BISHOP'S VISIT The Bishop of Wellington preached at St Mark’s Church last evening to a large congregation. The visit was principally for the purpose of making an appeal for the Wellington Cathedral Fund, and the Bishop’s Fighting Fund. ' The Bishop announced that five members of the church promised donations aggregating £675, and it was his desire that everyone in the district should assist in some way. Fifty laymen and fifty clergymen at the recent Synod had donated no less than £6OOO, and it was gratifying the response that was being received even from small parishes. The Bishop announced that he was travelling round to every parish in the Diocese. Everyone could ‘JtsXist, and the importance of the pro-, ject made it necessary for all to make a sacrifice. Special hymns were sung, Mrs F. G. Bath presiding at the organ. At the conclusion of the service the Bishop pinned Cathedral and Fighting Fund badges on voluntary helpers, until the supply was exhausted. The Rev W. F. Stent, vicar, assisted the Bishop in conducting the service. BOGEY COMPETITION.
