An interesting and instructive lecture was given by the Rev. A. B. Chappell, M.A., in the Methodist Schoolroom on Monday last. The lecture was entitled “ The Bible in English Literature.” The lecturer gave a graphic account of the romance attaching to the story of how from the original Hebrew and JJreek the Bible was translated successively ;nto the Latin and English tongues. The audience was made to live in imagination through tfre Stirling times in which Wyclif, TyndaJe) #n4 Coverdale passed, and to realise the almost insuperable difficulties under which their translations of the Bible were published. The lecturer showed the great advisability of using the Revised rather than the Authorised version, and concluded by giving a brief but illuminating description of the various forms of literature in-the Bible. audience could not do other than carry away a deeper sense of our great privilege in these days, of having, what 1 long was a translation of the Scriptures, accessible to aty. *

We would remind residents of the Manawaru and Gordon districts that on Sunday next the Rev. W. Blair will conduct public worship in those districts. The ordinary meeting of the Piako County Council will be held at the Council’s Office, Te Aroha, on Wednesday, 21st inst., at 10.30 a.m. Amongst the visitors to Te Aroha during the past few days we noticed the member forTaumarunui Electorate, Hon. W. Jennings. In the course of an interesting conversation with the hon. gentlemen, who, by the way, is a Journalist by profession, he remarked that he noticed many imprOienjeutf-in the appearance of the town. He always looked forward to a visit to Te Aroha, and spoke very highly of the curative properties of the mineral drinking waters. Wherever he went he felt it his duty to recommend Te Aroha as a health resort. A treat is in store for the residents of Waihou. The World’s Royal Pictures and entertainers give one of their popular shows on Wednesday next, 22nd, in the Waihou Public Hail. Should the Waihou people attend this show in large numbers, doubtless a return visit will be paid, and, perhaps, other companies induced to include Waihou in their programme. The prices mil suit all, viz., Is and Is 6d, to be followed by a dance. Our Cambridge contemporary says : Mr Moroney’s large estate at Tauwbare is broken up into four farms, the new owners being Messrs Scott, Jones, Clothier and Bellamy, the latter having the homestead and 500 acres. Mr Bellamy, although not a resident of the district, is well aud favourably known there, and has a reputation as a judge of sheep. The other buyers are from the South, Mr Clothier, our correspondent understands, being identical with the Mr O. Clothier, who polled so well, but unsuccessfully, in the contest for the Hurunui seat at the recent general elections. Mr Casey, formerly manager of Mr Moroney’s estate, is now installed on the farm he purchased from Mr Luxford, at Tauwhare. We have another candidate out for Municipal honours in the person of Mr Thos. Stanley, senr. This gentlemen has at last been prevailed upon to offer his services to the Burgesses of Te Aroha. Mr Stanley, senr., is one of earliest settlers having been in the district for something like' 30 year 3, and should b( in a position to know the requirements of our Borough. In the past Mr Stanley has done much to push Te Aroha anc the surrounding districts ahead, an< now having retired from business ha plenty of leisure time to devote to th looking after the Burgesses interest. During an address at a temperam meeting at Carterton recently the Re W. J. Elliott referred to the telegraph communication just received that tl New South Wales Drink Bill for 1908 viz., £5,363,579, being £3 7s 6d p head for the population, and said th the hugo sum could have been utilise thus It would have built two Drea( noughts for the British navy at a 'co of two and a half millions each, t< pipe organs at a cost of £BOO eacl supported the experimental farm in tl Wairarapa for the next twenty years a cost of £2,000 a year, allowed Wt lington and Auckland each £50,000 f improvements to wharves and harbou have given the four chief cities in New Zealand no less than £30,000 each for educational purposes, have provided twenty fine churches at a cost of £3,000 each, then there would have been enough left to have given £25,000 to the unemployed fund, £12,000 to charitable aid boards, and £579 to the Wellington hospital. We are pleased to record that in the results of the creamery management competition, cai/ied out by the New Zealand Dairy Association, the Manawaru factory appears third on the list of prize winners, The previous manager of the Manawaru factory (W. J. Shaw), who is now stationed at Kihikihi, came first. We congratulate Mr Thomson on his success. Set out on a percentage of marks the results are as follows : Kihikihi : W, J. Shaw, 96.75 marks, first prize ; awarded silver cup valued £7 7s presented by the manager, and cash prize £5. Te Awamutu : H. H. Hutt, 94-75 marks, second, £4, Manawaru : J, Thomson, 93,75 marks, third, £3. On previous occasions the Lower Waikato has held pride of place, and with a little more effort may possibly regain that position. A similar contest will be held during the coming season, when he hopes to offer a silver challenge oup of increased value, which would need to be won either three times in succession or four times at intervals, before becoming the final property of the winner.
