Progress.

A friend writes from Woodvillc, Hawke’s Bay: It has been decided to take steps for the formation of a Freethought Association here, and a meeting for that purpose has been called for Friday, the 25th instant. As there are many Freethinkers here, the movement will doubtless prove a success.

We have been asked to suggest the best way of going about the establishment of a Freethought Association. We shall give one method, and invite our friends to give a better. Where there are say six known Freethinkers, let them have a private meeting convened by word of mouth, when matters could be talked over, and arrangements made for calling by advertisement a meeting of all who desired to join the Association. At this meeting a provisional committee should be appointed to draw up rules and submit them at a future meeting. The permanent committee could be appointed when the membership rose to a certain number. That is all. The rest will follow as a matter of course.
