E. de Berry presided and there was a good attendance of parishioners. ifhe chairman explained that the need for a Sunday school in the locality of the new suburb was urgent, and to overcome the difficulty a scheme had been promoted by which it was proposed to provide a suitable church-room to meet the requirements of the future.

The new edifice, which will cost approximately £OOO, will be in keeping with the. progressive suburb, and will be designed by Mr E. V. West. The architect was accorded a vote of thanks for his offer to draw the plans and prepare specifications and Air Carruthers was also heartily thanked for his offer to orgnniso labour to assist with the erection.
