Winstone Family Gives £30,000 To Church
(P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day Through the generosity of members of a well-known Auckland family, interest on a gift of £30,000 would be available to augment ministerial stipends, the Methodist Conference was informed this morning by the ExPresident, Rev. William Walker. In making the announcement, Mr. Walker said that he had found that many laymen of the church were much concerned at the fact that a number of ministers iwere receiving less than the minimum stipend last year. The conference was delighted to have received from Mrs. J. H. Blackwell, of Auckland, gift of a property to the value of £SOOO interest, to be used for augmenting stipends. Mr. Walker then advised the conference that Mrs. Blackwell, in association with her brothers, Messrs. George, Frank and Percy Winstone, had desired further to augment that gift through real estate transfers -to an amount of £25,000, making £30,000 in all. The conference, on the motion of the Rev. M. A. Rugby-Pratt, carried a vote of thanks to the donors.
