WOODVILLE.
We are awaiting the arrival of our new Vicar, who is expected at the end of April. Meanwhile the services are being maintained as well as possible. The Diocesan Chaplain is here this month, but next month (April) we shall have to depend on our layreaders. The Rev. G. W. Davidson, who is on leave through sickness, has resigned the parish, and his resignation takes effect on March 31st. Mr. Davidson is living at Foxton, but manages to come. occasionally to see us and to visit some of his friends. We are glad to know that, as a result of his rest from regular duty, his health is somewhat improved. We hope that he will be able to carry out his wish, to preach at Evensong on Easter Day. The Sunday school resumed on March 7th, but only a comparatively small number of the children attended. The attendance was much better on the 14th, but will have to improve still more before it reaches its former level. No doubt the infantile paralysis scare has much to do with the poor attendance.
