Vicar: Rev, A. W. G. Stace.

The Annual General Meeting of the Mother's Union was held on Friday, 16fch March, at St. Mary's Sunday Schoolroom ; business, to elect officers for the ensuing year. The Vicar, Rev. A. W. Stace, presided. Mrs Stace was again elected President ; Mrs Scruhy, Representative ; Mrs Nicholson, Treasurer; Mrs Reid, Secretary. Proposed by Mrs Stace, seconded by Mrs Nicholson, " That the Mother's Union contribute three parcels a month to the Lady Liverpool Fund." It was unanimously decided that a collection should be made on Friday, March 29 th, after Corporate Communion Service m aid of distressed women m Servia, France and Belgium, and sent as an Easter gift. It was also decided to contribute £1 10 d yearly to the Mary Summer House. Since our last meeting one of our oldest and most helpful members has gone from us m the person of Mrs W. A. Williams, whose practical help and cheery disposition will be much missed m the future. Our Lenten Services are, I am pleased to say, well attended. Mrs Stace gave a very pleasant evening at the Vicarage last week to bid farewell to two young lady members : of St. Mary's Choir. Mr Broome-Smith, F.R.G.S., gave a most interesting address to a large gathering of people at St. Mary's Hall on March 15th. This was certainly one of the best Missionary meetings yet held m Waipukurau. Baptisms.
