[FROM OUR OWN" correspondents.] Hamilton, Saturday. The attendance at the Archidiaconal Conference was fairly pood, five of the clergy and tea of the laity being present. The result of the discussion on the proposal of paying the clergy out of a central general fund was condemned. Considerable discussion took place on the use of the Athanasian Creed in the Church services, and the general feeling was strongly against it as offensive to members of the English Church itself and intolerable to those of other denominations who frequently attend its services. It was stated that, of course, any decision arrived at by the conference could be only suggestive, but it was recommended by a large majority both by clergy and laity present that the minatory or cursing clauses should be omitted in reading it. A resolution embodying such an easement was proposed, and it was carried, all voting fox - it except the Rev. R. O'Callaghan Biggs and Mr. H. M. Salmon. The resolution affirming thi desirableness of observing the appointed seasons of the Church was agreed to, as was also the necessity for proficiency in extempore preaching as a qualification for candidates for holy orders. The Venerable Archdeacon Willi's presided. It was resolved to hold the next quarterly conference at Cambridge. A final meeting of, the Lake Tree-planting Committee was held yesterday in the Borough Council Chambers. Present : — Messrs. Coates (chairman), Knox, Home, Mason, Von Stunner, and Gelling. Some nine acres had been planted with forest trees. Apart from the trees and labour given, the expenditure showed a sum of £11 15s, and the receipts raised by subscription amounted to £10 ss. The balance was subscribed at the table, and the accounts closed. Before rising Mr. Knox, in a graceful speech, took occasion to move a vote of thanks to Mrs. Coates for the zeal and interest she had taken in the matter of planting the public park, the success of the movement having been greatly due to her action. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Tamahkre, Saturday.
