LOCAL AND GENERAL.

The Salvation Army is commencing a Sunday school at Ararata to-morrow-afternoon, at one o’clock. For some time there has been no Sunday school at this place, and the Army hopes the parents will appreciate the efforts of the Army in endeavoring to minister to the spiritual welfare of the children. The Hawera. Baptist Church is celebrating its Sunday School anniversary on Sunday. Features of interest will be the singing of the scholars; addresses by the Rev. L. C. H. Barbour; and at 2.45 p.m. the carrying out of the usual primary programme along lines of modern methods. This will be led by Mrs L. C. H. Barbour. A warm welcome has been extended to people who may wish to attend the services.

The winner of the “Now or Never” art- union was Mr Monro Clark, of Mount Eden, who received not only £2OOO, hut also the £SOO which was offered .for the seller of the winning ticket. Mr Clark was employed in the office of the organiser, being engaged in the dispatching department. He purchased a. book of tickets just as it was open for anyone to do. and on the stub of the winning ticket he- wrote his name as “H. Manro.” He was present at the drawing of the prize-win-ners! on Monday evening, hut did not realise till Tuesday evening that the name “H. Munro” was himself. He was checking over tho stubs to discover who had sold the winning ticket when' he saw his name entered in his own handwriting.

Preliminary notice is given of the grand ball to be held by the Okaiawa Rugby Club on Thursday, May 5. An energetic committee under the hon. secretary, Mr. G. Hurley, is making all arrangements to ensure success.
