Wo are much indebted both to the organist and tho choir for their great devotion to their work, and their steady aim to do all in their power to promote congregational singing. The lay readers hare dono good work dur ing the year, 'and 'we are glad to take this opportunity of thanking Messrs 35. W- Andrews, WV Corry, A. J. Bridge water. S. T. Fitzherbert, Basil Taylor, and Mr Parker for their valuable aid. The- Snnday .'Schools — Christ 'Church (Mr Moloy, superintendent), St .John's (Mr H.U.S. Taylor, superintendent) and St. Laurence (A^E. Aston, superinten dent)— arfe .continuing to dp good work. We regret to record the loss through removal from the district) 08 Mrs.Hos kins, to whom the prosperous condition of- the Sunday School at Aramoho is largely due. Mr Babbage has been elect ■' ed superintendent, of. the Brotherhood of St. Andrew in place- of our 'late superintendent, Captain G-. W. Collins, who has gone to his reward. We rejoice for the good work which has been car ried out Dy the Brotherhood. The-Arcb bishop of Canterbury strongly reoom .mends the work of the Brotherhood in England, and hopes to see it largely ex tended. Christ Church Sunday School still supports a scholar from Norfolk Is land, and St. John's and St. Laurence's Sunday Schools also support the mis sion. The collection, for the general church fund is. late this year, but it does not appear to be in any danger of being less than in former years. This is very encouraging in view of the many calls upon the congregation. The self denial offerings are less than on former occasions. In -addition to the organisa^ tion carried on by the Rev. A. 0. Wil liams for the Maori and Melanesian missions, a special mission has been or ganised in the parish for work amongst the Maoris on the Wanganui River. A committee has been formed under the presidency of the vicar, with Mrs Grif fiths as secretary and treasurer, a sum of jE29 has been collected and deposited in the P.O. Savings Bank, .and the com mittee are prepared 'to go forward with the works as soon as a suitable man can be found. Mrs Medley, of Wellington, has kindly promised substantial sup-, port if it is required. The Guild of Church Decorators have done good work during the year.
