- ST. PETER'S SUNDAY SCIP .»• >L The annual distribution of prizes in connection with the above school was iheld in the- I*.u-mii nan, when there was a ve/y Jarge- attendaiife. The Vicar, the Rev. (.5 N.. War.son, presided, and the ’/en. Archdeacon Julius was also present. • After the usual devotional opening the chairman stated that, there were in view some good plans for next year. He. hoped' to make the Sunday School a frti.l more flourishing thing in the life of the parish. He assured tire parents that the discipline or the school under Mi H. Talbot was excellent, and lie appealed to them to encourage the superintendent and teachers by sending their children along regularly to Sunday School. Mr Watson said lie was also particularly grateful to the teachers who had so unselfishly given of their time. It was his hope to inaugurate a Sunday School teachers’ class next year. He expressed his gratefulness to Archdeacon Julius for coining out to present the prizes. A short but delightful musical programme by H. Talbot (pianoforte solo), the Vicar (solo), and Mrs L. II Talbot (soprano solo), was rendered, Mrs F..W- Salmon being a most efficient accompaniste.

Archdeacon Julius, in a bright yet sincere speech, said ho always came to Temuka whenever lie received his orders. It might not have been generally known, but their present vicar was at one time in his Bible class; ‘ and a. good scholar he was, too,” the speaker added. The .Archdeacon told a story of what happened at Colombo during Ins'recent trip to the Homeland, show-

ing how high a reputation New Zealand, had in that place. Ho added: “New Zealand has a big reputation to keep up. Throughout various places 1 visited I heard New Zealanders referred to as ‘gentlemen.’ We musr all as teachers and scholars keep up that high reKrence.”-
