Strong allegations as to the non-observ-ance of the Sabbath in one of the rising townships on the Main Trunk line were made by the Rev. J. K. Archer, of Napier, in conducting a' home mission day service at one of the Auckland Baptist churches. One Sunday's programme in this township, he stated, consisted of a football match, a wood-chopping contest, and the pulling down of the old post "office. He added that he would let this story speak for itself. The Napier Hospital Trustees have received intimation that an endowment of land, valued at about £4OO, has been given for the benefit of a chronic sufferers' ward. The names of t»he donors have not been made public.
