St. Luke's Church. Havelock North.

Vicar: Rev. Canon J. A. Lush. The yicar confesses ; that he has been profiteering .accidentally. The

charge for 'the "Gazette" and "ProArincial Paper" is not 4s, but 3s. He is very sorry he has made the mistake. The event of the month has been the visit of the Rev. W. J. Durrad, for many years a missionary m Melanesia, now organising' secretary for the N.Z. Board of Missions. His object has been to stir lip missionary zeal, to , suggest ' service m the mission field ; to the young, and to ask for financial help. God only, knows hoY he has succeeded. He made it clear that we cannot be Christians without having missionary zeal. 'Go ye into all the world' are the marching orders of .our Lord. We can all do something to help by first, prayer; second, almsgiving. At the confer- - ence after the lantern- lecture it was agreed that Whitsun Week should be the period for gathering m missionary subscriptions — none will be asked to give at any other time of the -year. Mrs Douglas Williams and Mr Har-, vey have consented to act as secretaries, and ' Miss Myra Ridgway as box- secretary. As Whitsun. Week is ■just lately over, it is- suggested that we should pay m half-yearly subscriptions at once, and begin the full year next Whitsuntide. If it is wished that a subscription be given to any - special society^ it -should' be made Clear, otherwise the Central Board Will distribute as it I thinks best. A missionary box can be; had on application to Miss Myra Ridgway or the Vicar. May we rise to our missionary call. ; • Church' SchooL--Number on books, 6 boys and 12 girls.
