A wonderful woman speaker is coming to 'New Zealand in the person of Mrs. -Mary Armor. LLJ). A New Zealander who heard her speak in MacClelland Hall in Glasgow, describes her great power over her audience. It was at a public meeting, presided over by the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church, and u-pon the same platform were several other Scottish dignitaries, consisting of reverend gentlemen, doctors of divinity, and the Lord Provost of the city. The gentlemen led the way, and the audience sat in cold silence as speaker after speaker held forth. Then came the woman, a quiet, self-possessed and cultured lady (she holds a degree in literature). She began to speak, and the audience of several thousands, said the /New. Zealander, sat up and began to listen. Then they bent forward, and. as she closed the entire place rose to its feet and applause burst forth till it volleyed and thundered again—and thib was in Scotland, the home of the critical. New Zealand women will look forward' to a rare treat in listening to such a woman speaker.
