Archdeacon Cole was head of the archdeaconry of Taranaki for eight years, resigning in 1910, principally because of increasing work in connection with his. position as superintendent of the Home Mission of the Diocese. The Bishop then asked the Rev. F. G. Evans, vicar, of St Mary’s, to accept the position, and he > accepted on one condition—that a definite sum per annum should be raised in the archdeaconry towards the actual expenses of the position, travelling, house rent, pension and correspondence. Mr. Evans said then that the only unsatisfactory point in connection with Archdeacon Cole’s work had been that it had not been paid for. He (Archdeacon Cole) had defrayed all his expenses during all those years ungrudgingly.
