ANGLICAN MISSION.
ROUND THE STATUE. At the Queen's Statue to-day Mr. Joe Harris, an erstwhile miner, who is attached to the Anglican Mission, addressed a large gathering of workers. Dealing with the relation of labour to capital, Mr. Harris said that the man who lived on the work of others was not fulfilling his duty a* a Christian. Labour was not meant for one only, but should be the lot of all classes. Religion was not meant for the church alone, it should be carried out in business dealings, and should "follow men into the workshop." "There is," remarked the speaker, "too much preaching and not enough practice in this world. Conversion is not talking, it is doing. A man makes a ruin of his life, wastes his opportunities and then blames God. It is we, ourselves, who have mismanaged it." The method of address employed by Mr. Harris appealed to his listener*, who accorded him an excellent hearing.
