Vicar: Rev. J. A. Lush, B.A. Church enlargement has started, and is going speedily ahead. The old Vestry has been added to tne old schoolroom, and will make a very useful addition. The old chancel has been safely mioved to its place at the head of the south aisle. It is interesting and nice to know that the old wood is m first-rate condition. We have become more and more ambitious, and now we shall not be content until the whole scherce has been carried out, i.e., tower and west end. A considerable sum has already been promised for that purpose. It has been decided that the tower shall be erected to the memory of the late Vicar. It is hoped that every member will take part m this scheme. The foundation stone of the new Church will be laid by the Bishop on Shrove Tuesday, Feb. 4th. C.E.M.S.— On Jan. 23rd, Dr. Falkin (London) gave an address to men m the schoolroom. His straightforward remarks were much appreciated, though there was some difference of opinion. We look forward to another such meeting. The Sunday school will re-open on Sunday, Feb. 9th. S. MARK'S, CLIVE. Clive people feel they have suffered a great loss m the death of Mrs. Gordon. Very heartfelt sympathy has gone out to Mr. Gordon and His family, and to Mr. and Mrs. Tanner, m their great sorrow. We were glad to have a visit from our old friend the Rev. H. Robjohns, on Sunday, Jan. 19. Those who were present at Holy Communion the Sunday after the Confirmation felt they were present at a living service. The number of Communicants (27) seemed to add to the depth of the service. There is no reason why every Holy Communion should not be such a service. Five men and four j'oung women were confirmed on the Epiphany. It was a grand idea to give the Bishop an opportunity of meeting Clive people at a light supper after the service.

We wish Mrs. Sinclair a very happy holiday. We are particularly sorry for Miss Sinclair, who lias come home only to be laid up with scar jet fever. We hope she will make a speedy recovery. We are grateful to Mrs. Illingworth for her help at the harmonium. ru^Ni^HAL. Jan. 17— Ellen Mary Gordon, Clive, aged 41 years.
