FOREIGN MISSION WORK.
WAIKATO CONTRIBUTIONS.
AN APPEAL, FOR SUPPORT.
[BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.] HAMILTON. Friday.
An appeal for support for missions was mado to the VVaikato Diocesan Synod today by the Rev. F. Long, organising .secretary to the New Zealand Board of Missions. He said the Waikato Diocese had contributed £7BO to foreign missions last year, and had at the same time kept up its work among the Maoris. The missionary causo was not a competitor with local causes
Mr. Long said the New Plymouth, Hamilton, Frankton, Raglan and Waihi parishes had over-subscribed their quotas to foreign missions, but many parishes had not reached their quotas. He would be very pleased to help those parishes that had not raised their quotas. The Waikato Diocese was £3OO behind its quota last year, and he hoped that extra efforts would be made to over-subscribe the quota this year. The New Zealand Board of Missions was unable through lack of money to accept the services of a New Zealand lady who had volunteered for tho missionary field, but tho Australian Board of Missions had immediately accepted her offer.
