Everything was well organised and of the best - and that includes lunch and a Bring & Buy stall for Overseas Work, which brought in at least £150, to say nothing of the inspiration given by a gathering of several thousand.

Last Thursday our own branch had its first meeting as is customary, a Service in Church, with a most helpful and interesting address by Mr. Ambrose on the women of the Bible. Tea and an informal meeting in the Vicarage followed.

October 6th - Scottish Dancing - Members Discussion.

Next year sees the Centenary of the Salvation Army. It is unfortunate and inevitable that there will always be the need for their Hostels and highly efficient Missing Relatives Department. Unorthodox, evangelical, world-wide, and renowned for their prowess with hot soup and tambourines, how sad it is that they should have to be "Servants of all".

Twenty-five members supported the meeting.
