It has been resolved not to advertise for tenders until the sum of £1000 shall be in hand. The following list represents an arrount of £1200 Is, of which the sum of £718 19s 9d has been received. Parishioners and old attendants at St. Michael's, churchmen generally, and old Canterbury settlers in particular, arc asked to join in re-building the Parish Church, the temporary Cathedral, the Mother Church of Canterbury. Subscriptions may be paid to the account of the St. Michael's Church Building Fund, at the Union Bank, to the Undersigned, or to any Member of the Vestry, or Building Committee.
