ST. JOHN’S CHURCH. • The following reference is made in the Church Chronicle of St. John s Parish to the death of Rev. A. Hermon, the second vicar of St. John s, who died in England last month: “Just at the time of the jubilee celebration at St. John’s Church, Feilding, the English Church papers announced the death of Rev. A. Hermon, the second vicar. Mr Hermon, who came from the diocese of Nelson, was in charge of the Feilding parish from 1886 to 1893. He went Home, and had for the past 13 years been Vicar of Swaffam Bulbeck, Cambridgeshire, in the Diocese of Ely. He died last Ash Wednesday, just after he had taken a children’s service in his parish church. There are not a few who remember his work in New Zealand.”

CHELTENHAM HALL COMMITTEE A credit on the year’B working was shown in the report which was placed before the annual meeting of the Cheltenham Hall Committee. It is hoped that the credit shown and a small deposit in the bank will form the nucleus of a fund to be set aside for the painting of the hall at some future date. Matters regarding the maintenance of the hall were attended to and the following committee elected: Messrs H. Wood (chairman), R. Christensen, C. Anderson, T. Moss, T. Mills, E. Sinclair, A. Robertson, D. Robertson, W. J. Port and A. E. Shannon, secretary and treasurer. At a meeting of the Cheltenham School • Committee it was decided to observe Arbour Day in about a month’s time, with the usual oeremony and work at the school. It was also decided to hold the children’s ball in June.

RELIEF APPEAL. A splendid response was made this morning to the appeal for clothes, boots, etc., for the relief of distressed families. At an early hour willing workers had assembled at the Technical School buildings in Ferguson Street which have kindly been placed at the disposal of the Relief Committee by Mr L. J. Wild, and from there the town was systematically worked in the collection of the parcels of clothing and food. Large and small bundles were brought in in great numbers and, pleasing as the early response has been,

it is expected that the returns from the country residents will considerably augment the supplies. Some of the clothing received was of a very good quality and will need little or no attention from the committee of ladies who have signified their readiness to mend and otherwise make all the clothing ready to wear. Boots, one of the greatest necessities, came to hand in appreciative numbers and the repairing of these is being attended to in the depot which has been set up by the Relief Workers’ Movement in Feilding and which has its headquarters at the school.

In expressing his pleasure at the giving so readily by the people of Feilding, Rev. Canon Petrie said that his fullest expectations had been completely gratified and he was sure that the approximately CO families in Feilding who were in need of clothing and the other necessities of life would have their every want supplied from the donations of clothing, etc., that had come forward. Mr Petrie was also very grateful for the manner in which the many citizens of the town had placed themselves at the disposal of the committees in the collection of the clothes. „ ~ . , Another branch of the relief work which has received very careful attention has been that of the provision of firewood. Mr T. Collins has had charge of this and the large amount of firing that he has accumulated is ample evidence of both his own energies and the generosity of the residents of the town and district who donated the wood. Feild'ng residents have always responded spontaneously in the past to all calls for relief of people in distress and the present example of generosity is further indication of the sympathy that is felt.
