McKillop during the latter's absence in the south, says the "Barcoo Independent " of the 12th instant, left Blackall yesterday morning by motor car for Barcaldine en route to Brisbane. Dur-ing his stay here Dr. Conrick made him-self very popular with all classes.

The members and adherents of the Blackall Methodist Church on Monday evening last farewelled the Rev. A. L. Evans, who for the last sixteen months has filled the position of home missionary in connection with the Barcaldine circuit, but who is now leaving to take up the charge of the Noosa circuit, says the "Bar-coo Independent" of the 12th instant. The gathering took place in the Foresters' Hall and was well attended, there being a number of friends from other denomi-nations present. In the course of the evening Mr. Schoon, on behnlf of the members of the congregation, presented the departing minister with a handsome

dressing case elegantly fitted. He paid a high tribute to the many estimable quali-ties which Mr. Evans had displayed whilst in charge of the district and to the energy and resource he had exhibited in promoting the cause of Methodism. He hoped that as a young minister Mr, Evans would be spared to do many years work in the Master's vineyard, and in taking charge of a new district they all wished him abundant success. Mr. Evans thanked the congregation for the tan-gible token of their appreciation. The proceedings were diversified by a number of musical selections, recitations, and games in which the younger amongst those present freely joined. Light re-

freshments were served. Altogether a very enjoyable time was spent.

Lieutenant Francis Pringle Taylor died suddenly on the 16th of February, says the Sydney "Daily Telegraph" of the 12th instant. The cause of death was a sudden heart attack. A son of the late Rev. Robert Taylor, of Blairgowrie, Scotland, he was born in Edinburgh and joined the navy as a cadet in 1866. After serving in several ships he was invalided and came to Australia in 1879, where from 1880 to 1884 he was lieutenant in command of the colonial corvette Wolverine. In 1884 he raised a volunteer naval artillery corps at Sydney. In 1885 he was pro-

moted to commander of the Wolverine. From 1889 to 1892 he served in the Queens-

land gunboat Gayundah as first lieutenant, and was later promoted to the position of naval commandant under the Queens-land Government. In 1899 he returned to England and settled at Saltash, and in 1901 was given charge of the Naval Em-ployment Agency at Devonport. His wife was a daughter of the late Rev. W. J. M. Hillyar and granddaughter of Admiral

William Hillyar.
