BAPTIST CONFERENCE.
[by telegraph.—press association.] Christchurch, Wednesday. The Baptist Conference was occupied all day with the affairs of the Missionary Society. The annual report was distinctly encouraging. Notwithstanding that £1273 has been raised during the year for the erection of a mission hospital, the debit balance on the goneral account only increased by £121. Messages from missionaries gave general pleasure and satisfaction. The committee was instructed to immediately proceed to the erection of the hospital. The whole afternoon was occupied in the election- of the secretary, Mr. H. H. Driver, being reelected, in association with the Rev. P. W. Boreham in matters of correspondence. Mr. A. Hoby was re-elected treasurer, and Messrs. Whitton and Godber auditors. A pubho meeting was hold at night. There was a good attendance. Mr. George Talbot, Mayor of Nelson, presided. The Revs. Dallaston (Wellington), Gray (Nelson), and Martin (Napier) delivered addresses.
