and Treasurer was proceeded with. The Chaplain, the Rev. G. R. Lindsay, presided over what was practically a full at- tendance, he being supported by the following members of the Vestry Sir Paul Chater, C.M.G., Messrs. R. Packham, J. J. Robson, W. Whitely, B. G.

1 willingly accede to the Trea- surer's request to write a brief Preface to the Annual Church Re- port, or rather, Financial statement as of course, important as the Statemeht is, it of necessity deals with but one side of our Church life. Little comment is needed: special expenses, inevitable during an inter regnum, and the coming and going of men, have been heavy," bu: despite thesis the result favourable one and for this we are glad. New Pew holders will be welcomed, cot only because they will add stability to finance but the worshipper has then a definite line with the Church.

This is bad for the Church. and not good for the people. If St. Andrews' is to progress we must realize our corporite responsibility There may be movement but there cannot be progress unless every friend of the Church gives his share of support-and that in two was, viz., by attendance at the Church Services and by systematic gifts to the offertories.
