The 69th anniversary' of the Carterton Methodist Church was celebrated yesterday, there being very good congregations both in the morning and evening. Special music by the choir was a feature of the services. The preacher in the morning was the . Rev. J. A. Daglish, who took as his subject “The Church in the World Today.” He paid a tribute to the pioneers who first founded the Methodist Church in the Wairarapa and later in Carterton. Their hearts had been fired by enthusiasm by their great leader. John Wesley, who after his own heart had changed, was compelled to go out in highways and byways to preach the word of God. The evening service was taken by the Rev. H. S. Kings, of Mastertifn, who delivered an impressive address on “What of the Church." A special feature of the service was the singing of the anthem “Sweet is the Sunlight,” Mrs M. W. Worsfold taking the solo part. There was a full choir. Three boys from the Masterton choir were present and rendered acceptably a trio. The collection in the evening was in aid of the Church Trust Fund and it should benefit materially as a result. On Tuesday the anniversary tea will take place. OBITUARY MR WM. STOODLEY. After an illness extending over a long period there passed away at the Masterton Hospital last evening, Mr Wm.
