Clsi-GY.—Our effective staff of Euronean clea-gy has been increased by tAvo. and of Maori clergy diminished by two, since the last Session of tha Synod. The Rev. Thomas Ciiai-max.—Since that time, also, the Rev. Thomas Chapman, who waa the senior clergyman of the diocese, has entered into his rest. For some time before his death his service of God had been chiefly that o* suffering, in Avhich, as in his active life cf former years, his constant prayer was that the will of the Lord might be done. Mr Chap man c__me to Few Zealand in connection with the Chut'c!-. Missionary Society in I.3Q,andhisfirst station was on tbe Avestern bank of Lake Rotorua. In that district, and afterwards at Maketu, his uniailingc-urage in danger and the devotion of all his poAvers to the winning; of souls to _'• iri_t, gained for him tho love and veneration of the Native race ; among Ayhom ho did the ids ministry." liis very countenance and the tonefaf his voice inspired confidence and affec tion ia all who had to do Avith him, whether Maoris or Europeans; and those who kne.v him most intimately loved him best. Ths Re\". Matthew Taupaivl.—Of the two Maori clergy whose name.; have been removed from our list, one has gone to the Diocese of J-unadin ; and the other, tbe Rev. Matthe.v ' -Upaki, died at Paihia ou July 10, after a short iane.s brougat on by exposure whilst minister ing to a brother Maori clergyman who needed his help. Matthew Taupaki waa. of the RaraAva ti-be, in tha north of this islaud, and a.&s bap tised in _F2. Avhen about 15 year.; of age. For five years from ISSG he received systematic instrv.ction ircm Sir W. .Martin and tho late Aroadoacon Kissling; and in 18i5l he was ordained by the present Bishop of Lichfield. ■:■-.■-. ass-Stunt minister to the lute Archdeacon Wjliiams of Waimate, who entertained a very high opinion of bis worth as a man and <-i • ii-__ister of the Gospel. lie was indeed iboroughly rlevoted to Ids ministerial duties, r.r.f. V.us a ear., of genuine and deep humility, and of real spirituality of mind. His earnest ness of purpose and rare good sense, combined with much tact', gave, him vary great influence ■with the people of his extensive district; and CA-isod him to be loved and r -spected wherever be wns known, by European set-lers as svell as by his own countrymen. By the death of -Yl&ttkeAV T;iu);-aki, whose name is worthy of being linke-1 with that of his brother mis3ion a-.-yrfhoni--- Chapman, tho Maori Church has sustained a 0./ns that will i.e. felt by it for many i-eiit. t. o "a.-?. Wiiile we pray that hue places of thee.; servants jof God may be supplied by men of like mind, let us biess i «i. Holy Manic for them depai-tod in his faith and.fear, beseech ing Ii; at to give us grace to i'otlow their good ©'.-aw-iples. Tun ';„;,-. Edwabd Craio Sttiavap.t, B.A.— At our session in October last J. had the gratifi cation of welcoming to the diocese the Rev. E-F.-.r"d fe-ef f Stuart, who had i_.cout!y arrived from Ausiru'lia, and Avho iias since then been eng-ured in ..teaching the elder boys at St. Ste phcnri N.-itive School, with a vie./ mainly of preparing a higher class of M-ori candidates for Holy Orders. I hoped that Mr Stuart might be al'owed to remain at Auckland.' to help forward in many ways, as his varied experience would enable hun, ttie work of the Church in this diocese. But the Master had another field of labour for him ; and this Synod, will be asked, almost immediatoly, to Banctiou tho nomination of Mr Stuart to the Bishopric of Waiapu, the Synod of the d'.ocese having unanimously norn iua_-d him to that office at its Session hold in September. Though Mr Stuart's sojourn amongst us will have been bhort. it wiil have enabled the Synod and many of out- people to appreciate the great ioaz, that wo sht.il su-itain by his removal from Auckland. But the Church of Christ in this Ecclesiast-cal Province is one, and no diocese in it can be strengthened Avith out

i all tbe, others being thereby benefitted. "The ' Body is one,"* writes S. Paul; it is God's purpose I that"" tlie members should have the same care f one for another ;" "if one. member be honoured, J all tho membe-s rejoice with it." Mr Stuart I will have our eordiai sympathy in uzidertakir.g \ tlie resi.onsibilities to which lie has b_on called. Tjie Rev. Robekt O'Callagiian Bioos.-Ou Palm Sunday 1 admitted to Deacon s Ur.lers the Ifjv.

