• *"' ' ' -, '■.■■■- Christchurch Central Migsion.— The Mission held its ter vices in the Oddfellows' Hall yesterday. In the morning Pastor Birch delivered a touching communion address, and in the evening preached on " Our Father." He said that I what was needed was a religion to save people from bad tempers, bitter feelings and unselfish motives. Christ revealed that kind of religion as possible to every man. He came into the world to Eave sinners from giving way to sin, from being sinfully inclined, and to enable a man to do as he would be done by. Unless he experienced those conditions the professing Christian was not only a hindrance to the evangelism of the world, but an object lesson -which, in his case, showed that Christianity was a failure. It would be better for the world if such sham | Christians had the moral courage to say, I" I believe in Cbrisfc, hut I am not a [ Christian." On the other hand, the pure, [ sweet home and business life of the true Christian was aa unanswerable argument that the religion cf Jesus was divine, and therefore could be possessed by every reverent and obedient human soul. « Prof. Bickerton's analysis o Jameson, Anderson nnd Co.'s Teas states:— "So that iv all respects the samples suhmitted appear to he well prepared, genuine teas of excellent- aualitr." - X9S9 To^Cure Skin Diseases.— Suipholine Lotion drives away all Emotions, Pimples, Blotches, redness, and disfigarenftuts, leaving a clear, spotless ' skin.
