Wacrenga-a-hika— First and third Sunday, 11 a.m ; second Sunday. 7 p.m.: fourth Sunday, 3 p.m. First Sunday, Children's Service, at 2 p.m. Makarnka— Every Sunday, at 7 p.m. Ormond— First Sunday, at 7 p.m.; third Sunday at 3 p.m. Makauri -Second Sunday, at 7 p.m. Wai mata— Second and fourth Sunday, at 11 a.m. (weather and roads permitting). The Bishop's first official visit to the Parish took place on the last Sunday m August, when he preached at Evensong. Service was held m the Public Hall, and m spite of cold, boisterous weather, there was a good congregation. The Bishop's sermon was eloquent and impressive and will not be soon forgotten. On the next evening the annual Parish Social was held. The elements were again unfriendly, and the gathering, though large, was nothing to what it would have been under favourable conditions. The first part of the concert programme was given by the Public School children, and consisted of drill, costume dances, Maypole dance, etc., their performance being warmly appreciated. The second part consisted of glees and part songs, delightfully rendered by the students of Te Rau College, under the Rev. F. Cbatterton. The Bishop's address was of a very happy nature, and quite won his hearers. We are looking forward with pleasant anticipations to his next visit on the second Sunday m October, when he is to open our beautiful new brick Church at 11 a. in. and hold a Confirmation at 3 p.m.
