ALL SAINTS’ MISSION

Interest in I Ini services of the Mission \v;is fully maintained yesterday, mid it is e'videiil Hint llmto is a growing ros|)niisi> In i lii‘ message delivered. At midday niecliug Canon Meghie briefly (raced ( lie Jn.story oi the Gentile ddniirKi lion of Palestine and the Jew from J'nr Ciine. of 1 i'lV'.ljiic'lnK.liie/'tur' to Cue present day'; and stated that' it was bvidont Unit God had set a limit to duel', supremacy, for Christ had declared '‘Jerusalem shall lie trodden down of the Gentiles until the, times of the Gentiles lie fulfilled.." The present beginnings of .Jewish occupation of I*.'destine* in terms of (lie celebrated Balfour Declaration was a. significant fact in this connection. The Eilile reading in Iho aflernnou was largely aitended, members of the Mothers' Union being largely represented. Tile missioner in (lie course ol his address upon the "Six Cities ol Refuge, had a special word for mothers and their peculiar burdens and responsibilities. The children showed the keenest inlerest in an address delivered by Mr Alan Begtiie on the ‘‘Loaves and lushes.' The singing of special choruses which are. a feature of these gatherings is becoming very popular with, the young folk. The eve dug meeting was splendidly attended and it was apparent that, the message from Hebrews 3: 7 and 8, ‘‘The Holy Glmst. said, To-day if ye will hear Hip voice, harden not. your hearts,” came home to many present with force and conviction. Many attended lrom centres outside of Nelson itself, so that, interest in these special services seems to be spreading. Meetings will he continued this week and terminate noxl Monday night.
