It stated that the Home was opened in June, 1884, and that aitty one inmates were received into the Home during these two first years. Of these, 18 had returned to domestic service, 8 had been restored to their friends, 6 had married, and 12 were still in the Home in the end of June, 1886.. Of those 12, 8 are now in domestic service, one is restored to her friends, and two are married. From August, 1886, to the end of June, 1887, 25 additional inmates were admitted into the Home and 7 more had been received up to the end of September. Of these 32 inmates admitted since the end of June, 1886, 11 are in service, 10 restored to their friends, and 7 are at present in the Home. During the 3i years sinco tlio Home was opened, 93 inmates, besides 47 infants, had m all been received, of different nationalities and Christian denominations. The earnings of the inmates for the past year amounted to upwards of £91. Miss Hall was still matron, and Miss Aldridge assistant. Mrs Constant had returned to England pr Kenderdine was still Honorary Medical Officer to the institution, and in some cases of emergency Dr. Mackellar had also acted. There was still a mortgage of £350 upon the property, on which interest had to be naid The Committee were very desirous to be relieved of this burden of debt. The thanks of the Committee were pqnpoiallv due to Mrs Somervell, who, Sugh her trustee, Mr J. M Clark, con tinned to give annually to the Home the interest of £1,000. They also tendered Selr thanks to the Synod for the grant of £50 received from the managers of the " Church Gazette " in 1886. Susday - school Board. - The Rev. Toseoh Bates submitted the report of this iK It stated that 12 meetings had been held during the year, with an average attendance of six members, and that theie had been four conferences. The sale of the Board's publications had realised £53 10s 6d, and the subscriptions from Sunday -5 BoAßt>.-The Rev W. Tebb. presented the following report from the above Board:-"That the denominational Guardians have assumed the position and nrSges accorded to them by the Burials Act with respect to the Anglican portion of thlvVaikomiti Cemetery. That it has been determined to open a Church of Eng land cemetery on a portion of the St. Johns CoUege estate at Tamaki and that for the meantime the use of the old bunai Sound of St. Thomas, Tamaki, has been resumed." The Board recom mended : That the Synod should direct theKoeesan Secretary to charge the Bum «Se grays tf r b 0 ? as= hileS tWee to be doubled.-Notice was for this Archaeacoy followin g ad - torn 62t0 65 ; scholars, from «M to "13-baptisms, from 136 to 164; mumcants, liom ou& _ >h receipfcs "TJ I CamfS. -Col.

the church for diocesan objects, the con tents of such boxes being paid from time to time to the Standing Committee for the benefit of such objects.' (2) In clause 7 the word • shall' was altered to ' may,' oa follows :— ' The doors of the Cathedral may be kept unlocked during the day for those who may desire to enter for private prayer and meditation.1 (3) The next fol lowing words were struck out, viz., ' when provision can be made for the payment of a caretaker.'—The consideration of the report was postponed till Monday. Opening Day of Synod.— Mr T. Wells, having obtained leave, moved, " That with a view to encourage the attendance of the country representatives at the sittings of the .Synod it is- desirable that the opening day of the session be Tuesday, and that his Lordship the Bishop be requested to give effect to this motion."—After discussion a division was taken with the following result: Ayes—clergy, 21; laity, 30. Noes clergy, 15 ; laity," 16. The motion was therefore declared carried.

Condolence with Maori Church.—Mr Henry T. Clarke moved, " That this Synod desires to express its heartfelt .sympathy with the Maori Church in the Northern Archdeaconry at the loss they have sus tained in the removal by death of three of their clergymen and one of their leading laymen, and trust that the vacancies thus caused may soon be filled up by earnest and zealous men, who will carry on the good work of their predecessors." The proposer extolled in very high terms the Maori clergymen who had died during the past year.—Mr C. J. Wilson seconded the motion. — The Rev. P. Walsh en dorsed the warm tribute of praise paid by Mr Clarke to the deceased clergy men. — The Rev. F. Gould and Mr R. C. Barstow gave in their testimony to the worth of the late, Ihaka te Tai. — Archdeacon Clarke also spoke highly in praise of the deceased natives, and expressed his gratification at the proposal of condolence.—Col. Haultain considered it matter for regret that Maori representatives were no longer seen in the Synod.—When the motion was put, the members of Synod rose to their feet and only resumed their seats when it had been carried.

