and there is good voason to expect that, as tho wilnhrity of our climate becomes bettor known in Kuropo, more visitors vill come to this country year by year, able and willing to render v.-i valuable assistance in ministering to our rapidly increasing popu lation. Ami in such cafes tho advantages will generally 1)0 reciprocal; for the clurjry of an established Church have much to learn from the self-reliant, action of younger sister churches unfettered by Slnto control, and then- experience [gained during a sojourn in New Zealand is. likely to bo serviceable to the .''lunch in England, in the transition utago—from establishment to disestablish ment, through which that ancient and vonciated Church will soon havo to pass, if .she is not already passing.

It is right that I should hero remind tho Synod that the accounts of the St. John's College Trust—tho clearness ami .accuracy of which are proverbial—were kept for fourteen years, at no cost to the ec-LutO, by the lion. Culonel Uaultain, who resigned tho ollico of Honorary Treasurer in July last, Tlio Church of tho Province of New Zealand, and of this Diocese in particular, is much in debted to Colonel Hitiilt.iin for the ad mirable uiiimicr in which tho finances of tho College yon) manured by him during so many years, and which was considered do serving of npucial coiiimeiidation by the TiUHlsOouimiUceof tho lastCieneral Synod. The Synod will bo gratified to know that Iho t'ol!i;::o buildings at Tumuki conlinuo to be used for educational purposes, .-md are well eared for, by the Rev. T. F. King, who conducts therein a flouritfhing private boardiiifi-school for boys.

Ink Oiu-uuh (liiAjjaiAK School.—The Governors of the Coliogc have recently awarded a scholarship ut tho College to the head boy of om1 llrnmmar School, in reegg nilion of (ho example that ho has et;t to tho school by dtligcnno and good conduct. It is to be hoped that v tjnccofsioii of boys, char.-ic!: ri:._,( |.y habits cf industry and paiiifUdiiiijr, and by a lii»h ponso ot lionour, «ill, year by y«ir, pvovo llmmscivw worthy of tho like promotion.

Tho rcvonuo from the ciidou-mcnt is, 1 am wry to sny, so small that it will at present do no more than pay off part of the debt incurred some veins.

o in nnprovir.tr the fabric of the school

(Jiiimcii .Day School.—Our only other Chinch Day School in Auckland is that of St. Matthew's parish ; al, which, as I am informed, the average daily ulti ndunco last yrar was DO, boys and pMU. No child at this s-ehool is obliged to lie present at, tho instructiuu in Holy Scripture without the purcnta' consont ; but all—of what ever di-nomi;iii(.ion—glu-Hy allow their children to receivo religious to.\c)iin<' with tho.se of the Cliiireti.

J.tj'Xicmi.-:; Tkacuimi in Bo.uti) Schools. —It is my linn conviction that, but for tho mutual jealousy of a comp.n-ati;cly small uuuibor of tlio |)o]ni)ai,ioi), ihosume willing ness of paro,..ls that their cliiltlron should rcccivo ivligious iiiftruction in tlio Govern. munt nuhuola would he found to exist throughout tho colonies of Australasia. The roadiue.-s of a small minority of tlio popula tion to withhold from their own children tho religious teaching that they approve, lest the majority should have their children taught that which they also piofer, is an instance of tho illibcrality and'tho tyranny of tho so-culled "nnFCctnrian"pnrty. Their action ist-curcoly compatible \\ illi tho Gospel rule, "to do to others as you would they should do to you ;" and it has been com pared, not inaptly, to the advice given by tho false mother in "tho judgment of Solomon," who preferred the death of tho child to leaving her rival in tho contented possession of her own.

