SILENT DIVISION.
THEY DIDN'T SING. WATCHERS IN DOORWAY. t AT RECRUITING RALLY. Newsy as the man who bit the dog is the man who doesn't sing at a community sing. His silence marks him as a man apart—an untouched depth of vocal exuberance. To-day, while voices echoed, trebled, quavered, rumbled and swung in chorus at the Auckland Town Hall Concert Chamber, where the regular Friday "recruiting community sing" , was in progress, a "silent division" gathered in the doorway. Passing about their lawful occasions down the busy channel of Queen Street they had heard. . . and, hearing, wondered. .... and, wondering, wandered, until they were one with the watchers.
