The sixty-third anniversary of All Saints’ Church was fittingly observed on Friday last. Holy Communion was celebrated in the early morning when a goodly number of communicants were present. The evening service was largely attended and Archdeacon Jermyn, of Greymouth, gave an inspiring address. The church was beautifully decorated with white lilies and evergreens. The choir rendered special music and the festival anthem “The Sun Shall be No More Thine Everlasting Light ” (Woodward) was beautifully sung. After the service the congregation went into the schoolroom for a social gathering. Congratulatory speeches were given by the Hon. H. L. Michel, Archdeacon Jermyn, and the vicar. A musical programme was presented by the Wright Quartette, Miss A. Lynn, Miss Sherriff, Miss Nancy Wright, and Mrs Staveley, while Mr George, of Arahura, gave a selection on the mandolin. Refreshments were handed round and a happy time was spent in social intercourse. JUKe Festival sendees were continued on the Sunday, when there were good congregations.
