S. Andrew's, Port Ahuriri.

Our branch was opened on or about the 12th of May. Mrs Averill and Mrs Hansard kindly came downj. and tobi our first meeting. We have met regularly every fortnight since. The average attendance is about 14. We find it a good plan to have supper every time, it makes things go. The girls are very happy and friendly together, and very interested m fancy work. We hope to start working for something next year. Mrs Leash gave us a Bible reading once, which was very much appreciated. We have had two socia 1 evenings, games and table games being the order of the evening. The admission service was poorly attended. The night was so wet, onlj five girls turned up. We are to have another m three weeks. Nothing haf been done, so far, for the junior candidates, associates being all too busy to take up that part of the work. %We never omit to open the meetings with a hymn, Bible reading and prayer, which I am sure accounts for the success of our branch — if any real work is done God must do it, and if we honour Him and put Him m His right place He will honour us, and bless our efforts m this direction. M. C. HUNTER, Branch Secretary, St. Andrew's Branch.
