PUKETAPU.

(J. J. Anderson.)

At Evensong on Sunday, 16th August, Canon A. Hodge inducted the new Vicar. Preaching from 1. Cor. 15.58., the speaker reminded the congregation of the heavy responsi-

bilities of the parish priest. But it must be remembered that success m matters spiritual was not judged or defined by the standards of the world. No work undertaken !for God could be m vain. It was the privilege and duty of the laity to co-operate with the Vicar m carrying out the plan and purpose of God m Puketapu parish. A representative meeting was held on Tuesday, 15th September, at the residence of Mrs. Kinross White, to discuss the method of raising the missionary quota of £95. After discussion, it was decided for this year to abandon the flower show and trust to direct giving. Plans were made to cover the whole parish so that all parishioners would have the opporutnity of co-operating m the effort. The Vicar hopes to meet all at an early date, but would be glad to be told of any cases of sickness.
