The show of course has come and passed, but did not make the difference in the way of visitors to our services that is sometimes done. Influenza and other troubles are hero as elsewhere, but unfortunately do not pass. On Sundaj', October 20th, the Venerable Archdeacon Ruddock preached in St. Matthew's Church morning and evening on the Bishopric Endowment Fund, and the necessity for raising the preliminary fundy necessary for the proposed Provincial Mission of 1909! The centre of interest in this parish during . the past month has been the health of Mrs Kayll, whose life has been hanging in the balance several times, and who, though at present in a more hopeful condition is still most seriously ill. On September 27th a little son was born to her and everything went well till October sth, when she gave symptoms of meningitis (inflammation of the brain membrane). Her four little children are variously provided for and she is under the care of two nurses, and constant medical attendance. The Rev. J. Kayll desires to express his sincere gratitude for the large sympathy and practical assistance sincerely extended at this very trying" time.
