Bishopric Endowment Fund.

The meeting of Synod is drawing near, and not much time remains to the Lay" Committee. to fulfil their resolution to complete the Endowment Fund before it assembles. About five hundred pounds has been collected this year ; so that there still remains some two thousand pounds short of the total required from the Diocese, apart from the subsidy. Some who have already contributed have increased their subscriptions. Mr T. Tanner's total contribution is now £270, besides the amount he gave to the previous fund. Mr 0. Gray has increased his contribution by £20, making £60 m all. Mr Gh P. Donnelly has forwarded a cheque for £50, bringing his total to £75. Mr Gh H. Beamish has also sent an additional £50 ; and besides the above, £25 has been received from Messrs Bloomfield Bros. Mr E. E. Barton has forwarded £2 2s; Mr J. B. Fielder, £5; Mr W. P. Finch, a further £15. Parochial subscriptions also have been collected by Mr W. T. Williams £13 10s, and Mr T. C. Warren £3. Mr Eobinson, of Makotuku, has collected a further sum of £26 ss; Wairoa has forwarded an additional collection of £4 15s. We understand that both Havelock and Hastings are making further collections this month. Mr E. V. Warrington has sent £2 2s, and Mr Lindo Leyien a like sum. We make an earnest appeal to Churchmen to complete the Fund. Contributions may be sent to Archdeacon Euddock, Napier (the Secretary), or to Mr F. W. Williams (the Treasurer).
