Hastings.
Nearly every Clergyman cherishes the hope that at least one of his sons may follow m his own footsteps and be moved by the Holy Spirit to offer himself for the work of the Ministry. It was, therefore, with great pleasure that the Vicar of S. Matthew's learnt that his youngest son wished to prepare for Holy Orders. Through the generosity of a friend, the way has been opened for him to receive an English University training. Mr. Charles Hobbs, who has been teaching at S. John's Collegiate School, Auckland, will probably sail by the Ruapehu, leaving Wellington on the 28th instant, m order to be m residence at Cambridge for the October term. The prayers of many will follow him and hopes that, like his father, he may do good work for. the Church of the Province of New Zealand. Another "postulant" for Holy Orders is already at Cambridge, Mr. Kenneth Maclean, a grandson of Bishop Williams. Waiapu has another Clergyman's son studying for the Ministry—the Rey. E. Robertshawe's sou has been some time m residence at S. John's College, Auckland.
