TARADALE.

The month of June was a busy and memorable one for this parish. On Sunday, June 14th, the Bishop confirmed 16 candidates, his inspiring addresses being greatly appreciated by large congregations. On Sunday, June 30tli, the Diamond Jubilee services were held. All the services were attended by great congregations, and his Lordship the Bishop preached sermons that will be long remembered. He was attended by the Vicar and Rev. H. W. Klingender. At the social reunion m the afternoon 150 sat down to tea, and the Jubilee cake was cut by a foundation member, Mrs. G. Ridley, a former organist of All Saints. There were nine of the foundation members present, some coming from long distances to share m the celebrations. The Jubilee Fund reached nearly £270, which was considerably short of the aim, but is nevertheless a commendable effort. The offerings for the day were just under £70. At Evensong a beautiful tablet m memory of the late George and Ellen Mildred Harpham was unveiled and dedicated by the Bishop. The annual parishioners' meting is to be held on Wednesday, August 7th, at 7.45 p.m., m the Parish Hall. This will be ; an important meeting, as the question of de-parochialising is to be decided. All parishioners are urged to attend and to see that they have signed the churchwarden's list of members. .•• ■ ; v.
