The Williams Centenary.

We call the attention of our readers to the Reaper of- July 16th to articles m the' public press and to a pamphlet that is- .being: widely circulated regarding the Centenary" of the landing of the Rev. Henry Williams m Auckland on August 3rd, 1823. There is no need for us to repeat, the information given, elsewhere. The Centenary has a special interest for this Diocese, of which the Rev. W. Williams became the first Bishop, and his son the third Bishop, and m which the results of the labors of Henry and William WiM ams are so prominent. The children and grandchildren of these early pioneers are well known to us and are still as they have always been, prominent workers m the cause of Christ 's Church. We. earnestly' commend the

project, of the: Board of Missions for establishing a .Divinity "School m the Diocese of Dornakal m memory of those who gave up all, bravely faced dangers and suffered so much hardship m order to preach the Gospel to the natives of New Zealand.
