SOCIAL WORK.
[BY TELEGBAra. — MESS ASSOCIATION.! DUNEDIN, 19th June. The Presbyterian Church of Otago and Southland has had under consideration for some time the matter of a forward movement in social work. Hitherto the church has joined or assisted other churches or bodies, and tho idea appears to be to make the efforts distinctly Presbyterian, as, for instance, in tho matter of gaol, hospital,* and mental hospital work. As a largo proportion of funds of the Patients' and Prisoners' Aid Society was obtained from collection's made in various Piesbyterian churches, the- question of whether the society should be continued had to be seriously considered. The committee, believing public support will bo forthcoming, has decided to continue the operations of the society. Thero are also indications of Bible classes belonging to the same church making a forward move.
