For a lqrig.time .the. .need of ..a Church book shop has been felt m New Zealand,. For many years a small, depot of the S.P.&K. has existed m: the JDioeesan Library, Wellington, m which a stock of books has been built up. At a meeting of subscribers recently it was resolved to enlarge the business. For' this purpose, a Committee of Clergy was elected, together with Mr C. P. Powles, the Treasurer, and .a, shop has been added to the Diocesan, Library, Mulgrave street, which is open to the public; A larger, stock of Bibles, Prayer Books, Devotional books, . and Sunday School requisites will be kept and sold at: the lowest prices; possible. The Society has no intention of profit-, making, its object being to help the Church, and any surplus after ; pay r . ing expenses -will, be devoted to improving the stock. The clergy will be pleased to hear that the Depot intends to procure the latest theological works, which are carefully selected by the Committee, and all the current books of that nature which are essential to the clergy will be kept (or pro-; cured) and sold at the lowest prices possible.: The Committee will value and recommendations of books, and will be pleased to order if not m stock.
