THE ANGLICAN SYNOD.

FINAL DAY. The annual Synod of the Diocese of Auckland was concluded yesterday afternoon under the Presidency of Bishop Neligan. Archdeacon Calder moved: "That this Synod begs to tender its sincere symI pathy with the Rev. W. M. Dv Rieu in ] his illness, and trusts that he may be restored to health and to his place in this Synod."' Mr J. H. Upton seconded, and the motion was agreed to. Archdeacon Willis moved: 'That this Synod very warmly commends the noble work being done at St. Mary's Home to the sympathy and support of the people of the diocese. The mover spoke in eulogistic terms of the services and enthusiasm of the matron of the home. If more help did not come forward the work would have to be curtailed. He would look upon that as a great calamity, if not a great crime. Whatever else suffered that work should proceed and should be extended. The motion was seconded by Mr Batger, and unanimously carried. ORGAN FOR ST. MARY'S. On the motion of Mr C. J. Tunks, seconded by Mr V. E.
