METHODIST BIBLE CLASS CAMP. Pour camps for the Canterbury section of the Methodist Young Women’s Bible Classes were held during Easter, one being at “Dinting,” Temuka, when thirty-five girls again accepted Miss Brown’s hospitality.. The camp was under the control of Miss Brown (camp hostess), Mrs Hutt, Waimate, camp mother; Miss E. Elliss (Timaru) chief officer, and Miss M. Hancox, secretary. The days were occupied with tennis, physical exercises, and the special Bible study, “One Increasing Purpose.” Each evening, after a social hour, interesting and instructive addresses were given by the chief officers. On Sunday the morning service at the Methodist Church was conducted by the Rev. Blakemore, assisted by members of the Young Women’s Camp I from Winchester, and the Young j Women from “Dinting.”

A picnic to Geraldine Bush on Saturday afternoon was a very pleasant outing. At sports and visitors’ afternoon on Monday, the campers were pleased to receive a visit from the Mayor and Mrs Gunnion. Rain interfered with the sports, so, after being served with a dainty afternoon-tea, the visitors were entertained with music and elocution. The senior sports championship was won by Miss Eileen Huglison, of Christchurch, and the junior by Miss Myra Longson, of Temuka. The campers disbanded on Tuesday. OBITUARY. On the morning of Easter Monday last there passed away an old resident of Temuka, in the person of Mr James Morgan. Born at Downpatrick, County Down, Ireland, in 1837, the late Mr Morgan had reached the advanced age of 93 years. His demise was not unexpected, as he had been ailing for some time, and during the past twelve months he had been faithfully attended by the Rev. Father Tymons, of St. Joseph’s Church, Temuka. The late Mr Morgan came to New Zealand in the year 1862, in the ship “Andrew Jackson,” and landed at Port Chalmers. For some, years he followed up the gold diggers, proceeding to the West Coast, where for a time he spent quite an eventful life. At one time, he and other miners were camped in the next tent to the Burgess and Levy gang. Mr Morgan was present at the trial of the murderers later. He experienced all the trials and hardships incidental to the lives of the miners of those days. After leaving the diggings on the West Coast, he came to Canterbury, settling at Waimate. About 55 years ago he came to Temuka, where he resided until his death. For some years he was engaged in forming the permanent way for portions of the railway line between Waipara and Cheviot, and Christchurch and Timaru. Up to 84 or 85 years of age, he still was able to do heavy shovel work. His wife predeceased him six years ago, and he leaves two sons and a daughter —James, Patrick, and Mary (Mrs P. O’Connor)—all residents of Temuka.

The funeral of the deceased took place yesterday, solemn Requiem Mass being performed by the Rev. Father Tymons, at St. Joseph’s Church, the service at the graveside being attended to by the Rev. Father Campbell. The pall-bearers were Messrs T. Daly, T. Greelish, and P. Lynch (old friends of the deceased), and P. O'Connor (son-in-law J.

BOWLING. The Oamaru Easter bowling tourna- j ment reached finality on Tuesday, and the Temuka rink, which comprised F. A. Joynt, W. McCallum, L. Hunt and T. Edwards (s), defeated the Mataura rink consisting of W. Stewart, R. Malcolm, T. Cameron and W. P. Thorn (s) in the final of the Oamaru rinks. This is the second occasion in three years that Temuka has won this much-coveted trophy. The final was played on Phoenix old green, and the play was of a very high standard. A very large crowd watched the game. Stewart and Malcolm found the strength of the green, and placed two bowls close to the kitty. Hunt drew in for a second shot, but Thorne, with his first bowl, drew another shot, which Edwards rested out. Thorn tried to promote his short bowls, but was wide, and Edwards, with a beautiful bowl, rested out the short bowl, and lay two up. Both leads were wide and heavy in the third head, and McCallum drew the shot a yard in front of the jack. Malcolm’s second was a toucher, but it ran a yard through the head. Cameron trailed the jack for two, but Hunt drew in for second place, a foot from the jack. The skips failed to alter the position. Mataura 3, Temuka 2.

Portraying a character that every theatre-goer can understand and sympathise with, Emil Jannings scores another tremendous triumph in his latest ( Paramount starring picture, “Sins of' the Fathers,” which is to be screened at Temuka to-night. As a GermanAmerican, Jannings is ideally cast for the part that he portrays. In “Sins of the Fathers” Jannings plays the . role of Wilhelm Spengler, a GennanAmerican waiter and saloon keeper, who becomes fabulously rich, only to have his life crash around his shoulders. In the leading feminine role is Ruth Chatterton. Her role is one which will serve to introduce her to screen audiences under the best auspices. Barry Norton and Zasu Pitts •are also in the cast. Entertaining supporting pictures will also be screened.
