty bad a friend advised me to try Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, so I sent for a bottle. After taking them for a few days I felt a little better and from then on my health rapidly improved, four bottles curing me completely. That was two years ago .and I have had no return of kidney troubles since." Doan's Backache Kidney Pills aro sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3? per bottle (s.x bottles ICs 6d), 0 r will be posted on receipt of price bv Foster McClellan Co., 76 Pitt street, Sydney. But, be sure you get DOAN'S.
