BAPTISMS.

William Erie Rathbone, Ngaire Armstrong Wright. Taradale, Vicar: Rev. A. P. Clarke. The Mission which had been looked forward to with so much hope, and which had been carefully and prayerfully prepared for, has been held. And what shall be said of its results ? The complete fruits will not be known yet, but already it may be seen that a deep impression has been made upon many. Church workers, especially, have been much strengthened and refreshed, and are shewing a greater anxiety to win others for the Redeemer's Kingdom. The meetings were well attended throughout, always by a reverent and keenly attentive congregation, and if fresh proof were necessary that the old Gospel Truths always attract and impress, such was given during the few days the Missioner spent amongst us. The "Rev. C. T. Horan always delivered the Message m an earnest, winning, and manly manner, never sparing nor excusing sin, but laying special stress upon the boundless love of God. and the promised power to overcome sin, and to lead a godly and Christian life. Whilst we are deeply grateful for the Mission, it must be mentioned that the universal opinion is that a Mission of such very short duration — from Saturday to the following Thursday night — cannot possibly be as effective as one lasting a longer period.
