Bennett, who read a special message from the Maori section of the church and praised Samuel Marsden’s work among the Maoris.
Added interest was lent to the gathering by the presence of a Maori choir.
The centenary commemoration is continuing at Sydney Town Hall until Friday. It includes an exhibition of arts and crafts of various races minls- . tered to by the Church Missionary Society. Illustrated lectures and talks are held each day on mission subjects.
