Vicar: Rev. H. ColUer. The Harvest Thanksgiving Serviceswere held on Quinquagesima Sunday, when the Vicar of Ormondvillei kindly preached the harvest sermons. The Services were bright and hearty and. were well attended. The Choir rendered their part with credit. The Rev. F. W. Martin kindly preached on the first and second Sundays m Lent, his kindly help being v;ery much appreciated both by the parishioners and the Vicar. The Yen. Archdeacon Neild gave am address on the work of the Melanesian Mission, m the Church on the evening of March 4th. It was disappointing to see so few present, but those who made the effort to be present were well repaid for their trouble. It is sincerely to be hoped* that we may speedily become a Missionary hearted district. ASHLEY-CLINTON.
