On Sunday, August 23rd, three children were admitted as members of the Tokomaru Bay "Crusaders "— Betsy Eeilly,-Enid Coates and Nellie Hollever. It was very pretty to see these young- people come forward and make their vows during* the children's -service. Paul Evans is also a "Grusader," but a country member. At the end of August the Vicar made a journey on horseback round some of the back stations. Bright services w^e held at Makarika and Huiarua, ' a|p^i to avoid some of the mud the j&urney home was made via Onetkhufigia and . Puketiti. On the first JSunday m September the Vicar went into, the Te Araroa Parochial District to celebrate the Holy Communion at Tuparoa and Kahaifciu, as at present they are without

a priest. He was glad of the opportunity of meeting many old friends and, considering tlje state o£ the roads, the attendance was very good at both places.

On Friday^ September 11th, the initial meeting- of the Mothers ' Union was held m St. Mary's Church, Tokomaru Bay. The attendance was good and for three months it is on probation. Mrs Pigott was made president, Mrs Morgan vice-president, and Mrs Hughes hon. secretary and treasurer.
