Boyd stated that a move was being made by the leaders of the Presbyterian and Anglican Churches, and the -Salvation Army to enlist the -services of. Mr W. J. Mayne, of Auckland, in a combined evangelistic 'mission in Queenstown. Mr Mayne is- one of the office bearers of the Presbyterian Church in Auckland and has been associated with the (session of the church for some considerable time. He isa powerful speaker and his work ns a missioner is of a high order. Mir Mayne has been communicated with and the result of the negotiations wilji be made known later. Private trustees who wish to be relieved of the responsibility and anxiety involved in the administration of an estate or trust and those Who as yet have not made a will should arrange for the appointment of the Perpetual Trustees Co. Ltd., Dunedin, who have all the machinery at hand to bear the burden of the many intricacies that frequently crop up in winding up deceased estates. The local representative is Mr 0. H. McKay. A young lad named Mitchell, son of Mr G.' Mitchell, narrowly escaped electrocution one day last week. The victim and another boy named Duff were playing on the roof of a house tenanted 1 by" Mrs J. Duff, and young Mitchell caught hold of the two wires leading into the house with the result that he suffered a severe shock and one of his hands was burnt. Thev boy lay prostrate on the root whilst the electrician, Mr W. Nelson, and Dr. Anderson were hastily summoned. The latter got on to the roof and brought the little sufferer on to the ground where he was attended to. We understand that the boy is progressing satisfactorily. The experience is one that he will .wet: easily forget and it should be a lesson to others not to interfere with the power wires or installation. Mr J. W. Smith, representative of D.S.A., announces that the dates of his visit to the district .as advertised last Issue have been advanced a week. The Queenstown visit will be from 14th to- 18th September, Glenorchy from 20th to 24th September and Arrowtown 25th to 29th Sept.
