Bulls was tho centre for tho annual ! rally of the Palmerston North Bible Class j district on Monday, and over 150 dele- | gates gathered from all parts of the district. Their enthusiasm, combined with glorious weather, helped to make it one of the most successful rallies for some years. The delegates, on arrival, were met at the Town Hall, and morning tea was | served as many had come long distances, I some leaving their homes before 7 a.m. The proceedings commenced at 10.30 a.m. with a combined devotional meeting in the church, led by Rev. W. J. Berry (Rongotea), following which the young men and young women separated for sectional meetings. The former met in Clifton Hall and discussed various questions relating to the Bible classes. The ladies remained in the church and were addressed by Mrs Reid (Wanganui). At i noon all met in the Town Hall supper , room, where lunch was partaken of. The delegates afterwards wended their way to the Domain, where a sports programme occupied the whole of tho afternoon. There | was keen competition between the various J classes for the sports banner, which has been held by Marton for the past two I years. This time Palmerston North out- | fields classes succeeded in winning it, and ! members are to be congratulated on their ! fine performance, and all classes for tho | sporting spirit in which they contested j the events. The leading classes scored tho following points:—Palmerston North Outfields, 61; St. Andrew’s, Palmerston North, 51; Marton, 46; Bulls, 25. Afternoon tea was served by the members of the Bulls class. Rev. J. Hubbard, M.A., 8.D., president of the district committee, presented the banner to the winning team, remarking that it was pleasing to note that the coveted trophy was circulating among the classes.