Oun Gki'H.vn lloms continues to supply tliu need for wliich it was founded, in v manner highly satisfactory to all concerned in its important work, greatly owing to the continuous interest that baa been taken in

it for many years by the Hon. Secretary, Mr O. P. Pierce. The number of children in the Homo at present is 52, namely, 37 boys and 15 girls, all but one being at the pro pont time in good health. In February the Homo sustained a great loss by the death of its honorary medical officer, Dr. Goldsbro', who for many years had taken a fatherly in torcstin the orphans, and had in various ways eared for their health and happiness. Dr. Goldsbro' had been a member of the Diocesan Synod since ISOS, and held for several years the ollicc of Honorary Treasurer ; and was also a valuablo member of the Pension Board of the Diocese. The children of tho Home have lost another kind friend by the death of Mr Barton Ireland, who also was a member of this Synod, and took an active part in ifc-3 deliberations.

St'NUAY-school '. —lt is greatly to be re gretted tlittt the Synod does not receive at its aimual meeting a report on the condi tion .of the Sunday-schools throughout the Diocese. T have much reason to fear that these schools, which are our only instru mentality for imparting definite Christian instruction to many of our children, arc very deficient in number, and that the teaching hi a large proportion of them is far from satisfactory. Almost the only opportunity I have at present of ascertain ing the value of the teaching given in some of our larger schools is from the reports of those who examine the candidates for the Bishop's prizes annually given by me ; and these- reports do not testify to accuracy in the knowledge o! most of thosoholnrs who present themselves for examination. An a chio 1 means of improving the teaching given in our Sunday-schools, and of increasing their number, 1 have on several occasions urged the Synod to provide a stipend for the oilice of Inspector of Sunday Schools; and I now ng;.in remind the Synod that the appoint ment of si eh tin officer is of the utmost importance for the religious teaching of Uiou.-ands of our children, und that it can-

not well be effected until provision is mudo fur the necessary cxpcnsen of the Inspector. Tho school- that acquitted themselves best,

at Llio l;k-t examination for (he Bishop's \nixv* wero—thoeo of (lie Holy Trinity, l-'uvuiiiiu'l; St. Sepulchred, Auckland; tlio Holy Trinity, Otahuhu; and All Saiui.-1, Auckland ; tlio first prize being

warded to n boy of tho Avondale School.

Lay- Hbadkk.s.—-In somo of our country districts tho .Sunday-school is superintended by the lay ruader, without whose efforts it rioidd not be kept together. To such lay readers we are greatly indebted for their good work, especially as they are in many ousts brethren much in need of rest on the Lord's Ony, after six days' of hard labour of body or mind,

During the past year licenses have, been if-'Siiod by me to Mr F. Bluck, of Waitara ; Mr J. f.indlcy, of To ivopurii ; Mr T. F. ftnwcombG, of Churchill ; Mr C. D. Huka tere, of Kaitaia ; and Mr A. Palmer, of Awhitu. The students of St. John's Col lego arc always willing to assist tho clergy of tho country districts in the Sunday ser vices, when requested to do so by riie ; and fiom some of them, especially Mr Tobin, much help of this kind has been re ceived during tho past year.

Otiikr AnENaiKH Needed.— The steady increase in the number- of our clergy and lay readers, and in tho general efficiency of their niini.-lrations, is a fuot for which we cannot be too thankful; but it would be nn unworthy manner of showing our grati tude (r. ignore another fact equally obvious,

namely, that there is a vast number of per sons in the DiocefcO, professing to belong fo our communion or unattached io any section u( tki: Church Catholic, on whom no direct influence is at present exercised by the i:iji!i.- !:afio> sof O'.ir clogy. These periods belulii! in no one class, of the population, but are to be found among the poorer and tho most ignorant sections of it, and also among the prosperous and the well informed - those who seem to say, We are " rich and i:M.-ieas-fcci with goods and have need of nothing" (licv. iii. ]"/), and those whom St. Paul wijuld have styled " wi.-e. in their own conceit.-." The most difficult work of the Church at the pre-ent time, and that in which if is most Christ like to labour, k the si eking of these " lost " ones-lost, that is,

••a far a- any public recognition of God's CNiVlfiicc and llin Fatherhood is. con cerned, or any profession of regard for Hi.s honour. Xoi. only for their own sake, but for tho sake alto of the many whom their example of indifference trill affect for the worse, it is the duty of flic Church to go in search of tlic-0 "lost" ones until they are found. Their designation of the

