MISSION SERVICES.
Judging from the crowded meetings in the Theatre yesterday, it is evident that the interest in the mission is increasing. The special service for children was a great success. The young folk evidently appreciated their meeting, and it must be cheering to the various Sunday school teachers to see tiie interest shown by their scholars in the addresses, and to behold one after another rising to confess Christ as their Saviour. The teachers have sown, and now the reaping time is present, and sowers and reapers rejoice together. Last night's service was the largest of the kind ever seen in Gisborne. The theatre was thronged in every part, and scores were unable to gain admission. Mr Edwards spoke on the Pharisee and Publican. Hundreds stayed to the after meeting, and about one hundred and thirty persons testified to blessings received during the mission. The news of Mr Klein's arrival this morning to assist his colleague is welcomed by all interested in the work, and his address on " Holiness " to-morrow afternoon is eagerly looked for. Both evangelists will conduct the service to-night at 7.45, aud further meetings in the Theatre are announced for to-morrow and Wednesday, -at 3 and 7.45. On Wednesday evening Mr Edwards will speak at Waimata, and Mr Klein in Gisborne. I
