Havelock-cum-Clive.

Vicar: Rev. J. A. Lush, B.A, . Curate : Rev. A. F. Hall, MA. S. Luke's, Havelock North. We are all glad to welcome the members of the Schools again. We are all sorry that S. George's School has left the Schoolroom— it was a joy to see the Church precincts alive with children. However, we know we could not expect the privilege for very long. Our best wishes and our prayers will follow the Schoo'i at Duart. Now that our numbers m the Schools have increased so much, the seating m the Church has become a problem. We would' pleaJ with oil for patience— there is s. ill plenty of room for everyone, and we fully understand that the members of the Schools must sit together. We want an organist and three Sunday School teachers — these are 'important wants. Will you all help to supply these needs. Please take special note of the services for Lent. On the Wednesdays m Lent the clergy of the district, including Napier, are exchanging pulpits. By the way, now that S. George's School, under Mrs Crowipton Smith, has left the Schoolroom, the apparatus of which we had free use for the Sunday School Kindergarten has gone too. Will those who can offer to supply what is

needed ? Already thanikofferings, £l and eight small chairs have been given. It seems a pity that the members of the choir should be using such dilapidated book's. Is there need for it? St. Mark's, Clive. The Clive branches of the Mothers' Union and Girls' Friendly Society hope to have their preliminary meeting on Monday, March 6th, m the afternoon and evening, when Deaconess Esther Brand has kindly promised to come.

Our best thanks are due to both. The prize-giving was held on Sunday, February 6th. We welcome Mr R. Edwards as a teacher an the Sunday School.
