Vicar: Rev. A. W. C. Stace. On Wednesday Mr and Mrs Russell gave a most delightful garden party at the beautiful homestead at Hatuma, m aid of the bazaar. There was a large gathering of Hatuma settlers, and a large party motored and. drove m from town to be present. Mr and Mrs Russell had spared no effort to make the function such a huge success. There was tennis, cricket, and rounders for those who were interested m these pastimes, also two most amusing competitions, and a " hidden treasure." During the afternoon several ladies and gentlemen contributed musical items, afternoon tea was served on the lawn and verandah, and the visitors returned to their homes after a most glorious time. c On Sunday last we had a visit from the Rev. Spenser, who discoursed on " the Bible m the world." and the work of the British and Foreign Bible Society. We are pleased to hear that the Vicar's little boy is now convalescent and will soon be about again. The Sunday School and Bible Class hav<e again opened for the year. We are pleased to see that a start has now been made with the new Vicarage, and it will be interesting. to see it growing day by day until completed. BAPTISM. John William Br ice. MARRIAGES.
