On Wednesday, July 58, the 28th Traffic Control Corps will hold a dance. Mrs Ashton’s Orchestra will provide the music. Revival Prayer Fellowship. The leader of the Revival Prayer Fellowship, established in Auckland recently, the Rev Fred C. Every,, is spending a few days with his brother, Mr R. H. Every, in Carterton, where he will speak on “The Benefit of Prayer” at the Intercessory service on Wednesday next at 7 p.m. The Revival Prayer Fellowship is not actually “some new thing” as may be supposed but an effort to co-operate with and further extend the influence of the world wide Revival Prayer movement which was established by a group of missionaries in China some 19 years ago. Mr Every has some interesting facts of answered prayer to relate, and is seeking to enrol “prayer partners” to pray for a world wide spiritual awakening before the war ends, believing this alone can bring about a righteous peace. Personal Items. The engagement is announced of Shirley Constance, elder daughter of Mr and Mrs H. Colson, Carterton, to Corp. Edward John Artz, U.S.M.C., second son of Mr and Mrs H. A. Artz, Pottsville, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. The funeral of the late Mr Wm. Rossiter took place yesterday and was well attended. The pall-bearers were Messrs A. E. Reid, K. H. Reid, H. J. Bassett, H. R. Blade, C. Olliver and G. Garratt. The Druids’ burial service was read by Bro H. J. Bassett. Services at the residence of Mr Blade and at the graveside were conducted by Messrs H. Manning and P. Griffen. Many beautiful wreaths were sent by relatives and friends.
