Dannevirke.

Vicar: Rev. E. Robertshawe, B.A. Curate: Rev. O. E. Kear. Our annual meeting, which was held on August 3rd, took this year the form of a social gathering of both sexes. The outgoing People's Warden read the report, which was of a satisfactory nature. All current expenses had been met by the current income, and a slight credit balance was m hand. Besides this there were m hand or promised, contributions sufficient to reduce the overdraft from £200 down to £50, and the remainder would, it was hoped and expected, be entirely wiped off before Christmas. The total cash receipts for the Parish for the year amounted to £666. Th« Chairman pointed out that this was both the number of the golden talents that came to Solomon m one year and also the number of the beast. It is evidently the number of worldly success, but it is to be trusted that, m this case, it is rather a mark of spiritual success. Mr Harrison was elected People's Warden, and Mr F. J. Knight appointed Vicar's Warden. The following gentlemen were elected Vestrymen : — Messrs Chadwick, Webber, Coltman, Dobson, Tilsley, Wood, Magnusson, Tosswell, Wright, Macpherson, Benson, Tansley. Messrs Bell, Magnusson, and Edkins were elected as Synodsmen. Votes of thanks were passed to the outgoing Vestry, Choirmaster, Organist, Choir, Superintendent and Sunday School Teachers, and Lay Readers. A social evening with songs and refreshments brought the proceedings to a close. At a Vestry meeting held August 17th, Messrs W. F. Knight, F. G. Cowper, and A. Webber were elected Nominators forthis Parish. BAPTISMS.
