Speaking at the animal meeting of tho Girls' Friendly Socioty in Auckland. .Bishop Averill said that n groat need in Auckland was more hostols for girls. ■Ho thought of ,boys and girls wlio came in from the country, and began on small wages. If tho Church could only provide suitable hostels for theso they would be doing a great work for • tho young people. Later, when speaking of tho work of the society, Bishop Averill expressed the opinion that if tho G.F.S. took up some educational glasses like Hie Workers' Educational Association, it would bo a good thing, for many of tho gjrls would welcome something wider in the educational line, as education was now in tho air for all.
