I Henry and Lent. A teacher in the Anglican Sunday school at Papakura was the other day impressing on her class the observance of Lent. The children were told that it was necessary to give up something in the Lenten period. “Now Henry,” said the teacher to a little boy, “what will you give up?" “Please miss, I’ll give up the collection,” was the lad’s reply. Needless to say the teacher almost collapsed. Sunday School Picnic. The Christ church Anglican Sunday school picnic took place on Saturday. This year the young folk and their teachers were taken by motor to Cockle’s bay. near Howick. The weather was perfect, and the children had a wonderful day in the sun and in the water.
