IN Northern Ireland the Life-boat Service has been receiving very valuable help from the Boys' Brigade during the last two or three months. The Belfast Battalion has made a systematic house to- house collection in the city of Belfast, and has raised nearly £300 for the Lord Mayor's Centenary Fund. Mr. W. A. T.Ewing, C.P.A., was the organizer of the effort, and to him and the Executive of the Brigade its great success is largely due.

In Larce the local Company~of the Brigade has collected £16 in the same way, and similar collections are being made in Carrickfergus, Bangor, and Carnlough.
