The annual service was held m St. Augustine's Church m the evening, aid, although the weather was wet and extremely cold, there was a good attendance of members .arid associates, the congregation numbering about 50. The Vicar read prayers, and Canon Mayne the special lesson. Members of the choir \yere present, under H. L. Harstbn, the church, organist, and assisted greatly m the singing. The Bishop preached the sermon, his text being "Let this mind be m you, which was also m Christ Jesus " (Phillippians, ii., 5). He dwelt on the duty of self-sacrifice and the necessity of every member of the ©ociety becoming an active worker for Christ. Af tor the service an adjournment was made to the schoolroom, where a few words of welcome were spoken by the x vicar and short speeches made by the Bishop and Canon Mayne. A pleasant concert programme was taken part m by Miss 1 Tuke (piano solo), Mrs .F. W. Triggs (songs), Miss Joseph (violin solos), Miss Locking (recitations), and Miss Isa Watson (piano solo) . The vicar thanked the performers, and also the associates for preparing such an extremely enjoyable entertainment. The Vicar .will be pleased to receive the annual subscriptions for the Church paper from his parishioners. He is glad to say that last year's subscriptions have all been paid with the exception- of a few still outstanding. The small charge of 2s a year includes the " Dawn of Day," wnich is shortly to arrive after an iinfor.tunate delay. The enlarged edition of our paper will no doubt be appreciated by our readers. News from all parts of the Diocese will be published, and as the Vicar 'has guaranteed 150 copies a month he hopes many new subscribers will take the paper. In rvmnec.tion with the Church Lads there is a wood-carving class held on Wednesday evenings m the schoolroom, where from 7.30 to 9 p.m., one of our old brigade-^- James Berry — kindly instructs the boys.

The annual meeting of parishioners will be held on July 17th, and the vestry meeting of the present vestry on July lOth.' All parishioners should make a point of attending the annual "meeting, which will take the form. 1 of a social evening at the conclusion of the business proper. In a letter lately received by the Vicar. Mr C. F. Saunders, who was a lay reader and Sunday School teacher here up to the time of his leaving for Westport, where he is helping the Rev. H. Dart, says : "The parish here is a very extensive one, 60 miles north and 30 south. Yet very good work is being done."
