St. Mark's, Olive.
* Vicar: Rev. R. F. Geddes, M.A. The services throughout the. day of - Good- Friday were, very well attended. It was encouraging to find so many people able and willing to watch with the Dyjng Saviour during the service of three hours. In the evening the Story of the Cross was sung by the choir. Easter Day services were also
well attended. We were able to hold a Eucharist at the Grange, at which there were eleven communicants. On Low Sunday ,we held our annual Harvest Festival, when Mr Bennett kindly came and tdok Evensong while the. Vicar wa,s able to hold service at the Grange. The harvest 'offerings were sent td Hukarere School. On Tuesday, April sth, Deaconess Esther- came put from Napier to a meeting of the Girls' Friendly Society and Mothers' Union. It is with •great regret we learn that her new work in Hastings will make it impossible for her to take quite the same part in these organisations as she has done in the past. However, we hope we shall often see her at our meetings during the coming months. ■■ v On Wednesday, April 6th, the Rev. Alfred Hall paid his farewell visit to Clive and celebrated for us on Thursday morning. We were glad to have this opportunity of saying good-bye to one who has done so much for the parish. A presentation was made by the vestry on behalf of the parish. He takes with him many good wishes for his future life and work. We are very grateful to the parish of Haveloek for the gift -of the motor bicycle, to Mr Lush for the side-ear which he has left for use in this parish, and to Mr Lindsay Gordon for new tyres for the bicycle. Baptism. — April sth, Louisa Jean McQuilkin. v