As the congregations to which Mr j Biggs is at present- .ipp-infed ioimm.tor era- not able to provide a stipend sufficient: to maintain I a clere-yman, I did not require him to re_:-gn ! his secYdar employment, before r.du-itti;:g him Jto the Die-conate ; but it Avas agreed Fair until jhe should be in a position to devote tlie avuolo lof his time to the work of the ministry, h* should not be-entitled to apply tome foradmis ■ sion to the order of Priests, r.o? to sit as a mcm i bar of tiie Diocesan Synod. ) Lay It Bins ns.—Tiie Liiceu.cdLay Readers of i the Diocese have increased in number by two since October last; two of them having ' resigned their office, ana four othc.s having j been added tc our stall. Of the latter, Mr - Thomos Frederick Gooeh and z-,r Feorge Brettel are helping the, Fey. if. !.'. Faker on tho Wairoa; and Mr Edward _. Phillips ana Mr Edward M. C. Harrison, are doing _good work iv the district of __. Thomas Mission Chapel, j under the direction of tiie Rev. it. S. Hus.-ard, ! Incumbent of S. Matthew's parish, to waose coal avo are indebted lor that budding. Such } extension of the Church'- work as Fi.- if: --avd i has effected in Freeman's .Hay can 0n..., a.? a i rule, be maintained by the. help of Lay Headers ; i and it is much to be desired i hat our stall' of such fyllow labourers with the clergy may be steadily increased. Besides those aylio bold a license under mv hand and seal, t_if-r«« are other Fenders engaged in similar v. or-: for the Church, with my informal sanction. Anions ttiese i would sncciallv name air Henry Worthing.-..:!, who conducts the. Sunday Service iv the gaol, Avhen no clergyman is available lea- Fiat very impor tant duty. Al-CIIOHACONKY ov Auctci,Axr>.—ln .ne i Archdeacoiu-v of Auckland, nofnatiistam.-ng I the regular and Gilicicnt helpof our Lay Readers, !we arc much in AYam, of two additional clergy men ; one to reside in the L'aparoa district ; and. one to minister to the inmates of the Old I'aoole's Ruge, the Hospital, and ihe Ijuinitio Asylum, to rae nrisoneisin the gaol, and to h.lp general.y in tlie work of the Dome Mission. At ou;- last Session a Petition Ava-a received by the Synod from the Vestry of the parish of the iloly S.-pulehre, praying 'for additional inhusicrial je up far tea, Govornme-H inst.xa.runs a.-c .re ! charge of tho mini-tor of that parish,' and tiie i Synod commended the memorial to -he r.-ivotir- I able consideration of the President: but 1 have no hope of being able to obtain the services oi: ;an additional clergyman for such necessary | Avork, until the Synod provide., the stipend required for his maintenance. Tins mattar is I the occasion to me of continual anxiety: not | only on"account of these who are sick ana in j prison and are notvisited hy us a j constantly |as they should be, but because there is reason to j fear Fiat too much Avork or body and mine may sooner or later deprive us of the .-eryie-s o! the clergyman on whom the respoesibility of mini.taring to the inmates of ear hospitals is allowed mainly to r-st. Kvm with the .help of ! a zealous assistant mini .tor Ihe Incumbent of S. Sepulchre's has too many eongiv .atio: _to provide for. Iv all parts of this Archdeaconry the Church's ministrations are extending, ana more is required of tho country clergy than they are able to aceommi-h. I have recently visited the district... botAveen Mount Albert and tiie Forth Ma'ntu-.iU, in which our people are cared for chiefly by the Rev. A'v". F.'da i_. Willis, the a-vFita-t minister of S. Sepulchro's parish ;of whom it is sulilcient to say that, he has emulated the thoroughness' of his friend aud fellow-worker, tho Rev. !!. T. Dudley, the clergyman in charge of these dis tricts. In the Northern Wairoa, our people have built a suitable parsonage, on a very beautiful site, for the Rev. F. T. Baker; and Aye shall probably soon possess a handsome church some raiies further up ihe river on its right bank, erected mainly e.t the cost of a member of the Synod, who i_ entitled to a scat amongst U3 for Paparoa, Te Fahi, Mavmgamroto, and Waipu are now visited regularly by the Rev.

