The Rev. T. N. Griffin, Pastor of the Addington Wesleyan Church, was born in Cumberland, England. After a term of residence in Didsbury College, he came to New Zealand in 1882. His work has been chiefly in wide country circuits, such as Coromandel, Paparoa, Sandon, and Feilding, and Hawera, though he has also ministered at the Hutt, Gisborne, Port Chalmers, and Rangiora. The churches at Paparoa Pomestead, Kaponga, Opunake, Cardiff, and Waikuku were erected during his ministry. In 1900, after eighteen years' of steady ministerial work, Mr. Griffin spent a short, well-earned holiday in England.
