St. John's Anglican Church

St. John's Anglican Church, Johnsonville, was originally established about forty years ago. The present building, which is of wood and has a spire and bell, was erected some fourteen years ago to replace a building, which, like the first church, had been destroyed by fire. The church is seated for 140 persons, and a Sunday school of about seventy children assembles in the edifice.' The glebe attached to the church consists of about thirteen acres, in which a capital parsonage of ten rooms is pleasantly located. The vicar holds periodical services at Ohariu Valley, where there is a wooden building having accommodation for eighty, where also a Sunday school—of about forty children—assembles; and at Tawa Flat a small church built of wood, seating sixty persons, is utilized also for a school on Sundays, about thirty scholars attending.
