The Presbytery commends this College, the I first Presbyterian Boys' College in the I South Island, to the consideration of heads of families within the bounds of the Presbytery, and prays that the blessing of God may rest upon this new' endeavour to extend the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ." Mr Whvte said that when carrying out the direction of the Presbytery to solicit support for the establishment of the Columba Girls' College he had found an urgent demand among families of the Presbytery for the prior | establishment of a Presbyterian Boys' College. It was appropriate, therefore, that the Presbytery should rejoice in the early establishment of this College. The Rev. "W.