Standing Committee.—The Synod then went into committee to continue its con sideration of the Standing Committee's re port. First of all the discussion was re sumed upon the following proposition by Mr Rice: "That in the opinion of this Synod the payment of the assessments due from parishes or districts for diocesan or general objects, and the payment of sums due for interest and sinking fund, should be made a first charge upon any moneys accruing to such parishes and districts from funds under the administration of tho Standing Committee." Mr Upton moved as an amendment tho substitution for tho words after " first charge upon," of the fol lowing : —"The parish funds unless other wise ordered by the Synod." Tho Rev. C, M. Nelson insisted strongly that tho in cumbent's stipend .should be the first charge upon parish funds.—Mr Speight remarked that not a Synod could be held without this annually-recurring whine over linance. It would be a blessed day for the diocese when the endowments were all swept away so far as districts were concerned. Mr Rice's and Mr Upon's propositions would have the effect of opening the people's eyes to existing anomalies. They had too much machinery and too little fuel an'l oil to drive it. Tho resolution would tend to the equal isation of stipends. He did not think either motion or amendment practicable, and therefore would voto against them. At the next Synod he liODod a drastic resolution would be brought down for the present state of things was unsatisfactory in the extreme. —The Rev. Mr Marshall entered a protest on behalf of country parishes where the whole of the offertories were little enough to eke out the pittance paid to the clergy men. In his own case the three principal sources of his stipend were guaranteed to produce £150, and he had only re ceived £64, and tho people had done their best, too. The maintenance of the clergy man should be the first charge.—Dr. Pur chas expressed sympathy for the country clergy, and considered things would not much improve until there was a Clergy Sustentation Fund in exis tence. —Mr Batgor thought the question was beintr misunderstood.—Mr Doonin de nounced the motion a.s the most unseemly that had ever been brought before tho Synod. Tho Diocesan Synod was arrogat ing to itself powers which the General Synod dared nob touch. Tho motion con templated the repudiation of the contract to pay ministers' stipends. Commercial morality was low, but he hoped it had not yet come to this.—Mr Rico pointed out that the motion was brought forward to deal with cases like that of St. Matthew'n, which had borrowed £70 from the Home Mission Society, and still owed £55. He asked leave to withdraw the latter part of the motion, but this was refused.— Progress was reported, and leave given to sit again on Monday at 4 p.m. The Synod then adjourned.

Annual Church Meeting.—The annual church meeting in connection with the Diocesan Synod was held in the Choral Hall last evening. His Lordship the Bishop of Auckland presided, and there was a large attendance of the clergy and others. The Diocesan Choral Association was also represented, and anthems and hymns were sung by members at intervals. The Rev. T. H. Sprott read a paper on " The Church and Politics," and the Rev. J. S. Hill read a paper on " Christian Unity." Both productions were of a very interesting character, and received much attention. Pioceedings were terminated with the bene diction.

John Lamb, Esq. Dear Sir,—lt has been on my mind for some time now to drop you a line about your Patent Porridge Meal. I believe you are aware I have Buffered considerably from injury to thestomach from tea-tasting, and having consulted my medical adviser, he strongly recommended Porridge for breakfast, which I have taken until I heard of your Patent Porridge Meal. I may here say the Oatmeal soon caused unplea santness, sourness of the stomach, and pimples and spots, with irritation, on the surface of the body. From this I was glad to get away, and at once took to your Patent Porridge Meal. With it I find none of tho irregularities com plained of above, but a most palatable Porridge, and the whole system free from unpleasantness or irritation. 1 can strongly recommend it, and certainly think you should do a large trade in such an excellent article.—Yours very truly, (Signed) FREDK. WHITEHEAD. Industrial School, Kohimarama, Auckland, Juno 2,1887. Mr John Lamb. Bir,—We have now been using your Patent Porridge Meal at this school for two months, and I consider it but right to inform you that wo all (staff as well as boys) like it so well that I would find it a difficult matter to get them to ■return to using oatmeal. It is without a doubt a splendid article of diet. I may add on my representing to the Education Department in Wellington that I waß using your Patent Por ridge Meal instead of Oatmeal, I received authority from Rev. Mr Habens, Secretary for Education, to continue its use in the school. -y °U^ned h) fUlly ' GEORGE P. HOGAN, Manage;, Ponson Auckland Ma 30,1887. Mr John Lamb Dear Sir,—l think it a duty to let you know results of your Patent Porridge Mai on our youngest boy. He was weakly, and refused every food preparation that could be got. but upon getting some of yours he took to it at once, and afterwards nothjiig would satisfy mm but this porridge. Five or six times a day is not too much for nim, and seeing it being prepared cried until he got it. He is now strong and healthy, and can eat anything. Wishing you W. CARDBB. Orphan Home, ParnelL May 25,1887. Mr John Lamb: .... : Dear Sir,—We are greatly pleased with your Patent Porridge Meal, having used it for some tim c. The children all like the Patent Porridge Meal better than anything they have had before.
