Waiapu Church Gazette. Monday, October Ist, 1923. OURSELVES.
AYe are glad to be able to inform our readers that Synod has authorised the Standing Committee to make a grant towards " Gazette " funds so as to make possible the enlargement of the "Gazette" to twelve pages. We appeal very strongly to both clergy and laity to do their utmost to increase our circulation so as to justify the Standing Committee m carrying out the Synod's decision. A few suggestions were made to . increase the " Gazette's" usefulness: — First: The parochial notes after this month, will no longer appear m full. The unanimous opinion of the clergy is m favor of leaving the. Editor, at his discretion, to compile a column of- "Parochial News." The clergy, will send m their "notes" as' usual to form the substance of this column. Second: There is a demand for a column or two of simple matter. This will be met to the best of our ability. Third: "People want something fit A i ■ -H on Sii"*^'- " TTr -. to
provide a devotional column and' perhaps, now and again,- a short sermon. Fourth : We want to double our circulation, treble it if .possible. Will every reader, help? The "Gazette"., will now be published at lessi than cost. .The ' ' Gazette . should be m every Church home. Lend it to. your neighbor. Get him to subscribe.. If the "Gazette" doesn't satisfy you — : Wite to the editor. Ho is quite grateful for advice whether he takes it or not. Fifth: The editor 1 will send a free copy to any public library willing to put it on the library stable.-. We have been told we are "tied to a corpse.'.' Nevertheless you will find something of interest, sometimes much, m the "Churchman.?'. -Read it. The ' ' Churchman is the organ of the whole Church of New Zealand. It is not yet defunct; it "is getting better and better every day." Anyhow the "Gazette" is alive. Make it "more so."
