Opotiki.

Vicar: Rev. A. F. Hall, M.A.

The annual meeting is once more, a thing of the past. It took place on May 18th, and as far as statistics prove anything, we are progressing. All the offertories have increased, but of course the purchase and upkeep of a car has handicapped us from doing all we would wish. Mr Cooke and Mr Dalgety were elected Vicar's and people's warden, respectively, Mr G. A. Hathaway was elected Synodsman, and the vestry now consists of Messrs Bridger, Davey, Statham, Stubbs, E. Parkinson, SiddalJ, Hathaway and Vickers.

The Vicar announced that Mr Statham had accepted the post of layreader m the place of Mr Pearson (resigned), and expressed his gratitude for all the help given him by the church workers during the past year.'

By the time this account has been published, the Confirmation will be over and the social given to the Bishop but a memory. Parish events that occur late m the month are apt to miss publication for some weeks. More, therefore, will appear m our next notes. .
