St. Andrew's, Port Ahuriri.

Vicar: Rev. F. B. Redgrave, M.A.

The day of . continuous prayer m connection with the war, which was held on the Saturday after Ascension Day was well observed; The day began with a Celebration of Holy Communion at 7.30, and the whole morning 1 there was someone m the church, whilst for most of the afternoon there were half-a-dozen persons praying.

On Ascension Day the Bishop kindly preached to a very good congregation on the "Joy of Ascensiontide."

The electric light has been installed m the church, it being a very great improvement on the gas, which was far from satisfactory. The cost has been borne by a very successful concert which was held m the Coronation Hall, at which several of the best-known Napier musicians helped us.

We now sing the Psalms at the evening service, which makes the service much brighter. We have no choir, but thanks to the assistance of Mr W. P. Finch, who is helping us after Evensong on Thursday evenings, the whole congregation is to be the choir.
