It is not one ailment, but a series of them I have had to contend with. First, I was seiztd with my old trouble in my eyes. In consequence I ha.il to leave the Blue Mountains

With skilful treatment I recovered rapidly. But immediately afterwards a serious complication laid me down. From this too I was recovering, when in stepped another and most deadly foe—lnfluenza .... Still I am glad to say there w*s One who with kind and strong hand held the lines of life, kept me from yet crossing the "Bar," and has been leading me up the stream of life with «uch fresh impulse of life and vigor, that I feel as if He were about again to extend my days for a little longer." When the news was made public at 1.30 p.m. to-day, that Ladysmith had been relieved, the school, fire, and also the church bells were soon set ringing, flags were hoisted on the principal buildings, and in a few minutes a large number of people had ccmgregated in the streets. The band marched round the square several times playing patiiutic airs ; the utmost unthusiasm was shown by all and the general feelings found vent in outbursts of cheering. A number of schoolboys carrying the colours marched round the streets singing " Soldiers of the Queen " and, Mr G. Searle taking up a collection on their behalf, they were regaled with lollies etc. Wesleyan Church services will be held in the following places ou Sunday next:— Queenstown 11, Lower Shotover 3, Arrowtown 7.—Rev.
