A large and representative gathering was present at the Salvation Army citadel on Sunday night to meet Commissioner and Mrs Hay who are making a farewell tour of New Zealand. Also present were Brigadier Wilson (privafro secretary;. Brigadier Harewood (Training College principal), and Lieut.-Colonel Carmichael divisional commander). The commissioner briefly referred to his period of three years spent in New Zealand, and Hie happy experiences he had had of the kindness and hospitality of the people, expressing himself as delighted with the progress that had been made in the Salvation Army. Later on in his address the commissioner referred to the drift that was apparent in the world, the lowering of the spirituaKstandards and the rcsult/ant decay in the normal tone, all of which were things to be deplored in the life of a young country. He knew this, for his travels from end to end of the Dominion had given him unique opportunities for observation. The lack of spiritual knowledge, owing to the absence of tne , r Bible from the schools cf the Dominion, was also to be regretted. He concluded his address with a strong appeal for personal and national righteousness. Mrs Hay also briefly addressed the gathering. GENERAL. Hon.- J. G.
