PARISH MEETINGS.
ST. JAMES'', LOWER HUTT.
The annual meeting of the parishioners of the above parish was
held at the schoolroom, Lower Hutt, on Monday evening, the chair being taken by the Incumbent (Rev. J. Jones). The report and balance-sheet were read by Mr. Cheesman, and after several of those present had expressed their views, both were adopted as read.
The report presented by the Vestry was a very lengthy
one, and was to the effect that a considerable improvement had
taken place in the financial condition of the parish, the
balauce of liabilities over assets having been reduced by about
£65, only about £50 being required to extinguish all
liabilities, and this was expected to be accomplished during
the present year. The increased revenue was mainly derived from seat rents and offertories at St. James'' and subscriptions from
Petone. The extinction of the debt to the Diocesan Pension
Fund, amounting to £27 17s 6d, was due to the efforts of the
ladies'' sewing bee. A large sum had also been obtained by means
of entertainments. The liability now existing is mainly made up
of an overdraft arranged to meet the punctual payment of
assessment and other regular calls. The Taita Church was
found to require immediate repair, and the Vestry authorised an
effort for its being substantially repaired. Funds to enable
this being done were raised by means of a donation from the
ladies'' sewing bee, and supplemented by other sources, an old
parishioner who was now in England having sent a donation of
goods, which had realised £10. Some improvements were desired
in the Petone Churchroom, and a fund to enable those to be
carried out had been, raised by local special effort. The
rights of the parishioners in the churchyards had received
attention, and regulations for this purpose had been drawn up,
and would come into force when the Taita Cemetery was ready for
use. Tho portion of the cemetery allotted to the Church had
been placed under the control of the Vestry. Useful work had
been done by the Petone Sub-Vestry, the organisation of
collection being very efficient. A misunderstanding of a
financial nature had to some extent disturbed the harmony of
that part of the parish with the rest, and the settlement of
the matter would fall on the incoming Vestry. Regular services
had been maintained with the assistance of Messrs. K. Wilson,
W. F. Cheesman, J. C. Small. C. P. Powles, H. Gaby, and E. B.
Brown as lay readers. A long series of wet Sundays had
affected the attendance and also the offertories in the early
part of the year, the services at Christ Church on several
occasions being omitted. On acconnt of the difficulty in
providing teachers, the morning Sunday school services at St.
James'' had been discontinued. Mrs. Jones continues to
superintend the St. James'' school, while the Petone one was
supervised by Mr. Jenkins, the infants at the latter being
efficiently managed by Mrs. P. Smith. Christ Church school was
under the management of Miss A. Welch, Mrs. Rush, and Mr. A.
S. Pyke. The voluntary services of Mrs. Rush and Miss Welch as
organists at Christ Church, and Mr. Sherwin as choirmaster at
Potone, were commended to the grateful acknowledgment of the
parishioner. An engagement stipulating that as soon as
practicable the assessment should be increased to as to enable
a stipend worthy of the parish to be given to the incumbent, it
had not been possible to carry out as yet, but as a matter of
simple justice the Vestry commended the matter to the
consideration of the parishioners, the duty becoming more
urgent with the delay. The thanks of the parish were due to the
lady collectors for their services, and the attention of the
incoming Vestry was invited to the desirableness of further
developing this branch of parish work. The Vestry desired to
record their sense of the loss which the parish had sustained
by the death of Sir W. Fitzherbert, who in the earlier days had
taken an active part in parish matters, and as long as his
health had permitted had been regular in his attendance at
church ordinances.
A vote of thanks was passed to the ladies''
sewing bee for the services rendered by them during the year.
A long discussion ensued as to the necessity for further services at Petone Churchroom, and a resolution was passed that the incoming Vestry take into immediate consideration the urgent necessity of further administration in the Petone subdivision of the parish.
Mr. W. F. Cheesman was re-appointed incumbent''s church warden, and Mr. J. R. Ransom was re-elected parishioners'' churchwarden. The Vestry elected were as follows:— Messrs. W. A. Fitzherbert, A. Collett, J. Wilkins, S. C. Barraud (Lower Hutt); R. C. Kirk and E. J. Jenkins (Petone); S. Death (Taita). Auditors, Messrs. Whitton and Price.
Votes of thanks having been passed to the Sunday school teachers, lady collectors, members of the choirs, and also to the members of the Christ Church Union, the meeting terminated. At a meeting of the Vestry later on, Capt. Humfrey and Messrs. W. A. Fitzherbert and W. F. Cheesman were elected nominators.
