During thi> past your, in tho archdoaconiy of Walmate, churches have been built by the Maoris iv the settlements of Han^laohia and Kolmnmni; and at Alupara. Kuitata, Oruru; Ohaeawui, and

Wiiimamaku, many of their young men and women have received tho rite of Continuation. Nativo Church Hoard meetings have been held at Alupara and Parawai, tbe latter under tho presidency of Archdeacon Muunsell. I havo

much hope that tho reconciliation that has boon ellected betwoen the Government and the

Maorjs of tho Southern SYaikato and West Coast districts of tho Dloceso will soon result

in the restoration to tho Church of many who were alienated from us by the political troublo* of former years. Partly with a view to such restoration I have appointed tho Rev. i\ T, linker tp tho charge, of fho Waitara district, whoro ho will find full scope for the exercise of all his energies, for tho utilising ofliis know ledgo of tho Maori language, and for giving practical otl'ect. <o his lovo for their taco. which

■ ho has inherited from hlsparcnts, who for many years worked amongst the Maoris in connection with the Church Missionary Society. St. Stephen's Maori School, Pabnbh,.— Our Maori school ot Parnell was never in a more encouraging state than it is at present Tho Government Inspector, on the occasion of his last visit, reported on its condition in the following words:—' Tho Native school nt St. Stephens is now an excellent in stitution. Great improvements havo been mado in tho buildings, especially in tho dormitories: a singing master has been ap pointed; and, in short, everything connected with the school is very satisfactory. The liter ary work, too, is good. The results of the last examination showed that throughout the school tho knowledge possessed by the boys was very sound and accurate.

At the last examination for the McLean Scholarships, two out of four were awarded to boys of this school. Thero nr« at present at S. Stephen's forty eight boardsrs, of whom sovon have recontly boon received from what is known as tho King Country, and two apprentices. Regular touehinp' is given to all the scholars on week days and on Sunday mornings by tho master of tho school; a. da Sunday School is conducted ut S. Stephen's by Mr. W. C. Kensington. Systematic religious instruction has also been given to tho boys by Archdeacon Maunscll, and the Boys. 15, Y. Aslnv»ll, R, Burrows, and P. Walsh. The visiting committee, consisting of General Gossett, tho Rev. R. Burrows, and Messrs Kensington, T.

Tho ilelanesian Mission, which has always been closely ussocia'o* with tho Church of this Dloccae, and in whloh many of ua are inter ested seiu'c.ly less than in our own, continues to extend its operations, and to prosper in tho work whereto God has sent it. The chief event of the paat year in.connootion with tho Mission is tho safe return of tho Bishop, after tho lmzardMft cxperimo«t of sevvral months' sojourn-in the Florida Islands. Boforo leaving, lio had tho rownnl of admitting to Deacon's Ordors Charlog Bupibuana, tho ilrst ordained nativo of that grotii), on tlio ißland of liango, where tho Bishop had spent flvo weeks with his youngost brother missionary. Scarcely second In importance, as a token of tho feeling wth which tho missionaries aro regarded by tho wildest of tho Islanders, Is tho safo return of ]\lr. Lestor Kayo from tho Island of Santa Cruz, after a sojourn thereon of sis weeks, dur ing part of which timo ho stayed in tho Hay in which tho lamented Commodure GoodenotiKh Was killed iv 1575. The Native schools on tho Islands visited by tho Mission are now about fifty in number. Thoy aro the result mainly of tho quiet, patent, and thorough teaching, during many years, of tho Rev. R. 11. Codrington and his coadjutors at Norfolk Island, tho head quarters of tho Mission. (Of these, one of tho most devoted, tho Rev. J. Palmor, is at present in Now Zealand for tho benefit of his health.) If tho forlorn hope, in this last triumphant campaign ot tho Cross, has been hortically led by Bishop tiehvjn and his lieutenant, Mr Lister Kayo, a no less heroic and necessary work, carried on as it wore "in the trenches," has been aoconiplishod by Mr Codrington and his fellow teachers at tho College of S. Barnabas. When men Ijko these are found devoting their lives to this work, and enriching the Church by thoir example, tho least that we can do ia to supply thorn, to the boßt of our ability, with tho funds they requlro for tho maintenance of their schools.

THE STEAMER LALLA RQOKH MISSING.

Messes Waller and Company's s,s. Lallah Bookh left Manukaa for "Waitara on Wednesday afternoon, but up till this moraine' she had not arrived at the latter port, and it is feared she may have met with some accident. At noon to-day we receired the following telegram per United Press Association :—

f ■ NBW PLYMOUTH, this day, noonf— No tidings haVe yet been beard ot the Lalla Bookh. It ia now absolutely cer tain that some serious mishap has befallen the steamer, a? she has not appeared' at either Ka&ian or Waitara.!'

a rnmour h&Ting gained currency to the effect that the Lalla Hookh was observed showing signals of distress by persons on the steamer Macaregor r.n Wednesday night, : we have made extensive inquiiy into the matter. Uur reporter wasunfoitunately unable to see Captain Me Arthur while that gentleman ■vVas in town this morDing, but nai the authority of Captain McGregor, Manager of the Nurthern s.s. Company to state that on tbc last voyage to Waitara the Lallah Bookh was not sighted by the Macgrego'r at all. On toe previous trip, •when the Macgregor was g'ling towards Mannkau, ftbuut nine miles from Heads, the Lalla Rookh /was observed c ming out, apparently bound for Waitara. The wind was fresh aod fair, and the sea smooth. The Ilookh. was under sail and shewed ihe usual masthead light. Captain McArthur denies having seen her making any signals of dis tress by showing the blue li^ht«.

■ Upon arriving at Waitara on the follow ing trip Cap'ain'■■ Me Arthur learned that the Lalla Bookh bad not ar rived ' and therefore on returning to cnehunga, kept close into the land but failed to see any siga of the vessel. He considered that had she sprung a leaK [or hadany accident happened to her machinery she could hiive ead'y run ashore.

Captain Me 1 rthur forwards ua the fol lowing statement.by telegraph late this aft ruoon i—

"ONLHUNG4, this day.-Left'Wa*. tira 9 a.m. on Wednesday with line weather. When nine mi'es south of Mannkau bar met Lalla Kookh. When right abreast the showed a bright light; did not show, distress signals as stated in " Herald." — (Signed) tfIN.LAY Mo ABTHUR(captaiD.)'

Mr John Maguiro. who was a passenger y the s.s Macgref or, make.-a contradictory statement. He says that when £the Lall'u Rookh wal opposite the Mucgrcgor on Wedncaday nij;ut, she showed a blue light, which tho mate of the other steamer saw, and drew Capt, McArthur's attention to it. Cunt. Mr.Arthur, he says, considered the Lalla Koukh was meiely R'ving a " farewell signal," and as she had a fair wind and was close to tbe shore, she could have run ashore at any moment.

It is quite possible that spine accident ha* occurred to the machinery ot the Lalla Kookb, and if so she may be In Kawhia or under Woody Head repairing, or waiting for assistance. She is ia charge of Captain Koblnson, who is w«ll acquainted with iho coast in that locality. Mr Waljor has the yea el insured in the Soutn British oflice for £1,100, £600 of which is re insured in another oflice.
