AN APPEAL IN BEHALF OF THE FUND FOR BUILDING AN EPISCOPAL ©fiurcfj, autt parsonage, AT DUNEDIN, OTAGO, NEW ZEALAND. THE COMMITTEE appointed to collect and employ this Fund, beg respectfully to invite attention of their friends and Fellow Churchmen in England and elsewhere to the following facts:— ; ■ " The European members of the Church of England in the Otago district already amount to 450 ; i in addition to whom some of the Maories would gladly attend the Episcopal Church, and send their children to its school. There are also in the settlement many persons of other denominations who wish to join the Episcopal Congregation; and , some, professedly of no religion at all, who |might be persuaded to remember that they have souls, and to become worshippers in the house of God. 1 For a period of nearly four years there vras no : English clergyman in the colony. But from the beginning of this year, the Rev. J. A. Fenton, M. A. 1 late Curate of Norton, near Sheffield, has been licensed by the Bishop of New Zealand to the in- . cumbency of the Episcopal Church of Dunedin, ■ has conducted Divine Service in the Court House. , The members of the Church of England in Otago , have subscribed liberally, considering their means, > for the maintenance of the Incumbent; and have , now appealed to the Society for the Propagation of ( the Gospel in Foreign Parts to make a yearly grant to raise that stipend to a proper amount.

The j Bishop of New Zealand has kindly promised to i visit Otago before the end of the year, and has also offered to bring with him a suitable plan for a Church, and a quantity of timber free of freight. A large Bible and Prayer Book have been presented by the Rev. W. R. Thomas, for the use of the officiating minister of the proposed Church. The Committee are now busily collecting in } Otago subscriptions for the Building Fund. But when they consider that most of their fellow S Churchmen are recent Emigrants, yet struggling with the first difficulties of their position, contribu- " ting already to the utmost of their power to the i maintenance of their pastor, and called upon to 7 fence in their Cenietery and prepare it for burialsj i they cannot hope-to laise amongst themselves more l than £200.
