The city branch of the Salvation Array ia at present celebrating its Harvest Festival Services. The attendances so far have far exceeded those of previous years. The hall in Chester Street has been tastefully decorated with fruit and produce, which will be sold later. On Sunday the. services were conducted by Staff-Captain and Mrs Thurkettla, the subject of the address in' the morning being "The Palm Tree" and in the evening, "Who Am I?" This evening's proceedings will fitly express the idea of the celebrations.

Tomorrow the Sydenham Band and songsters will provide the programme, and on Wednesday a concert will be given by the city branch.
