THE FREDERIC WALLIS HOUSE.
Wellington Diocese is now fully assured m the future, through the most generous kindness of Mrs. Wallis, of a suitable and permanent
centre for the purpose of holding Retreats or Conferences for the Clergy and Laity, instead of having to rely upon the chance opportunities of being afforded a welcome by the authorities of Schools or Colleges during the vacation periods. We congratulate the Diocese on its acquisition of a. new centre of religious effort and spiritual life, and on its possessing now a fitting memorial of a great Bishop, who was not only a distinguished scholar, but also a wise, devoted and true father-in-God to his flock. And we think that we may congratulate also Mrs. Wallis herself on the fresh joys that will be surely hers, as she finds, through this venture of faith and sacrifice, even yet another sphere of useful service for God m the diocese where her husband m former years so ably and faithfully fulfilled the office of a Bishop. — (Wellington Church Chronicle.)
