I hope all those who have expressed themselves in favour oi tho idea — and many others of our circle as well — will join me in trying to make the project a thorough success, and a means of rendering our " Cosy Corner" of the Witness even more interesting and attractive than it has hitherto been. There has been some little difficulty in fixing the limit of contributions, and that now chosen is provisional, and may require to be altered at a future date, when experience proves ho\T it works. I irust we shall enjoy the innovation, and I rely on all my correspondents ■who arfe interested to do their best to make the project a success. As I shall only choose the subject and edit the contributions sent in, using my discretion as to accepting, cutting down if too long, etc., it is of course clear that ths interest and success of our club lies •with you.
