A remark at a recent meeting of the •Palmerston North Rotary Club brought a burst of laughter. The speaker, Mr J. Linklater, M.P., had stated that he was addressing those present with a certain amount of diffidence, well knowing there were accomplished speakers in his audience. He could see even the minister of his church seated in comfort, the positions thus being reversed, the speaker being before an audience and the preacher in a pew. “Has he gone to sleep yet?” came in a quick remark from a club member and the resulting laughter drowned any reply.
