ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING.
TO BE AMALGAMATED WITH CHURCH MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION.
The chief business at the annual general meeting of the Victoria Diocesan Association, which was held resterday at 5.30 p.m. in the Cathedral Hall, was the confirmation of the proposed amalgamation of the V.D.A, and the Church Missionary Association. The Right Reverend the Bishop of Victoria was in the chair, supported by Mrs. Black and the Rev. N. V. Halward (Joint Hon. Secretaries), Lieut.-Col. T. A. Robertson (Hon. Treasurer), the Dean of St. John's Cathedral, and Mr. P. S. Cassidy..."...
The Rev. N. V. Halward proposing the adoption of the annual report touched on several points of interest and asked for a special' vote of thanks for Mrs. Hynes for her splendid work in connection with the Christmas Gift Fund A vote" of thanks to Mrs. Wolfe, Colone? Robertson, the Rev. N. V, Hälward, and Mr. Cassidy was then proposed by the Bishop.
The report and accounts were unanimously, adopted.
Amalgamation with Q.M.A,
The Rev. W. W. Rogers read the following resolutions:-

Addressing the meeting, as the proposer of the resolutions, Mr. Rogers said that the proposed amalgamation was a matter of great importance to the Church. The Church Missionary Association and the Victoria Diocesan Association were both vigorous organisations and were doing great things in the Diocese. The CA. was the older association having been formed in 1890 by Bishop Hoare. It drew all its support from the Colony, and worked on the recognised methods of sermons and the distribution of literature. Funds were raised by various means, and the China Ex- hibition held last year had been first suggested by the Committee of the CHA. The Missionary aspect was particularly stressed in the work of 1.-It has had an educative value this Association.
