Shung Kei Bible Training School 1947 - Had responsibility for overall planning and directing, lecturing in Old and New Testaments and Chinese Church history, and sharing in practical training.
Her duties included speaking and preaching in many Churches and villages, Committee responsibilities both in the local Church and in many spheres of the Church's activities, especially of its Women's work.
After all foreign Missionaries were asked to leave China in 1951, Frances was appointed as a Missionary teacher at the Chinese School in Suva, Fiji.
Experience there led her and the Overseas Missions Committee to believe that there was not a continuing responsibility for our Church in that area and the work ceased at the end of 1953.
At the request of the Sixth District Association in Hong Kong, she was appointed to relieve Rev EG Jansen at the Hoh Fuk Tong Training Centre at Castle Peak during his furlough in 1953.

"Frances was educated in Australia and moved to NZ with parents in 1914; she completed her university studies at Canterbury University with BA in English. Taught at Craighead Girls School, Timaru. She offered in 1920 for service as Missionaryn China. Following training at PWTI she sailed for China, arriving at Kong Chuen in Sept 1920 and became Principal of Tak Kei Boarding School for Girls. Within a few years she had persuaded the authorities that it was ridiculous for a foreigner to occupy such a position when there were Chinese capable of the task. From then on Miss SK Wong was Principal. This was a view well ahead of its time. Frances then spent the next decade or so in village evangelism and deaconess work.
In 1938 the Kwangtung Synod appointed Frances Principal of Shung Kei Bible Training Institute, training Deaconesses for the whole Synod area. Shortly afterwards the Japanese occupation drove them from Paak Hok Tung in Canton, to become refugees in Hong Kong. In 1941 Frances was interned with other 'enemy aliens' in Stanley Bay Internment Camp, where her gifts as teacher, preacher, counsellor & friend were highly valued.
With peace in 1945, Frances returned to Canton where she was responsible for rebuilding work of training Deaconesses at Shung Kei Bible Training Institute. By Oct 1949 the Communist regime was in control of mainland China and by 1951 was ready to challenge the Christian Church to get rid of foreign support in money and personnel. In order not to embarrass her Chinese friends, Frances left China.
Arrived Hong Kong 23 Mar 1951 and travelling via Australia, returned to NZ, Aug 1951.
So great was her commitment to mission service that she took up work in Suva, teaching for two years in a Chinese School there. Appointed as from Jan 1952. Assistance to the Chinese School in Suva discontinued Dec 1953.
By 1953 the Hong Kong district of the Christian Church in China had regrouped and wanted to get women's training re-established. Frances returned to New Territories and continued training women, as leaders for Chinese Church. She was truly gifted as Teacher and Preacher and fluent in Chinese language, reading and writing, as well as speaking it.
In 1960, after 40 years of service in China, Frances retired and returned to NZ, living in Wellington.
When the APW was inaugurated, her clear vision, cheerful enthusiasm and complete commitment to Jesus Christ enabled her to allay the fears of women throughout the Church that overseas missions would be forgotten. She also spent some time as relieving Principal of the Deaconess College, Dunedin.
"Own Missionary" of Knox Church, Christchurch.

61 BAR ROLL NO: 538
It is with deep regret that the Bar Council informs members of the death yesterday, 19 November 2017, of The Honourable John Daryl Davies QC - always known as Daryl. Daryl was 88 (born 21 December 1928).
Daryl Davies began his schooling at Swan Hill Primary, then Brighton Grammar, then Melbourne Grammar. He graduated from the University of Melbourne with an Honours Law Degree. He served Articles and worked as a Solicitor in his father's firm, E. Edgar Davies & Co in Bank Place. He was admitted to practice in August 1952 and signed the Roll in February 1956. He read with Keith Aickin (later The Honourable Sir Keith Aickin of the High Court). In his first 7 years at the Bar, Daryl was an outstandingly successful plaintiff's counsel in County Court jury trials. He then served 7 years on the Taxation Board of Review, before returning to the Bar for 7 years. He had one Reader and took Silk in December 1972.
In 1976, Daryl was appointed to conduct an Inquiry into the liquor industry in Victoria. He reported in April 1978. In May 1978, he was appointed to the Federal Court and the ACT Supreme Court, and was made the first Deputy President of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. Sir Gerard Brennan singled him out for particular appreciation as first Deputy President. He succeeded Justice Brennan and served 8 years as President. Daryl served more than 20 years on the Federal Court. Following statutory retirement, he served a further 5 years on the ACT Supreme Court, the NSW Supreme Court and Court of Appeal, and the Fiji Court of Appeal.
Daryl's service to the Bar was outstanding. He was a member of the Bar Council and its Executive Committee; and he chaired the Applications Review Committee, the Reading & Lectures Committee, the Causes Practice Committee, the Special Committee on Supreme Court Delays and the Special Accommodation Committee - all in difficult years when Bar accommodation was in crisis, the Bar was under threat and successfully resisted a Government proposal for Acting Judges.
He returned to practice at the Bar in January 2004 and finally retired on 30 June 2010. His son Greg and daughter Jennifer are members of our Bar: Greg a Silk; Jennifer a Federal Court Judge. His other son, Paul, is a Chartered Accountant and other daughter Celia is a Partner at Herbert Smith Freehills.
There will be a Celebration of Daryl's Life at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club at 5 pm
on Thursday 30 November 2017.
