St. Mark's, Clive.

Vicar: Rev. R. F, Geddes, M.A,

Our annual meeting was held on June 2nd.- We should have liked to have seen it better attended. We were fortunate m having the Archdeacon with us, and the benefit of his encouragement and advice for the coming year. His remarks were yery sound and very' much to the point. He referred particularly to the good work done by Mr T. Gushing as secretary and treasurer. It was most arduous, though very necessary work, involving a great deal of self-sacrifice. On behalf of the parish the Vicar thanked Mr J. : L. McLean, who came over regularly once a month to conduct evening service, and so allow the Vicar to go to Clive Grange; the wardens and vestry, particularly Mr T. Cushing, people's warden; Mrs Wigg and her helpers m the Sunday School ; Mrs R,oss, who has taken over the training of the choir, and Miss Prewett, our organist; Miss Vesta Cushing, for her unsparing devotion to the interior of the church; and Mrs Wigg, for her care of the vestriients and altar linen. The following officers were appointed for the present year : — People 's warden, Mr T. Cushing; vestry, Messrs W. Cushing, Lawton, L. Gordon, C. Baker, G. F. Roach, Welply and Ross; Synod representative, Mr L. Gordon; auditor, Mr C. Ellison. A vote of thanks to the Archdeacon "was moved by Mr Roach.
