UNIQUE LECTERN
CHURCH OF ST. BARNABAS COMMEMORATION RECORD A particularly fine piece of work, a lectern, will be dedicated at St. Barnabas’s, the Mount Eden Anglican Church, at the morning service on Christmas Day. The lectern, placed, in conformity with custom, on the south side of the chancel steps, has been given by parishioners as a thanks offering for blessings received during the past 50 years of church life in Mount Eden, and in commemoration of the SOtli anniversary of the dedication of the old St. Barnabas’s Church on Christmas Day, 1847. The design. So far as New Zealand churches are concerned, is unique. It is of the same type as of the early sixteenth century lectern in Lenham Church, Kent, England, the desk being constructed with two bookboards, one for the old testament, and one for the new, and can be turned on a pivot. Standing on the pedestal the structure is about sft. 6in. high, and is built in oak. . The new addition was designed by Mr. J. C. Blechynden, church architect, at Hamilton, and was executed by Lindsay, Lerke, Ltd., of Hamilton.
