THE DR. HENRY MISSION.

The R-ev. R. >S. Gray, chairman of the Dr. Henry Mission, has received a letter, dated' May 23rd, from the secretary of the Auckland committee stating that the mission had exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine among them. Their greatest difficulty and anxiety had been in regard to seating accommodation; every evening meeting had overflowed. The business meetings, which were held for the first week in the Chamber- of Commerce, were transferred durin? the second week to the Opera House, where they had a daily attendance of about 800* men and 300 women. The "Quiet Hour" and Bible readings were attended by between .00 and 800 daily. On .Sunday tho crowds wero enormous. On Sunday the Women's Meeting was attended by 1400, and the Men's Meeting filled His Majesty's Theatre, which holds 1800. The-after-church meeting filled both the Opera House and tho Theatre. On Friday night the Theatre was crowded in every part, and there was an attendance of 1000 at the open-air meeting. Dr. Henry's addresses to business men were exceedingly fine, and had produced a great impression on tho business men of the town. , Indeed, all his addresses were very good. Mr Potts was a most attractive and effeeti\;; singer, and was very popular. Mrs Potts was a splendid accompanist.
