ANGLICAN MISSION.

WEEK—END SERVICES. A large crowd gathered at the corner of Stafford street near Hay's buildings on Saturday evening, when the Anglican missioners held a successful open-air meeting. Mr Harris gave a splendid address, .the keynote being " Sincerity." He said that it was often hard for a Christian to act up to his professions in the face of opposition, but it was absolutely necessary. So many people were turned away from believing—-not in Christ, but in religion—by the inconsistent lives of professing ChrMJans, that those who were Christian,* must realise their duty—tUoy tcuut not bt Sunday Christians orUTj but all-the-week Christiana, ghaiviiij; their faith by their actions towards their fellowiiien. Mi Hal-rut was followed by the Rev. S. Trerico Adams, who, very appropriately, referred to the excellent work- done by Mr Harris in Tiniaru, and though regretting that he had to leave to-day ior Lyttelton, wished him s-.uocesß in his mission in that town. In iho church at night the mission S"iV"(;o was also very well attended Canon Tupper-Carey preached on the Holy Communion. giving a striking instructional address, in which he urged the congregation to regard the Sacrament not as a mere form, or something outside the gospel, but as an act of inestimable value to the spiritual life.

U'sterday 2m coniimiiiicants attended the celebrations. In the morning at II o'clock the Rev. Canon I upper-Carey conducted the service, assisted by the and gave an extremelx interesting sermon on missionary ellort. and tlie urgent call ol the Church to-dav.
