DICKENS FELLOWSHIP
A SPIRITED DEBATE “That Dickens, the writer, was as great in pathos as in humour,” was the subject of the debate at the fortnightly meeting of the Auckland Dickens’ Fellowship last evening. There was an excellent attendance. Messrs. W. J. Scott and J. Macadm opened the debate in the affirmative and negative respectively. The debate was spirited and in proof of the views advanced was marked by a wealth of instance and allusion. No vote was taken, but at the request of the meeting, the president, the Rev. A. B. Chappell, who was in the chair, summed up. During the evening Mrs. J. D’Authreau contributed a character sketch of Betsy Trotwood and Miss Statham and the president gave readings. It was announced that the August meetings would be devoted to “Barnaby Rudge” and “Dickens, the Journalist.”
