THE CHURCH ARMY.

Printing Press. — Mr. F. Day, of Christchurch, has nobly offered himself and his private-owned printing press to the Church Army, which offer has been accepted. For some years Mr. Day has been making a living from his work, and now feels that he would like to dedicate himself and his tools of trade for the furthering of the Kingdom of God and the Church. The printing press is to become the property of the Church Army. Mr. Day asked that little or no wages be paid him, but it has been decided to give him the pay and status of a C.A. officer (which pay is very little) and he will most likely be known as Capt.-Manager. .The press will be installed at Church Army Headquarters. As the distribution of Church literature is a special feature of the work of the Church Army, this gift will be a tremendous asset. It is a very refreshing thing that a young man of today, akin to the disciples of old, offers his all for the Kingdom of God. The fifth New Zealander to be accepted for probationary training is Mr. A. M. H. Dswar, of Masterton. He will be at the Church Army Headquarters from July 25th onward for his preliminary training. A sixth trainee is to be selected next month. Waiapu Diocesan Caravan.—Reports from Capt. Sutcliffe tell of good work being done m the Wairoa parish and district. A slight accident to the trailer van has been repaired. Part of the expense was

met by insurance, and the occasion of repairs was used to give the van an overhaul and to make necessary adjustments for the rough travel of the back-block districts. This has cost the C.A. £8 ss.
