Tauranga is over-churched, and the Wesleyans at bheir Districb Meeting have resolved to approach, the Presbyterian body wifch a view to either ono or the other re tiring from the districb, in order to provide a decent living for bhe parson whose lob may be cast to remain. The feeling of the meeting was that if the VVesloyans re tired from Tnurunga, the Presbytorians should surrender control to tho Wosleyans in soma other over-churched settlement, or vice versa, and if thought dosirablo they will refer tho Tauranga matter to tho Unibed Evangelical Council to decide which body should vacate that field of labour in favour of the other. This ia the first prac tical step taken in a project thab has been much talked aboub.
