Vicar: Rev. A. W. G.'Stace.
The Monthly meeting of the Mother's Union was held on Friday afternoon last, Mrs Gilbertsen (m the absence of Mrs Stace, President) presided over a good attendance of members. At the request of the Council (Napier) our branch was asked to express an opinion m connection with a change of day for the Annual Festival of the G.F.S. It was decided that m the opinion of this branch it is a pity to divide the Mother's Union and G.F.S. Festival, but that Saturday would suit most of our members. It was decided that members should prepare and read a paper at each monthly meeting. Subjects to be chosen are : — 1 Children's Amusements : 2 Discipline and Self Development; 3 Religious Teaching m the Home ; 4 Claims on Mothers, Husbands and Children, how to adjust.them. Mrt Stace is to prepare the paper for the next meeting. Afternoon tea was provided by Mrs Gilbertsen.. At a meeting of the Vestry, held on March 30 th, it was found that the estimated receipts from April Ist to June 30th "were £80, and the estimated expenditure £118 15, leaving a deficiency of £38 15s. After some discussion it was decided that a direct appeal'be made to the parishioners to give a Harvest Thank-offering on Sunday, April 29th. This was done at St. Mary's Church and at Hatuina on the following Sunday, The result being that the sum of £67 6s 9d was given, nearly £30 more than asked for. Interest m Church work has been much stimulated and several persons have given m their names as annual direct subscribers to the Church Funds." We are looking forward to a visit from our Bishop on August 19th. ' .'.*..',' The Vicar will be glad if intending candidates for confirmation will let him have their names as soon as possible.
