Beliefs and theories of all kinds should bo brought into touch with this stono of testing when tlieir worth or worthlessness will immediately be seen. Never was there such a plethora of beliefs aucl thories claiming betterment for mankind. Let us bring them to the touchstone for testing on Sunday night. All will bo warmly welcomed.

The special preacher at St. Andrew’s Church to-morrow will be Rev, Alan Watson, M.A., of Christchurch, who is coming up specially to conduct tho services. Ho is perhaps the most outstanding of the young men in the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand. Being elected as assistant to First Church, Dunedin, as lie was, immediately on leaving Theological Hall, signifies a young man of marked promise. He now occupies one of tho leading Presbyterian churches in New Zealand, >St. Pauls, of Christchurch, and despite his youth is discharging the many-sided duties of this exacting position with marked distinction.
