St. Andrew's, Port Ahuriri.

Confirmation: On Whitsunday evening the Bishop administered the sacrament of confirmation to John Hubert Low, Hilary Arthur Martin, Eric Phillip Prebble, Terence William Hague, Robert Petrus Percival Ericksen, Lawrence Edward McCarthy and Jessie Frances Stokes. Members of the Girls' Club spent an evening recently entertaining the boys of France House. It was a thoroughly enjoyable and successful evening. A team from St. Andrew's Sunday. School also journeyed to France House for soccer, France House winning with seven goals to nil. A return match is being planned to take place when St. Andrew's hope to turn the tables. A probationary branch of the C.E.M.S. was formed on June 14. This was the outcome of a meeting held at Eskdale three weeks previously and addressed by the Bishop and the Vicar. The Bishop gave a report on the C.E.M.S. conference which was held recently at New Plymouth. Mr Marcus Smith was appointed secretary and treasurer to the branch. An interesting lecture was given by the Bishop of Aotearoa on his visit to India for the Madras Conference. The talk was accompanied by lantern slides. A collection was taken during the evening.
