THE REV. G. C. GRUBB'S MISSION.

Our fellow citizens have now an opportunity of attending Churoh of England mission services as condnoted with marked au/jcess in the Old Country during the past quarter pf a century or so; and it may oome as a qpgxipe to those of us who for lack of WmMoni&yp beendispoied to regard the Estaplished.Ghurch of onrforefathers M essentially <wna,ervaUve in ,teaching and formal io all'lta worship to learn services are very much lifce the evangelistic services of other bodies. Mf)*t distinctly tbey are ndt doll, if to-day's prwwadjngs may be taken as a sample; and, though undertaken especially fdr the benefit of Church of England members and adherents, they are non-vexatious in respect to suoh pwinJs of dootrine as are made the subject of dispate, and oan be heartily joined in by all who pro/ess and call themselves Ch*js.tians and as such takjj an interest in things thai arn unseen and eternal. The first service to-day was" Sprayer meeting, from 7 30 to 8 a.m., which was attended by between fifty and sixty persons. AjTchree o'olook this afternoon a large number of persons, many from sister denominations, •(tended what is termed " a Bible exposition." The rev. missionary was unsupported on tbe platform, save for one of his party who dneidntyasorganiit.

These were the leading features of a very interesting servioe, and one whloh will no donbt be well attended. The Rev.

Mr Millard took a children's servioe later in the afternoon, and a general mission servioe is to be oonduoted at 7.30 this evening. In addition to these announcements on the printed programme, whioh apply to Friday, Saturday, and Monday, there are to be two meetings for men in the middle of the day—one from 12 30 to 1 o'clock, and the other from 1 o'olook to 1.30. It may be supposed that the popular character of this mission will have the desired effect of inducing many to visit the Garrison Hall daring the continuance of the services.
