Taradale.

Vicar: Rev. Canon A. P,,. Clarke. Our annual Missionary Sale of Work was held on Wednesday, 6th September, and proved as usual a Avonderful success. Considering the conditions prevailing at the present time it must be looked upon as most satisfactory that the receipts reached over £82. This sum has since been supplemented up to about £90 by sales of goods left over and by further donations. The expenses were A r ery small owing to the voluntary efforts of the energetic secretary and her band of splendid workers, who strove together with the utmost harmony, and with great energy. It was gratifying to note: that many of our young people agve* their services Avith real goodwill. Mr Ronald .P. Kay, and Miss Ida Balfour, formerly parishioners here for many years, were joined together m holy matrimony since' our- last notes were written. A very sad accident caused the death of Mr John Strachan, who did splendid service m the. late war, and was very popular here. His funeral was largely attended. We also regret

to have to record the death 'of, Mrs Brice, junr., who had -been r married but a short time. M!uch sympathy is felt , for her young husband. •
