There was a very small attendance. They met in the centre of the town, and had seme singing, accompanied by tne captain on a concertina and some exhorting. They wear neat uniform, but appear to be very uneducated, Lieut Barford said he had been a costermonger in the East end of London. They have come without money, but have taken the Temperance Hall at £3OO a year, for three years, trusting in the Lord’s goodness to raise the money. F Their mission is to reach the degraded, drunken, and fallen. They will go to their houses and haunts and lure them to services with singing and bands of music- They will send officers from Dunedin to other towns, as they are enrolled.
