Vicar: Canon E. D. Rice. In order, to raise funds to build a large porch to the church, and a stone fence to the church grounds, a Gift Sale is being; arranged for the afternoon and cA r ening of Wednesday^ August 16th. There is £63 m hand, but a further £110 is required. If all will help, that amount Avill be easily ;reach ed. The stalls will be :^— Plan and f anck work, jumble, produce, cakes, sweets, flowers;, and refrshments. Gifts may be sent to the Vicarage any time,. The Mothers ' Union has had very helpful addresses from Mrs J. H. G. Murdoch? arid Nurse Carter m June and July. The Rev. F. B. Redgrave very kindly came and spoke to our G.F.S., but the attendance was small. The Rev. R, B. S. Hammond, of Sydney, preached a very inspiringsermon at the Eucharist on July 16th. A most successful men's social eA-ening was organised by the C.E.MIS. on July 20th, when there was an excellent attendance, and a very interesting discussion on "Religious Difficulties." We regret the loss of one of our most faithful choir members, Mr G. F. Allen, aged 85, who has gone to Masterton. He was librarian, and allowed nothing, except sickness, to interfere with his Sunday worship. The choir made him a presentation before he left.
