Methodist Sunday School, Nelson

‘A lively discussion followed the reading of “Blanco Posnet,” by Mr. A. Hobson, M.A., at the Men’s Circle in Church Street Methodist Sunday School last Friday evening. This novel [sic] by George Bernard Shaw depicted a rough mining camp where the lives of the miners was a pattern of egotism and demoralisation. It was a rather bewildering sort of book for the Men’s Circle, but they showed great interest in the speaker’s explanation of what the writer had in mind’. Nelson Leader, Friday 28 October 1949.
