MANGAORE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

ANNUAL PRESENTATION OF PRIZES.

The annual presentation of prizes of the Mangaore Sunday School was held last Sunday, at Mangaore, when the Rev. A. J. Fariiell addressed the children and later made the presentations.

During the past year the Sunday School lost the services of Mr W. N. Wood, who had been transferred to Wellington. Mr Fariiell spoke of Mr Wood’s keenness and the sincerity of the work that this teacher has carried out.
