Salmond. The Rev. G. H. M’Neur spoke on the work and influence of Christian missions in China. The camp father was Dr Salmond, and the camp chairman was Mr C. K. Melville. The inter-Bible class athletic competition was held on Saturday afternoon, and was attended by a number of parents and visitors. The athletic shield, awarded for most points, was won by St. Clair, with Maori Hill a close second. About 75 young women camped in the Green Island School. The theme for the
