CENTRAL OTAGO PRESBYTERY
The Central Otago Presbytery met at Alexandra on Thursday, the moderator, the Rev. G. Dallard, occupying the chair The presbytery sustained calls to two ministers, from the Becks-Lauder parish to the Rev. A. W. Willoughby, the ordination to take place on December 10, and from the Upper Clutha parish to the Rev. R .S. Miller, the ordination to be on December 12 The Rev. I. B Wilson, chaplain to the Seacliff Mental Hospital, addressed the presbytery on the work of the hospital, and stressed the present serious staff shortage. Mental nursing was not the easiest work, hence the considerable compensation by way of high salaries, good accommodation and regular relief from work. The presbytery agreed to issue an appeal to young women to consider mental nursing as a Christian vocation. 1 The clerk of presbytery the Rev. R. R. Welsh, reported that the Assembly Maintenance of the Ministry Committee had approved grants in aid to Ida Valley (£100), Cromwell (£110). and BecksLauder (£115).
