Ordish, of the staff of the Australian School of Musketry. The hand-book is issued in accordance with official manuals for the use of officers and X.C.O.’s and men Of the Australian Military Force, and is. of course, useful in Xew Zealand as well as in Australia.

It is not anticipated that the trial will conclude before the end of this week.—Press Association. •‘The churches should be free and open.” remarked Dr A. W. Averill, Anglican Bishop of Auckland, in an address last week. “I am no believer In rented seats. The church is God's house, ami therefore should not be given up to any vested interest God Is no respecter of persons, and makes no distinction between rich and poor. I hope the day •will come when every church in this diocese will be free and open. I know there are difficulties in many cases, and where the seats are rented it is not always the fault of the clergy. Your church Is free and open, and I hope it always will remain- so.” There'was a soldier in the making who pleaded exemption from the church parade on the ground that he was an agnostic. The sergeant-major assumed an expression of innocent interest, and thought he would test the agnostic’s religious knowledge. ‘Don’t yop believe in the Ten Commandments?” he mildly asked the bold free-thinker. “Not one, sir,” was the reply. “What, not even the rule about keeping the Saddath?” “No, si-.” came the prompt reply. “Ah, •well,” said the officer, “you’re the man I've been looking for to scrub out the canteen.” In the Assessment Court on Saturday morning, before Messrs G. Cruickshank, S.M., H. J. Middleton and John Hanley, assessors, the Invercargill Golf Club protested against the Government valuation of its links at Otatara. Mr Eric Russell appeared for the club, while Mr Oswirt conducted the case on behalf of the department. The valuer contended That he was’justified in regarding Otutara as a semi-residential quarter, while the club was of opinion that its land, 130 acres In extent, should be valued from a purely agricultural point of view. After hearing the evidence of the department's valuers and of Mr F. J. Blalkie who valued the property for the dub, the assessors retired to consider the matter.. On re-entering, the Court Intimated that It proposed to sustain the unimprovfcd value Of £ls per acre, but •would reduce the value of improvements from £903 to Mr Blaikic’s estimate of £467. An indication of the phenomenally mild season can now be seen in the Winton district, says the Winton Record. Blue gum trees in full bloom, while there is an abundance of feed, and the district is in a flourishing condition. A DENIAL. Mr J.
