A Treat fob the Juveniles. — Tomorrow afternoon a special performance will be given at the Theatre Ttoyal by the ■Lynch Family BeUringers, for schools and families. The prices of admission have been reduced for the occasion. A special programme has been prepared, and as the building will be lighted with gas, the matinee will be similar to an evening performance. The matinees given by the BeUringers at Wellington and Auckland proved a great success, and there is no doubt the rising generation will be present in large numbers to-morrow.

Mission Services at PbbbyEoad — The attendance at 'ihese services has steadily increased and tihe interest deepened, until last night the church was comfortably filled with a raiost attentive audience. There is an entire abeence of excitement, and sensationalism. The addresses are plain and earnest utterances of truth, and the effect is manifest by the number who remain for a quiet explanation at the close to have difficulties removed. It is deeply interesting to witness the large gatherings night after mght entering with suoh manifest heartinews into the proceedings. The services at Ferry road make it clear that much good may be done without having recourse to any sensational methods of evangelisation, which are sometimes so objectionable to intelligent people.
