APPEAL TO YOUNG PEOPLE. The mission being conducted at St. Andrew’s Church, Stratford, by Mr. John Miller, Auckland, has entered the second week.

The church Was crowded to capacity. On Wednesday night an address discussed what the rejection or choice of Christ involved. On Thursday the subject was “The healing of Naaman the leper. The missioner explained how Naaman s difficulties were the difficulties of people to-day. . , . The mission will end to-morrow night. REALTONE TALKIES. “SONG OF THE PLOUGH.” One of the traditional songs of the English countryside is a prominent feature of “Song of the Plough,” the Sound City production being presented on circuit at Whangamomona to-night. .This is the famous "pig” song, which is so old, having been handed down from father to son through the years, that the meaning of many of the words is obscure. It is sung in the film by Albert Richardson, the sexton of Burwash, the home of Rudyard Kipling. The song is Mr. Richardson’s speciality and he has made a gramophone record of it, almost 70 000 copies of it having been sold. For the filming of his song Mr. Richardson undertook, apart from his London expedition, the longest journey he has ever made. The recording of his song took longer than he expecteo and a special car was chartered to take him back to Burwash in time for him to toll the bell for the morning service.
