ST. CLAIR PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. The South Dunedin Presbyterian Church choir went to St. Clair last night and gave an entertaiument at the gymnasium in aid of the fund for providing a new class room for the Sunday school of the St. Clair Presbyterian Church. This kindly offer of assistance was keenly appreciated by tho St. Clair people, and their thanks were heartily expressed. Tho entertainment consisted of a programme of sacred music and the cantata ' The New Jerusalem,' the whole affair being under the direction of Mr T. J. Brownell, with Miss Brownell at the organ and .Mr W. Beck at the piano. As Mr J. C. M'Clymont was indisposed, his solos were taken by Mf Rawlinson. Other soloists were Mrs Grace. Mrs Dowden, Miss Nellie Taylor, Miss Netta Thomson, Messrs J. D. Cameron, C. Graco, K. Skew, and C. Trim.