'lot ' implies that they too belong to the (ioi.il Shepherd, and that it is His will that. Ihoy l.c brought back to His fold. Of the multitude.:) who live without Cod in the world, many hnvo received no deiiuito touching about Him in their youth, many have had the good s-cid that was sown in their hearts "choked with tho care of the world and tho decoitfulness of riches, ' and many have been alienated from God by iiiit'ivprct-'cutations of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. To win i'or Him tho souls of the ignorant, the vicious, and the indifferent, tl.e Church mv»:, by methods adapted to to or.r times and circumstances, go in seaich of those who have strayed. As the cultivator of the earth makes life of every improved contrivance within his reach, to prcparo the soil and to sow his seed, so must tho_ Church in these days supplement her primitive organisation by "diversities of ministrations" (1 Cor. xii. 5) if her mission is to be fulfilled. The number of men and women possessing somo know ledge, of parts of the material world has greatly increased in recent years ; and that knowledge, very limited in extent and superficial as it commonly is, tends un lmpptfy to exclude from the ordinary mind the_ thought of all that is immaterial and invisible. It is therefore to be expected that, in the days to come, tho number of those who are inclined to worship the crea ture instead of tho Creator will go on increasing. But this fact need not causo Christian* to despair, if the Church is true to her mission, " becoming all things to all men (1 Cor. ix. 2-2), and making the noblest use of tho discoveries of natural science, by enforcing them—"precopt upon precept, lino upon lino" (Is. xxviii. 10), to declare tho unchanjrcablencss and tho wis dom of Almighty God. To discharge aright this paramount obligation the Church needs to possess, at the centres of population, a learned clergy, commanding the respect of tho most intellectual of their fellow citizens, and being thereby capable of influencing them in matters connected with the highest learning—the sciences of morality and reli gion. Mindful of thisnecessity-—thecontinu ous supply of a body of learned clergy, tho (jeueral Synod, at its session of ISS3, autho rised tho removal of St. John's College to the neighbourhood of Auckland, in order that our students might have tho benefit of at tending the classes of the University Col lege. Tho teaching there received—from Professors distinguished for their learning —in classics, mathematics, and natural science, combined with the systematic theo logical course of our own College, will, we may hope, result in a stall of clergymen " thoroughly fnrnvshed" (2 Tim. iii. 17) in mind and spirit " unto all good works" of the ministry. Tj supply other require ments of our people in this Dioceso, addi tional labours of love have, during the last fey,- years, been undertaken and carefully organised.

Oii;r,s' Fwekiily Society.— Among these is the I:iris' Friendly Society, of which I trust that there will before long be a branch established in every district of this Dioccso. Tho purpose of the Society is to befiiend young women, especially those who arc nway from their parents, by encouraging them to live Christian lives, and helping them to obtain suitable employment. This work is ollec'ed by means of a staff of lady associates, whoso duty it 13 to take a motherly interest in thoso members with whom they are specially connected, gather ing them together periodically for social intercourse, watching over them as over daughters or younger sisters, and making known their circumstances, when necos s iry, to other associates, resident in districts to which thor members may remove, for domestic service or other' employment. The Society is, accordingly, a most valu able coadjutor to tho clergy, in a highly important and very difficult duty, in which this As?or-i;itinn of Christian ladies is speci ally lilted to attain the end desired.

Tim S.uloiss' Kkrt and Home has also been recently established ; and by it wo liava good hope that many men and boys, engaged in a seafaring life, arc being and will be helped to lUx a Christian life, and that many will bo roseued from evil ways. Though "The Rest" is not officially con ncotcd with the Synod, it was established by a few Churchmen ; and much of the good work that is done in cennection with it is effected by tho sympathy and the self denying exertions of Churchwomen, in concert with the zealous labours of our Missionary, Mr H. E. Foil.

