Hunt, who presided, explained that the object was to raise funds for the renovation of the Sunday School Hall, erected in 1894 on the site given by Mr W. Collett. The late Mr John Barnett had commenced the Sunday School prior to this date in the public school build- ! ing. His son, Mr A. W. Barnett, was superintendent for a time and he, with others now residing elsewhere, still showed an interest in the school.
