For some time a senior and junior Ladies' Guild has been hard at work preparing articles for disDosal at the sale. A squad of very enthusiastic boys is busy making useful articles in the carpenter's room at Te Rau College, under the guidance of the Rev. ~H. N. Wright. Mr F. C. Long, M.A., the organiser of the sale of work, is leaving no work undone towards making it a complete success. Confirmation. — The Lord Bishop of Waiapu will administer confirmation in the Church on Sunday, the 3rd inst., at 7 p.m. A large number of candidates will lie presented, including many adults. The confirmees will receive First Communion at the 8 a.m. celebration on Sunday, 10th inst. The Churchman's Penny Library. — The Vicar ' has received from Messrs Mowbray and Co., of London, specimen copies of all books issued by them under the above title. They are marvels of cheapness, beinjr by some of the leaders of the Church, and splendidly printed and produced. We hope to get a number of them for distribu-

tion throughout the parish. The most useful are :— " The Churchman's Handy Dictionary," "Robert Dolling, Mission Priest, a Biographical Sketch," " Our Church : What it Teaches and Offers Us," by Canon Newbolt, " The Prayer Book : What it is and how we should use it," by Rev. Percy Dearmer. Clergy and people alike will find these Tittle books most valuable. We find also that the books on " Bible and Church Difficulties," by the present Bishop of London, are very useful to give or lend to confirmation candidates and others having doubts or difficulties.
