Ho will be joined by 10 more members of the movement, eight men and two women, who are on board the Rangitiki, now on the way to New Zealand.
Captain Banyard said they intended to begin the campaign in ChristcHurch, and gradually work through the South Island to Dunedin. Then they would come back to Wellington and work through the North Island, as far as Auckland. The Church Army, Captain Banyard said, was established 50 years ago. It was an organisation attached to the Church of England, and was concerned mainly with evangelistic and social work. At the invitation of the bishops and clergy the army was now extending its activities to New Zearnnd. It adhered to no one church party; all were able to take part in its activities.
