ST. ANDREW’S SUNDAY SCHOOL

PLANS FOR NEW BUILDING “We want to give our minister some encouragement towards carrying out youth work at St. Andrew’s, and we have informed the Hospital Board that we cannot leave until we get a new building,” said Mr J. Tait, who led a deputation from St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church which'waited: on „fhe Westing of the-ChriStchurOh Presbytery yesterday "'ivith plans lor the building of a new Sunday School at St. Andrew’s. The new building would be of brick veneer and timber construction, said Mr Tait. There were ample funds for the erection of a new building. “I think we did a great service to the community in allowing our bible class rooms to be taken over for an outpatients’ department,” he added. “When we sold the Sunday School to the Hospital Board five years ago the money was set agide, and is still available. You can realise that the hospital wants the Sunday School badly. The board is practically asking the Government to put up a new building for us,” he said. The building plans and specifications were left in the hands of the property, finance, and church extension committee, with power to formulate a motion seeking priority from the new housing commission for the erection of a building. The committee will prepare a full report to be brought up at the next meeting of the Presbytery in February.
