(From Our Own Correspondent.)

April 18.—The annual meeting in connection with St. Mark’s Church took placo in the hall last evening, there being a good attendance of the congregation. The Vicar occupied the chair. The. statement of accounts for tho last year revealed a very satisfactory state of affairs, there now being a credit balance of about £ll, aftei meeting ordinary expenditure during the year. .The need of a set of vessels for "use at the Holy Communion was pointed out. At present the Vicar has to bring these from Waitara. The question of procuring a bell for the church was also discussed, and there is no doubt that both of the above needs will bo met before long. Appreciative reference w'as made to the work being done by Mrs. Lepper in the Sunday School, and also by the lay readers and organist.
