TE AROHA.
(FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Tb Aroha, Friday. The riiiiirterly circuit meeting of the Wesleyan Church was held at Te Aruba this afternoon. The Kev. S. Lawry, superintendent minister of the:district, presided, and there was only a small attendance of church ollicials, Mr 11. Buttle, on behalf of the circuit, cordially welcomed the minister at this his first official meeting in the circuit. The circuit income was found to bn insufficient to meet the increased responsibilities assumed in providing for a married minister, and it was considered desirable to lay the financial requirements before the various congregations of the circuit, with a view of securing increased contributions. In view of the impossibility of working Faeroe and ad jacent places satisfactorily from Te Aroha it was resolved to ask the chairman of the district to sanction the employment of a home missionary to work that end of the district. Private telegrams received here slate that in the rearrangement of the electoral districts To Aroha will be severed from Waikato and attached to the Tauranga electorate. An impression existed that the change as announced would be made, but the intellige-.ee yet lacks official confirmation.
