MRS HAMPSON'S MISSION.

Last eveniogs servico at the theatre was, if anything, more crowded than those of the previous nights. Notwithstanding that 100 additional chairs had been provided, every available seat was occupied. A number of visitors were present from the country dis* tiicts, who were admitted by ticket before the service commenced. Mr Twentyman's choir led tho singing. The Bey Mr Taylor, of Addiogton, engaged in prayer. Mrs Hampson'a address was listened to with the greatest attention, and at the close of the service large numbers remained to the after meeting.

The mid-day service to-day in the Theatre Eoyal was again well attended. Mrs Hampson read several letters she had received desiring that praise might be offered for the conversion of the writers or their relatives and friends. After singing and prayer, as usual, Mrs Hampson delivered an eloquent and earnest address from Bomans zii. 1 and 2, in whioh she urged upon those who had experienced conversion to devote their mental af.d bodily powers entirely to the service of God, as " a reasonable sacrifice "in return for the blessings they had received.
