Dear friends and parishioners. — I wish to take this opportunity of submitting a very brief report of the work of the chinch during the past year which especially belongs to the clergyman. Visiting — I have been able to visit every parishioner, with some exceptions, three times during the year, and I have been most kindly welcomed. Communicants— The number on the roll is juat 100, a very small number considering the size of the parish. I sincerely hope it will be largely increased during the year Baptisms — Fifty-five children have been baptised, and one adult. Confirmation— The Bishop of the diocese confirmed seventeen persous on the 21st December. Marriages — There have been live mar riages, all by license. Burials — Fifteen burials have taken ptace. Bible Class — I began a Bible class early in the year. At one time we had over 30 on the roll, but latterly the attendance h=»s been very irregular. I shall welcome the co-operation of more of the adult membeis of the church. We want a more commodi ous room for our meetings. j Church Workers — An association of church workers was formed at the end of January. Spesial services are held on the first Wednesday in every month, and a celebration of the Holy Communion on the second Sunday in every quarter.
