During the service the choir rendered "Abide With Me," Miss Lambournc and Mr. Steel taking the solo parts.

Professor Dunlop, D.D., of Dunedin, who died last week, and who was for 20 years a figure of great influence in church life in New Zealand. The musical portion of the service was conducted by Mr. K.
