Dannevirke.

Vicar: Rev. E. Robertshawe, B.A. Curate: Rev. G. E. Kear. The long expected visit of our Bishop has taken place, when very hearty and devout services were held. The Bishop preached a very suggestive sermon m the morning from the text " Friend, come up higher," pointing out that this was God's message to men ; He addressed them as " Friends," and said " Live the higher life." In the evening the Bishop gave a very impressive sermon from the words of the prophet Elijah, " How lung halt ye between two opinions ?" He showed how that Christ offered Eternal life only on His own conditions, that when the rich young man, who was halting between two opinions, went away sorrowful having great possession, Christ did not follow him or lower His standard. The Bishop spoke very earnestly on the coming Mission as being a time of decision when, either men would turn to God or from God. Mr. Bower Knight took the Bishop m his motor car about part of the Parish, and on Saturday he visited a few of the leading Churchmen of Dannevirke. When the Bishop comes again to the Parish, he hopes to meet a number more m their homes.

The G.F.S. has now 60 members, . and meets every Tuesday m the Parish Hall. The Mothers' Union also is doing good Work,

On Saturday night the Bishop addressed the members of both Societies m the Parish Hall. His address will not easily be forgotten. BAPTISMS. Mavis Elizabeth Fairbrother.
