Votes of thanks were accorded to all who had assisted, special mention being made of the children, both for their fine performance at the concert and for the energy displayed in the selling of tickets. The presence of the Salvation Army Band from Levin was much appreciated, and the playing greatly enjoyed. During the evening Captain Bain, of the Levin Corps, briefly addressed the gathering, and expressed pleasure at the success of the gathering and the good work being done by the Sunday School in Koputaroa.