Missionary, Mr H. E. Foil. Womkn-'s Home.—Since the last session i of tho Synod another very necessary work has boon begun by some of our people, namely, that of a Women's Home, for tho rescue of women who have gone astray, and ; who desire to return to a virtuous life. The Homo is under the management of a committee, consisting of the Archdeacon of Auckland and two other clergymen, and throe ladies. Deaconesses.- Nearly all the Rood work cll'octed Ijy means of two of these institu tions, and much that has been done by the third, has been accomplished by the ministry of women; and I trust that in

Deaconesses.- Nearly all the Rood work cll'ucted Ijy means of two of these institu tions, and much that has been done by the third, has been accomplished by the ministry of women; and I truet that in

each succeeding year our staff of such workers will bo much larger than in the one before it, until they again occupy the place in ho Church that was held by them in tr« earliest, days of the Gospel, as we find accorded in the wi Rings of St. Paul '• From tho tenor of his languago," says the learned Bishop Lightfoot (Ep. to Phil, p afie ISO, 2nd edition), "it seems clear that in the Christian communities of proconsular Asia at ull events tho institution (of Deaconesses) waa so common that ministerial organisation would be considered incomplete without it " The Dikchaboed Prisoners' Aid Society continues its operations on behalf of men who, on being released from the Auckland gaol after terms of imprisonment, desire to gain by industry an honest livelihood. The work of tho Society during the past year has been done almost entirely by (ho lf ol]i Secretary, Mr F. G. Ewington, who taken his scat in the Synod for tho first time to dny. Tho details of tho work of thw Society^ like thoso of another diocesan institution of which I have spoken, are not for obvious reasons, such as it is desirable to publish ; but the last report of the work will bo left with the Secretaries of the JSynod, and can bo lead by those who wish to know something of the means by Which aid is afforded to this pitiable .section of tho community. I would ask members of the Synod to obtain contributions to the funds of this Society, in token of their appre. ciation of the good work that it lias accofn* plished, and of their gratitude to tho HouY Secretary for the lime, thought, and per; sonal attention that ho hiis ungrudgingly given to its a flu Ira.

Tjie Auckland Gaol.—Mr Ewihgtod is specially qualified to represent us in this labour of love* inasmuch as he has, for nearly three ywirs, conducted public wor ship in the Auckland Gaol, much to the benefit of the prisoners, on alternate Sun days—first with Mr Larkins, and, since his departure for England, with the Rev. J, S. Hill. Mr Hill has, since his return' to Auckland in ISS3, kindly acted as Chaplain to those of our people who are in detention at Mount Eden, by whorrt his ministrations are highly appreciated ; and has also done much other valuable work for us in Anckj land and elsewhere, without making any charge on the funds of tho Church.

The Hospital has been regularly visited by Archdeacon Dudley and the Kov. J. Xi Davis, and Sunday and other services havfl been conducted for the patients by them and Messrs Batgor, H. H. Lusk, and D. H, Lusk, under the Archdeacon's direction. •

Tiik Om People's Home has been visited regularly, and Sunday services have been held by Mr Garland under the same direc tion.

The Lunatic Asylum has been visited regularly by the Kov, J. Haselden, who bat. held a service there once a weekj when not absent from Auckland on duty for the Did; cese.

The Selwyn* MeSiohial F(jndj by tnean* of which we hope to provide the stipend of a chaplain for some of these institution!, has now a capital of £986 10s 6d, yielding an income of about £CO.

CE.METr.nr Chaplain.—The trustees of tho General Cemetery have guaranteed the sum of fSO a year towards the stipend of 0 chaplain, whose duty it is to conduct the service at funerals in that cemetery, when ever desired to do so by any of the Auckland clergy. This sum has been supplemented during the past year by grants of £5 each. from tho Vestries of the parishes of AU Saints', St. Mary's, St. Matthew*, and St. Sepulchre's.

