Sunday school work, which was abandoned some months ago, owing to a difficulty in obtaining teachers, is to be again revived, under the superintendence of the Rev Walko, of Eketahuna. It is to be hoped that his efforts on behs.lf of the children throughout the.district will meet with the success they deserve. On Thursday night a euchre tournalrient in aid of school funds was held in' tho hall. About fifty persons were present, and a very enjoyable time was spent.
