A very pretty wedding was solemnised at St. Peter’s Church, when Elsie, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs F Gieen, was married to Cyril, second son of Mr and Mrs B. Barker, Akaro. The ceremony was conducted by the llev. C. Nelham Watson, vicar, and Miss D. Comer presided at the organ. 'The bride, who was escorted by her father, wore a dainty frock of shell pink georgette, the pleated skirt edged with sequins and caught at tho waist with a large pink rose. The filmy veil, lightly embroidered in pink rosebuds, was arranged from a • band of sequins and orange blossom, and she carried a shower bouquet of white and pink flowers. The attendant bridesmaid was Miss Ophir Mudge (Wellington). She wore an uncommon frock of champagne georgette, with vari-coloured embroidererv Her bouquet of autumn-tinted Howors harmonised with her head band of silver leaves. The two little flower girls were Betty Green and Dorothy Cargo, nieces of "the bride, both wearing pretty frocks of lavender and blue crepe de chine. They carried dainty little horse-shoes to tone with their frocks. Tho bridegroom was attended by his brother, Mr Ivan Barker, as best man. The reception, which was attended bv one hundred guests, was held in the Parish Hall, Temuka, Mrs Green, mother of the bride, received her guests wearing a. black and gold figured crepe de chine frock and smartl black hat to match. She carried a bouquet of autumn flowers. Mrs Barker, mother of the bridegroom, wore a smart frock of beige repp with hat to tone, and carried a bouquet of pink roses. Later in the day, Mr and Mrs C. Barker travelled north, the bride travelling in a smart costume of coloured repp, with hat to tone, and in beautiful fox furs, the gift of the bridegroom.

“THE JEW IN PROPHECY.” Continuing his addresses on the Jew at the Mission Hall, the Rev. O. W. Duncumb said: “From a human standpoint the Jew is the greatest fact in history. He is not a product of evolution, climate, or geography, as are other peoples. In special fashion the Jew was God-created. In spite of the obliquy and persecution he had suffered, the Jew might well be j>roud of his origin and his destiny.” Speaking from 'Ezekiel's prophecy and his vision of the Valley of Dry Bones, and of the two sticks which became one, the lecturer suggested that to-day those promises to the descendants of Abraham were in process of being fulfilled. The return of the Jews to Palestine under the mandate granted Britain, was quoted. One hundred thousand Jews had returned to Palestine since the war.. Again the persistence of the Jew was stressed. Time and again attempts had been made to exterminate them but they had outlived the Tudors, the Plantagenets, the Romanoff, the Babylonian Kings and the Egyption Pharoahs. The wealth of the Jew was remarked upon. The Jew held the key of the money chest of the world. The place the Jew occupied in the ranks of the world’s most eminent scientists was also remarked upon. Britain had had Lord Reading, a Jew, as Viceroy of India; Sir Herbert Samuel her representative in Palestine. But the Jew meant disruption with the world as well as gain. Spinoza, a Portuguese Jew, the father of modern Pantheism, was declared to lie the author of modern unbelief. Since the revolution, 21 Jpwr had virtually controlled Russia, Zmovieff, Keinenoff, Trotsky among them. Mustapha Kemal, the present leader of Turkey, was a Jew who in 1908 renounced Jewish orthodoxy. It was suspected that Mussolini was of Jewish origin. If not his leaders were ail Jews —Signor Ginzi, Minister of the Interior, and the four heads of the Black Shirts. This undoubtedly had influenced American bankers, mostly Jews, after first refusing towards the making to Italy of a loan of one hundred million dollars recently.

of all outstanding accounts, Mr Evans said that it showed a very satisfactory estimated profit. h The motion, seconded by'*Mr Hutcheson, was carried. The secretary reported . that there was a sum outstanding on unpaid fees by competitors and it was resolved-that the secretary write to these competitors requesting a settlement of the:* fees and failing payment within 21v(ldays, their liames be handed to the Centre. Tho secretary was instructed to forward a letter to Mrs C. J: sTaylor expressing appreciation of her coming to their assistance in taking control of the refreshment stall. At this juncture, Mr Evans said that he would like to refer to the critical report that appeared in a newspaper on the gathering. He would ask if any i-eason had been given why this attitude had been adopted. The president stated that on that day the Club were short of officials; indeed, some of the members carried on the work of two and oven three officials, at •fie time. The chairman claimed that out of courtesy oniy he had appointed a steward to attend to the pressmen. The Club was not bound in any way to supply a Press steward. - Subsequently it was reso’ved, on the motion of Messrs Shaw and Hutcheson. that the president, secretary and Mr Evans wait on the management of the newspaper concerned to dispuss the question.
