OBITUARY.
As we go to press comes the news that an old and valu'd worker in the Temperance cause has been called to Higher Service. Rev. F. W. Isitt passed away at his home in Dunedin on Saturday, November nth. Mr Isitt was one* of the earliest workers in the Prohibition cause, and to that cause he* gave unsparingly both time and strength. As Secretary of the New Zealand Alliance, he was well known throughout the Dominion, and the* kindly courtesy of his manner and the sweetness of his disposition won the love of hi* fellow-workers. The heavy and long-continued strain of the work told severely on his health, and some* six or seven years ago he had to retire from active work, and now the Master has called him to fuller knowledge and nobler service in God's more immediate presence.
