CENTENARY OF BURNHAM CHURCH.—All Saints’ Church, in Burnham Military Camp, photographed yesterday afternoon, when a centennial thanksgiving service was held. It is the only garrison church of the New Zealand Army. The first Bishop of Christchurch (the Rt. Rev. H. J. C. Harper) left this account of the church in his writings of 1863:—“I have succeeded in collecting enough money to build the first church on the Plains south of Christchurch, at Burnham—a simple wooden structure, with open, high-pitched roof, shingled outside, and with a tiny apse for sanctuary. The design was mine . . "In 1903 the church was moved from its original site to the grounds of the then Burnham Industrial School (Burnham Camp)—a distance of three miles.
