The meeting was not largely attended, but those who were in attendance were treated to one of the most inspiring addresses ever given in Taihape. METHODIST CHURCH Special services conducted by Rev. G. H. Goodman were held in the Methodist Church on Sunday in connection with the church's 41st. anniversary.
