DUNEDIN CENTRAL MISSION.
REPORT TO METHODIST . CONFERENCE. (Pee United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, February 26. The detrimental effect upon the Dunedin Methodist Central Mission congregations of Sunday evening band concerts and railway and motor bus excursions was mentioned in a report presented to the Methodist Conference now sitting in Wellington. The problem thus created was being grappled with as far as possible. The social work of the mission was stated to be steadily growing, a fact which emphasised the necessity for the services of a second deaconess. Sister Hazel’s activities amongst the women and girls both in the mission and out of it continued to- win the admiration of all who knew her work. The aim of the superintendent of the mission (the Rev. G. B. Hinton) was to make the missions social welfare activities second to none in the city. With the generous help of Dunedin Methodism, as a preaching centre, the mission held a unique place in the city, attracting many worshippers who otherwise would probably not be found attending any church. The mission and its minister were congratulated by the conference on the good work being accomplished.
