From authentic sources' the Auckland ' Star' learns " that Sir Joseph Ward has been offered no less than tinee seats during his stay in Great Britain—two in the Imperial Parliament and one in the new Irish Parliament. Although such inducements to enter wider fields of Imperial politics must be very alluring to a man of Sir Joseph's ability and outlook, it seems clear from what can be learnt of his intentions that he has no idea of de-serting-New Zealand by remaining at Home, for he has definitely expressed his resolve to return to the Dominion." We are informed that the Rev. Vallance Cook, the connexional evangelist of the English Wesleyan Church, is expected to open a mission in Invercargill on May 6. The evangelist will arrive in Dunedin on May 17, and his mission will continue to Juno 2. In addition to his work as an evangelist, Mr Coolc has found time to use his pen. and is the author of several books of a helpful character.
