ANDERSON’S BAY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. The following resolution was passed at the Sunday evening service at Anderson’s Bay Presbyterian Church: — “\Ye, the members and adherents of the Anderson’s Bay Presbyterian Church, learn with pleasure and pride that our minister, Rev. Ci. 11. Jupp, has been chosen by the General Assembly to fill the honourable and responsible position of Convener of the Foreign Missions Committee, the office which Professor Ilewitson has occupied with growing distinction for 21 years. It is a great tribute to Mr Jupp’s administrative ability and sound judgment and a striking indication of the esteem with which he is regarded in the church courts that he should be called to be the leader in this work, a work which, wonderfully as it has developed during the past years, is even now only on the threshold of its possibilities, and we pray and trust that God will so amplify and enrich those powers of heart and mind and physical strength which Mr Jupp brings to the work, that for many years to come, lie may have tho joy and honour of guiding it in being an even greater power for God among the heathen. Recognising that Mr Jupp will and must give much time and energy to this important work, we desire to assure him that in fcis pastoral work here, he shall have at all times the loyal co-operation and practical assistance of his office-bearers and people, and that they will continually bear him up in prayer before tho throne of God.”
