AN AMERICAN ON WELLINGTON.
AN IMMORAL CITY. [by telegraph.--press association.] Wellington, Monday. A visitor from America, in the course of a sermon preached in the Wesley - Church on foreign missions, reflected seriously on the immorality existing in Wellington, and in this respect made a veiled reference to an employee in the Government service. He declared that there was no necessity to send missionaries to New York, considering the work left untouched locally in a young and small country such as this. If the public conscience demanded it, they could uproot every vestige of crime. The preacher concluded by stating that it was not only wrong, but absolutely immoral, for visitors to New Zealand, upon leaving this State, to bestow indiscriminate praise upon it.
