Waipukurau.

Vicar: Rev. F. W. Martin. The Mission has been theWst important event of the month. The Key. Hubert Jones was the Missioner. Beginning on September 17th it lasted six days. The Eucharist was celebrated daily, and afternoon addresses were given to women and children throughout. The Missioner came from Auckland with the reputation of being a wonderful man with the children, and the experience here fully bore this out. The Missioner filled the Church regularly every afternoon after school. Being short, the Mission closed just when it had come to close grips with the people. The Missioner informed the Vicar that during the last service he registered a vow that never again would he consent to take part m one so short. The last winter monthly social was held on October sth, and was largely attended. The young people provided a comedy as the first part, doing it very well. Mesdames Winter, Ellison, and Watt spared no pains m preparing them. Mr. and Mrs. Evans provided the last part with their inimitable Lancashire characterisations. A movement is oh foot to begin raising funds for a new Vicarage. Mr. Clure, a recent arrival from England, and a student for Holy Orders, will come into the Parish as Lay Assistant m November.
