MR. BOOTH'S MISSION.

"THE EYES OF THE SOUL.'-'

A crowded audience assembled in the Town Hall concert chamber Inst evening, when Mr. Herbert Booth gave the second address of his mission in Auckland. The Rev. P. Knight and the Rev. Murray were n n' the platform with Iho mistioner, who *as greeted' with enthusiasm, the meeting being one of great heartiness throughout.

Mr. Booth based the theme of his address, "The Eyes of the Soul," upon the story of the miraculous healing of the two blind men. Dealing with tho relation of religion to physical healing, ho spoke of tho latter as a wonderful art which in the course of time had been practically lost bv the Christian Churches, ard had been rediscovered by others who h" 1 made it tho central point and one great factor in a religious system of their own. The mention of physical blindness, ho said, often called up ft vision of a, man bogging on the streets; blindness and beging did not always go together in this world, but in the spiritual realm they were always related, and no matter how rich or prosperous a man might be, if he suffered from blindness of soul ho was a beggar beforo Cod. Mr. Booth coucluded with an earnest exhortation to all present to pray that "tho eyes of their soul" might indeed be opened.
