MISSION.
The Bishop's School was quite full last night, when Messrs Gooch and £>rury began their week's mission to th* young people of Nelson. ' |ihe meeting began with the sing* ing of. some of the hymns which Messrs Gooch and Drury are introf ducing to Nelson. A special hymn book has been compiled by them, containing some of the bright, Cheery hymns which^are well known, and also some new chornses. The little book also contains some few fadts about the Scripture Union which the compilers, are especially representing ' ; r - , After the singing of the choruses MrDrury iritroducted himself and Mr" Gooch, giving : details .\ of their work. After player.' by the JRev, E. 0. Robison, Mr DruTy gave an address to the children-. -a ■,•-•• ■ ■'■
Each evening the meetings, will begin with a little drill with the children's swords, which each one brings to the meeting. Both the gentlemen, have a winnin g mariner with children, a fact which was fully demonstrated last evening, when the attention of about 150 children was secured, and retained for an hour and a half. There is no doubt the remaining meetings will be well attended also. * -
