Taradale.

Vicar: Rev. A. P. Clarke,

We had a very welcome visit from the Rev. F. Long on Tuesday, May 7th, and much enjoyed his magic lantern lecture on his work m the mission Held.

The Meanee Boy Scouts, under Mr Boneshae, attended service at Meanee on Sunday, May 12th, and the Vicar is glad to know that they will do so at regular intervals.

There are still a few subscribers to the "Gazette" who have not yet pail for 1917-1918. Would they kindly communicate with the Vicar? The subscription is really due m advance on Ist July m each year.

A Sunday School was started m Riverbend road several Sundays ago. For some time past the need for a Sunday School there has been felt, the great difficulty being the lack of a room. This was overcome for a while through the kindness of Mr Sam Wood, of Napier, who allowed us the use of a small cottage. He has, however, most unfortunately for us, sold the place, together with other property of his, so that just at present we are without a room. There were twenty children's names on the roll, so that there is no doubt about the need of a school. Should these lines meet the,eye of some kindly disposed person able to help m thid good work,

we should be deeply grateful to receive financial aid which would enable us to buy a little place m which we could carry on this very necessary work. .
