The mission service at tie Baptist Church last night -was an interesting one. The Rev. Lockhart Morton spoke very impressively. His |ext wa» Christ's lament, "Ye -will not come unto Me that ye may have life." The cause* of the misunderstanding, and of man'« unwillingness, were graphically dealt with. At the close of the service a large number of young men and young women signified their readiness for tha foreign mission crusade, 6hould they be called to engage in, it. Miss Morton, sang very nicely. There will be threa services in connection with the mission on Sunday. In the morning Mr. Mor«, ton will preach on "Fighting People." In the afternoon he will address young people at 3 o'clock. In the evening ho will speak on "Our Future Home," and Miss Morton wilj ejng. According to Britiehew,' notions oi Chinese conversation, the Celestials all talk at once, and the subject is threshed out in a way clear only to the Orienal mind. However, there was one Chinas man in a fruit market yesterday whose remarks were not interrupted by » group of brethren, who hung «pon his words. The orator was gesticulating so wildly that a reporter, who happened to be in the room, was attracted to the scene. of the soliloquy. He listened intently, and oaught imperfect pronunciations of "Seddon," "Maori," and "tangi." The orator was describing the Natives'- lament for the late Premier. A poinfl that the new arrival from the Old Country has to learn is that money in New Zealand has a different value in the countries of his birth and of his adoption (says the Lyttelton Times). A young man was charged at the Magistrate's Court yesterday for failing to provide his wife with adequate maintenance. He pleaded not guilty, and said that a fortnight ago he paid her Is lO^d. "A while after they arrived, in January, she got 6s or 7s out of me," he told the court. He said he was a warehouseman and got 24s a week at Home. "You'll get more than that here, if you only do pick and shovel work," the Magistrate told him. He wa» ordered)' to pay £1 a week towards his -wife's support, and was offered the alternative of paying £25 into court aa a security, finding suretS.es for £50, or going to gaol ' for six months. He decided to deposit the £25. In illustration of the same point, Mr. V. Q. Day, 8.M., afterwards told a reporter that a while ago a large manufacturing firm "imported" a number of work-cirls, and these were much annoyed wen they landed because they could not 6pend the farthings they had brought. There will be- many birds of worldwide reputation among the pigeons on exhibition at the Wellington Poultry Society's show next week. One fine specimen has to its credit the Grand Prix d'<Honneur, Brussels, one of the most prized awards on the Continent. Two others are first prize-winners at that greatest of all English showa^ the Crystal Palace. These and other equally fine birds shall prove quite an education to local breeders. The New Zealand Amateur Championship Boxing Tournament to be held in Wellington on 10th ana Uth August, is likely to be the most successful series of competitions yet held in New Zealand. The Secretary of the New Zealand Boxing Council {Mr. Atack) is of opinion that it may become necessary to make the tournament a three-nights' fixture, on account of the heavj -entry that is practically assured already. Canterbury >and Auckland, in addition to the Wellington Centre, are to be strongly represented, and from Poverty Bay — where Godfrey, the ex-champion featherweight of England, is now located— another big entry is likely. The Wel« lington Boxing Association has received notice that F. N. Batchelor, the Westland heavy-weight, is under temporary suspension for his actions in the ring at Ashburton, and until his case, is decided by the Canterbury Boxing Association he will be debarred from competing in any competition under the New Zealand Boxing Council's rules.
