Tolago Bay.

Vicar : Rev. G. W. Davidson. The annual meeting was as poorly attended as possible. Anyhow, as Mr. Holder, Church officer, stated, it was a good sign ; the parishioners were evident'y quite contented with the report and balance-sheet as distributed, anh with things m general. The Church balance was satisfactory, and showed that things financial were safe for this side of Christmas, when subscriptions are again payable. The Committee was able to brin? the balance m credit to the Building Fund up to £250, to which can now be added cash and promises amounting to about £55 — and no canvass has really been made. "We feel quite snore now that a start to build will be made early m 1913. The Font Fund, m charge of the school children and teachers, is growine. Mrs. Maurice Fitzgerald's family have promised £1 towards this fund, and if other children not able to attend the regular Sundayschool are willing:, I or Mr. Date will gladly receive their copper or silver coins. Another wedding of interest took place on the 31st July, when Mr. Bert. Lincoln was united m holy matrimony to Hits Kate Lockwood. Mrs. .T. Moore acted as hostess to a very large number of friends and well-wishers who came to the wedding. The Dairy Factory will soon/ be an accomplished fact, and graat things are expected. We trust, all will go well, and that m consequence of "lore people m the place the congregations will be larger at all services. The winter plan of services will be discontinued next month, and the ■regular plan will take its place. There have been several sad cases of sickness. No less than four of our friends are m G-isfcjorne hospitals. We trust that many are joining m prayer that they may come' happily through their afflictions,

Friends are reminded to make great preparations for the Horticultural and Industrial Show, fixed for Wednesday, 20th November. A successful show is certain, for we have a good compact working committee who are keen.
