We saw more ‘Drunks’ in one night than I have seen in the* L! years I have* lived in New Zealand. Strain every effort, dear friend, to kill the Liquor Traffic* in New Zealand lecforc it gets such a terrible* grip of tin* people as hero. It makes me siik and sore at he irt to sec* the* drunken women, and the poor little dirty, deformcsl, and crippled children. The* tremendous wages have menu! destruction to hundreds. aliilc* Hit Liquor Traffic is fattening on tin* degradation of the* masses. “1 have bee n wonderfully restored to health, and am able* to work as hard as ever, praise* Hod. We have hundreds at om open-air meetings, and great good is be ing done. "We leave London on No\emls*i 27th by tin Orient liner ’Orsova.’ via Sue>. and Australia. We hope to i**ach New Zealand m January, and shall nrohably make our home in Auckland “
