It will be seen that the cost of erecting the Church itself has but slightly exceeded tlie amount of the funds upon which the Committee could reckon, namely, ; £1,000, but various incidental expences became necessary in the course of the work, which have increased the expenditure beyond what was anticipated. The Committee therefore are compelled to request the assistance of their fellowcolonists to enable them to meet the engagements which will become due on the completion of,the-building.