Tiik Pension Fond.—The office of Ceme' tory Chaplain was first held, in the beginning of the yet'.r, by an aged clergyman, whotS strength Was not adequate- to the responsi bilities of a pastoral charge. The chaplaincy stipend at the present rate, namely £70 a year, supplemented by a grant from the Pension Fund, might always pro ride a maintenance for one of our senior clergy, whoso experience of life and ripeness of Christian sympathy would be specially valuable in ministoring to the sick and suffering in some of our public institutions. The capital of the Pension Fund is now £8,166 17s 7d. Nearly all our Auckland parishes, and many of the'country districts, have during tho past year complied with the recommendation of the Synod, that a special collection should be mode for this fund on the first Sunday of November, • The Maoris..—The work of the Church among the Maori population of the Dioceso continues to progress. In February I had the pleasure of admitting to Deacons' Orders a chief of tho Aopowri tribe, whoso district is in tho extreme north of this island ; this addition making our Maori clergy thirteen in number. Our new deacon received careful teaching from the Venerable Archdeacon Clarke, B.I),, ■whose ministrations to our native fellow church men, in nearly every district of tho Diocese, are of the greatest value to the Church. In Febiurary I had tha gratification of presiding at aMaori Church Boa id, towfhich representa tives of all the congregations in tho Diocese were invited. The Board met at Faihia, in the Bay of Islands ; and amongst other re solutions of a practical character one was passed requesting me to send two of our most efficient Maoii clergy from the North of the Dioceso on a missionary tour in the southern Waikato, where the tribes, alien; ated by the war, had held aloof from tho clergy for more than twenty'years. Tho two clergy chosen for this mission were everywhere kindly received by their brethren of the South, and were cor dially invited to repeat their visit after the winter. This is the first etep, we may hope, of an early return of the whole popu lation to. the oace disaffected districts, to their allegiance to Jesus Christ. St. Stephen's Native School.—Our school for Maori boys in Parnoll continues to do honour to all who are concerned in its management. The number of scholar! at present is forty-nine, including appren tices. After the recent visit of the Govern ment Inspector, he was able to report very favourably of the school in all its depart ments. From other laudatory statements contained in tho report, I have extracted the following, for the information of the Synod:—'Tho order is good. . . .The tono is very good indcod ; all the boys who have been at the school for any time are much attached to it, and to tho masters. The methods in use are good. ,',i.-.i . Everything that is done is done thoroughly. . . . The writing andarithmetic are very good. . . The map-drawing is singularly good. . . The school is doipg. excellent work. . . The Managing Committee take great interest in the school, and pro vide everything that seems to be necessary to promote its welfare.' The Committee re ferred to consists of the Kov. R. Burrows, General Gossett, and Messrs F. HulljT. Kissling, and S. Percy Smith, who are ap pointed by the trustees. Mr F. H. Hull was a member of the Committee until obliged by illness to resign his seat, and took a great interest in the well-being of the school. I

The Melanekian Mission.— l have not any recent intelligence to communicate to the Synod respecting our mission to.the islands of the S.W. Pacific. Bishop Selwyn, in his last letters, written in June, described the work generally as encourag ing : and in the Florida Islands,,the pro gress made has been especially marked, under the self denying efforts of the Rev. A. Penny. The stall' of missionaries has been increased by the arrival from England of the Eev. J. It. riant, M.A. The Bishop and Mr Penny will probably both leave Norfolk Island for England in the month of November; and before the end of that mouth the mission vessel Southern Crpiß will, it is expected, return to her anchorage in the Auckland harbour.

New Churches.—A substantial andliand some church was opened at Ellerslie. in December last, and arrangements are being made for building several moro in different parts of the Diocese. Paujsii Accounts —I desire to call the attention of the clergy in charge of parishes and districts to the last clause of Section 23 of our Diocesan Statute, No. 4, which directs that "An abstract of the year's accounts shall be sent to tho Bishop or his Commissary, as soon as conveniently may be after December 31," and that he is to lay them on tho table at the next session of the Diocesan Synod. Diocesan- Returns.—ln order that our Diocesan statistics, required by the General Synod, may be as complete as possible when presented to that Synod, at its session in Auckland early in 18SG, I again request the clergy, and other parish officers, to help the archdeacons to obtain in good time the in formation that is asked for.

The Kkport of the Standing Committee will now be laid on the tablo, giving a summary of the business that has been transacted by them on behalf of the Synod during tho last twelve months, together with a list of the matters with which you will be asked to deal during tho present soesion.
