THE RELIEF WORKS.

At last night's service in connection with the Forward Movement the Rev. W. A. Evans replied to the strioturea passed by some of the Trustees of the Benevolent Institution upon his remark* of the previous Sunday in reference to the unemployed problem. He oalled those who were present on that occasion to witness that so far from disparaging the efforts of Messrs. Robs and Gale in regard to the present scheme of local relief works, be had, without mentioning those gentlemen by name, used very much the same expressions of praiße as tbe eritioisincr Trustees now did. What he had emphasised was tbat the Unemployed diffioulty threatened to become ohronio in this country, and that temporary sohemes of relief were not enough ; that the problem Bhould be tackled in a statesmanlike manner, and solved once for all. There Was nothing in that that should refleot upon any individual. The Relief Works scheme was one that deserved the highest sympathy of every man and woman in the community.
