Vicar: Rev. F.W. Mar tin. A general meeting was held to make final arrangements for the annual Floral Garden Fete. Owing to the drought it was decided to add several classes m home industries to meet the circumstances. The date was fixed for 18th January, 1910. The Ladies' Guild meets regularly every Thursday, and is well attended. Mr. G. H. Curie, the Lay Assistant, has settled down m Takapau. He preaches with much acceptance and great earnestness, and is meeting with a good response from his flock. The Vicar has introduced into S. Mary's Sunday School the stamp album system, obtained through A. H. Reid, Dunenin. Each child is given an album, with spaces for each Sunday m the Church's year. Stamps, bearing passages of Scripture around the margin, with a pictorial illustration m the centre, are issued each Sunday to the children, and they affix them and keep the albums! ' Canon Ciirzon* Siggers, of Dunedin, highly : recommended them as being instructive. The Vicar hopes to have them introduced into the other Schools m the Parish. Classes for young and adult candidates for Confirmation are being carried on at Onga Onga and S. Mary's, and there is a considerable number of candidates.
