STANDING COMMITTEE

"'A a meeting of the Standing Committee held on the 21st of April, the quesion of Diocesan Finance was . dealt with. After hearing the report of a Special Committee set up to consider it, the whole question was deferred to a further meeting, as it was considered that without more information no satisfactory solution could be arrived at. The position as disclosed by the estimates for the coming year, shows that a greater effort must be made, if the work at present undertaken is to be carried on. Whilst the receipts from the Annual Diocesan Fund show a substantial increase on last year, they are not sufficient to enable the Diocese to carry on, unless there, is a curtailment of expenditure, or an increase m revenue. A letter was received from Mr. Turner Williams tendering his resignation as Organising Secretary for the General Diocesan Fund ion account of the uncertainty of his health.- : H:s resignation was -received with deep regret. Miss Jones has (resigned from the Maori Mission m order to live near her father. She has done splendid work at Ruatoki.
