BLIND MISSIONER. MR. JOHNSTON’S MEETINGS. Mr. Andrew Johnston’s evangelical mission was commenced on Sunday at Otakeho and Manaia where there were splendid attendances. Mir. Johnston’s Manaia address was on the text, “Where Art Thou” (Gen. 3.9). The congregation would long remember it, a message of inspiration and appeal for young and old. Though Mr. Johnston has lost his natural eyesight he has insight into things spiritual and eternal. The mission will be continued at the Oddfellows’ hall, Manaia, to-night, when the subject will be “The Man Bom Blind.” Mr. Johnston will give some vivid stories of his life while a soldier in France.
