A Service for Women. Tho special service for women conducted by Dr. Honry at the Town Hall early yesterday afternoon, was attended by about 150(3, a very largo audience, considering how stormytho day was. In that audienco the Y'.W.C.A. and the various Bible-classes were largely reand on the platform v.'ere Kany ladies, - among them Mrs. Newman, Mrs. Wallis, Mrs. George iWldsj iJiss. M'Lean ,and 'Mrs. 51'Ciay, ana oh either side of the orchestral seats was ranged a choir of girls, members of. Mr. Potts's choir ueing also present; Before beginning ' his address, Dr. Henry spoke of tho value of tho work alone by Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations, •and of tho necessity for giving them every possible help. Ho was glad to seo that so much had been done for the Y.M.C.A., and li'o thought an elifort should bo made to> provide the Y.W.C.A. with a hostel. ■ In every other large town lie had visited the Y.W.C.A. had had; a "'hostel, and it was so. necessary for the success of the association's work that it should bo suitably housed, .that lie hoped Io find on his return to Wellington tbat already steps had been taken to provide 'a home for those who needed one. He told of the part he had taken in helping, to, start a.Y.W.C,A. hostel, where £60,000' had been raised and a liostol built for an. association-which now'has oyer 6000 members. Dr! Henry , teofc 'as his text-the .words, "She hath done what she could," and the ■ story of Mary . of ; Bethany, who anointed Christ s feet with precious spikenaTd. In many .ways, ljo said, Mary , was the ideal. woman of the New Testament, and he .told. the story _of her devotion to Christ,' as proved, in several ways. Dr. Henry's voice has.not yet recovered from the relaxing effects of a long sea voyage, and it is difficult to hear all he says, but his addresses are hill of suggestive, sentences that are worth quoting. "Tito gospel is the revelation of a "Person to persons." f'The Christian religion is first of all tho relationship betv-een the individual and a Person." ."The supreme gift of the spirit ; of God to women is spiritual insight and intuition." "God'has made-women the .custodians of moral and .spiritual truth." "It is the woman above all others'who determines a Child's character and destiny." "God in the Person .of His Son has given His best to womanhood and tho world, and Ho cx.poets it to give it's best to Him."'Dr. Henry pointed out that Mary had given the very best-to Christ in gratitude for all he had done for her, and that alio had completed the gift by an act of supreme devotibn: He urged his .hearers to : make the same sacrifice of all that they held dearest for the sake of Christ,-Who was worthy of the best. After the: conclusion of tlio address, there was a period of silent prayer, when any who. wished for the prayers of the. congregation were asked to signify, it noldiflg up their hand. Mr. Potts then'sang a solo, and afterwards Dr. Henry requested those in'the audibnco who acknowledged- Christ as their SavioUr to signify : that fact by'rising," when nearly everyone m. the audience, rose; and T>he others were repeatedly urged to do so. This is part of the procedure of each of Dr. Henry's, meetings.' During the afternoon Mr Potts 6'ang two solos.
