The annual meeting,of the congregation of fccots Church, Seatoun, was hold on Thursday, the Rev. R. Inglis presiding, ilio membership had increased by 11 and every department of the work of tho church showed progress. The gross revenue for the year was £848, and there was a good balanco on the ordinary revenue to the church's credit. It was unanimously agreed to increase tha stipend of the minister. Tho now ohurch at Miramar had been opened at a- cost of £700, the bulk o£ which had been paid. The church was already too small for the requirements ot the Sunday eohool and Biblo classes, and an extension was urgently required.
