The Confirmation classes have begun m readiness for the Confirmation m November. The class for men and lads is at 10 a.m. Sundays, the class for women and girls being at 7.30 p.m. on Tuesday evenings m the church. A class for the High School girls will also be ■ arranged to be held at the Girls' Hostel. If enough candidates • come forward, classes will also be arranged at the three suburban churches.* Will intending candidates please come forward without delay "? The material for the Kindergarten Sunday School has arrived and soon the new system will be installed m the main Parish Sunday School. We will need more teachers for this special work. Who will volunteer? We Avill also welcome more children, ages from 4to 8 years. The school syllabus is very bright and attractive. Owing to the kindness of the authorities of the City Hall, we have been able to secure this hall for the scholars of the upper division m the Sunday School. A combined . social for members of both the Holy Trinity Young Men's and Girls' Clubs was held recently and a happy eveningwas spent. Miss Edith lies, who has been a valued member of the Girls' Club for some years, Avas married on September 6th to Mr Leslie Bright. 1 The service, AA'hich was conducted by the Vicar, Avas fully choral, the members of the Girls' Club, and male members of the choir, forming the choir. The church had been prettily decorated for the occasion by members of the Girls ' Club. A Memorial Board for members of the Girls' Club has been ordered from the Art School m Christchurch. The board is of simple and handsome design, m fumed oak, the Club badge, and all lettering being m raised metal. The names Avill be on separate plates, also m raised work. We hope that our Bishop will be able to dedicate it when he visits the parish m November.
