GUILD OF HELP COMMUNITY OF THE SACRED NAME ANNUAL MEETING The annual meeting of the Guild of Help attached to the Community of the Sacred Name was held at Church House yesterday afternoon, Mrs J. Cracroft Wilson presiding over an attendance of about 50. Mrs Cracroft Wilson said that the large attendance showed the increased interest that was being taken in the work of the guild. The annual report showed that the year had been one of the greatest anxiety. The total subscriptions amounted to £362; in the good years they reached £SOO and £6OO. It had been necessary to draw on the savings bank account. Two years ago the deposit in the bank was £170; at the end of the present financial year it was £sl. To-day the balance in the bank was £9 12s lid. Subscriptions this month amounted to £2O, and it was earnestly hoped that they would come in more freely. From April to August they nad received only £63 16s 4d and had paid out £172 18s 4d, the balance being drawn from the bank account. It would be realised, said Mrs Cracroft Wilson, that in such a society it was impossible to economise. Election of Officers. The election of officers resulted as follows:—President, Mrs Cracroft Wilson; honorary treasurer, Miss R. L. Ross; honorary secretary, Miss M. Havelaar; committee, Mesdames Croasdaile Bowen, C. Willis, George Gould, John Grigg, J. F. Studholme, Guy Pascoe, E. Hamilton, J. Buchanan, D. E. Hansen, Marriner, A. H. Northcote, Misses Papprill, P. Boyle, O. McIlraith, L. B. Sanders, Messrs J. G. L. Vernon, H. G. Livingstone. B. SethSmith, and Dr. W. Irving. Work in the Diocese. Archbishop Julius, in a brief address, said that 40 years had passed since it had been decided to organise the conduct of the various institutions in the diocese. He had gone to England and brought out Sister Edith from the St. Andrew's Deaconesses' Institution. He traced the subsequent history of the movement, stating that he could not speak too warmly and thankfully of the work of the deaconesses of the diocese. More or less directly from the deaconesses' home, other immeasurably valuable institutions had sprung up. They now had the Maori Girls' Home, St. Anne's I Home, St. Saviour's Orphanage, and others. The speaker appealed for assistance and adjured his hearers to keep stout hearts. A POPULAR TEACHER RETIREMENT OF MISS G. E. WILSON Miss G. E. Wilson, who for 12 years has been infant mistress of the Sumner District High School, was accorded a public farewell last night mi the Sumner Town Hall, on the occasion of her retirement. Mr G. S. McKenzie, chairman of the school committee, referred to the excellent record maintained by Miss Wilson, and to her popularity as a teacher. I Mr W. H. Nicholson, Mayor of Sum- | ner, on behalf of the residents, thanked Miss Wilson for her great work in building the character of the children, and wished her happiness in leisure that had been well earned.

Mr H. M. Stevens, the headmaster, spoke in detail cf the success attained by Miss Wilson in her work, and also of her value to the rest of the staff. Mr G. F. Allen, former headmaster, on ben?lf of past teachers and scholars, wished Miss Wilson many years of happiness. She had exercised a splendid influence on all the girls of the school. At the request of the chairman, Mrs Nicholson, the Mayoress, handed to the guest of the evening a crocodileskin handbag. Miss Wilson thanked the parents for their many kindnesses, and the staff and committee for their ready cooperation and help. It had been a great pleasure to teach at Sumner, and she sincerely hoped the children would grow up into good and loyal citizens. Mrs E. R. McCombs, with Miss Wilson and Mrs Nicholson, was presented with a oouquet. Mrs McCombs referred to Miss Wilson's success and to the debt of gratitude the parents owed to all teachers.