Brown and P. Walsh, ia extending the ministrations of the Church in some pro portiorFco the great increase of the population of the district. Among the . .sible tok-.-ns of tire Church's life in the Archdeaconry are —a new and suitable church at Ouiata opened in 1875, and another church (de-igrred by Mr Walsh) sooa. to be opened at Ingle\rood; tne former beinrr tdttiated about fo_ir miles a-ul the 1.-'tur about twelve, from New flymouth. the chief town of the Archdeaconry. As a ;>r -af tha! our young people at Taraiiaki are reeeivin-.r dei-uito and systematic teaching in the ! _>,!■ and Prayer Book, I may montiou that two Bishop's prizes were av/arded to the children of S. IMaiy's Sunday-School, New Plymouth, at the annual examination held in January last. Ai.O!rD_,_AC_-.--A. ov "Waikato.- I held my annual visitot-ion of the Waikato in April, when I had the pleasure of witnessing the steady progress of the Church's work in nearly all the older settlements of tho district, ami the begin ning of neA. work ia places only recently occupied by European settlers. From FTopuhopu tire Rev. B. V. AsliAvell extends his'ministration.-, in all directions, as far as his bodily strength will allow : and by his consistent life of unselfishness and his love for soul?,, influences for good all who come within nia reach. Europeans and Maoriaa alike. From Hamilton tho Rev. W. (-'aider pays periodical vi.-its to the Piako and VVhata What-a in addition to his regular ministrations at Cambridge and Ngaruawahia ; but the district is much Loo extensive for the carejjof one clergy man, however energetic be may be, and I hone very soon to relieve him of a portion of it by constituting C_y™bridj-0 a seperate charge. Tire Rev. L. C. Brady now holds periodical services at Ngahinapouri on the Waipa, in addition to his other miuistration._ : and i! will not be his fault, but ia consequence oi the uubridged state of the streams betwen Fie Waikato and ICagI.AU, if he does not pay regular quarterly visits to tho latter settlement and its neighbourhood. Tin. Maori Chuj.oh.—l have spoken of the gi-eat h.):^j that the Maori Church has sustiiined since the last session of the Synod ; and I am thankful to speak also of its life and growth. Tho Native Church Board of the Northern division of the Diocese was held in January, at Kaitaia, under the presidency of Archdeacon Clarke, who in his oponing address stated that I ' the work of tho Church was advancing, t ... general conduct of the people had been good, intemperance was on the decline, and that the oonumiaic .nts and attendants at: jhiblic worship were increasing in number.' Resolutions were passed by the Board condemnatory of heathen custom, that still linger among the Native race. At Waimamakn, south of Hokfunga, a sab ■jtantial chutch, of which the cost, was .-;.;r'iA. has been built, and funds are being collected fo-a parsonage, to be occupied by a Maori minister, for whom the people of the district have pro vided an endoAV.nent. At other ldangas also ! places of worship, of a humbler description, have- been erected. At Kaikohe the prople are building a parsonage for their Maori rnini-ter ; and a new church (to cost more than fiisOO. ;s about to be crcctnd at Parengarenga. The r Maori clergy of the t-forth report favourably of I Church's work in their several districts,—that there are now Fay Readers in places where formerly there v/'-i'f. none, Fail, o'aild-.-n ore nor left uubapFzcd, that holy matriiuonyis general, and that there is a rrrcai. demand for Bibles and Fray-a Books, unti that' mmy tribes are -;e ---sjirous of liaving Maori ministers reside..t among tlieni. in the South of the Diocese also there rae tokens of revived faith, and of a desire, ou the par; of some who left us during the war, to ve i.u.ai to \h- dock of the Food Shepherd. In April j held a Confirmation at the principal settlement of the Maoris of the West Coast be tween the Waikato and Raglan Heads: and since- then our tried and excellent Maori minister of the Waikatn, the liev. liei.a 'Fra whitl, has bean, invited to take up his abode In addition to these grounds of hone, 'here is the fact that I have felt justified, by the good work of our four Maori deacons during th; la st two years, in inviting them to Auckland at the nresent time, to be prepared for admission to the. order of Priests. After their ordination, pro bably in December, their powers of helpfulness will bo greatly augmented; and. Aye may hope thai through them others of their countrymen Avill be brought to desire the Avork of eastorsar.d evangelists, and that thus a succession of faith ful Maori clergymen ..illbe continued so long as the two races remain apart.

We may expect to see the Mission vessel _. outhcrn Cross return to its anchorage at Koliimarania before the end of the year. IxTj-Uct-.ssion for Missions.—in comiecfion with the winning back of the misled Maoris of the Southern parts of the Diocese and the gathering in of the heathen cf the Pacific, I Avould, in conclusion, ask you to assist me in • making the ammal observance of a, Day of Intercession for Missions a reality instead of a mere form. His Grace the Archbishop of Fanterbm-v lias su . .o--t-d S. Andrew,. Fay, Friday, November 3*. as a most suitabia day to set apart for the purpose ; and it will probably be observed by members of the Anglican com munion throughout tiie world. I have accor dingly asked the Bishop-nominate of Waiapu to preach tons in the Cathedral Church iv the . evening of that day ; ami 1 now ask all the clergy of tiie Diocese to direct, the thoughts of their people on November 30. as they may be able, to our responsibilities and privileges in the work of -Missions.

At the opening of the lirst session of a : new Synod I desire to record my sense of obligation to the member.-, of the Committee.for ; the ever willing: and efficient help that they ; have given me during t.ln_> term of 01-ioe. As ! out- oi the lay members of the Committee ia not : a member of the new Synod, namely, Mr. Thco. ; Kissling. I cannot allow this opportunity to : pass without specially mentioning the very : great assistance that I have received from him I during the seven years and more that I have i presided at the meetings of Fie Committee. , The Synod of ihe Diocese, as well as the Bishop, is much indebted to him, for giving us tho ; benefit of his legal knowledge and acutoness of ! intellect, as well a. for the many hours of patient Avork that he has devoted to the interests , of the Church. i May God. of His bountiful goodness, keep i us, during tins our Session, from all that may 1 hurt us ; "that we. being ready both in body and : soul, may cheerfully accomplish those tilings ! that lie would have don-, for His glory and tho j good of liis Church, throu-h Jesus Christ our j Lord.
