THE ANGLICAN MISSION

YESTERDAY'S SERVICES. 'At the 7 a.m. celebration of Holy Communion yesterday, Canon Tupperfcirey was the celebrant. There is a Steady increase in the number of com■sntmicants at these services, tbjre being over 100 at the service yesterday. Tie intercession service at 11 a.m. was ."well attended also. The service for women, conducted by Canon Tupper-Carey. was not so well attended as mi Tuesday, owing no doubt to the high and hot wind which prevailed. The preacher at tiio children's service at t.15 was the Rev. S. T. Adams, and this service was attended by many little ones. In the evening Canon Tupper-Carey preached to another rery large congregation, continuing his sermons ou the parable of the Prodigal Son. After the service a large number stayed for the prayor meeting, where many requests for intercession were made; for friends and relatives victims of sin. for many sick people, and for people desiring help in their struggles snd difficulties. The open-air service, conducted by Mr Harris, was held in front of Mr Allan's studio in George street, where the light from the vestibule enabled the singers to read their hymn-books. lA. large number of listeners attended, and Mr Harris's earnest appeal was listened to with great attention. . NOTES. Canon Tupper-Carey emphasises the Steed for prayer in mission work. Both at the morning and evening services he laid stress on the fact that sermons are of no avail without the power of prayer. Forms of requests for intercession are new placed in St. Mary's, also helps to self-examhiation, and " resolution fcards." Penny pamphlets on prayer and on the Bible have been obtained. end will be placed in St. Mary's for 4hose who desire them. The Marine Band, on passing the joperi-air mission service last night, Bnowed their courtesy by marching past in silence. Another open-air service has been announced for 7 p.m. to-night. NOTES. It is stated on reliable authority that(Canon Tupper-Carey is well off so far as this world's goods are concerned, and that if he lie could be one ©f the idle rich. But he chooses rather to spend his talents nr.;l his muney tor the benefit of his fellows. As Canon of York he receives £IOOO a year, but does not keep one penny of "it. He Eves on his private income, and gives ill he earns to needy people or deserving causes.
