DR. HENRY'S MISSION.
.A fairly la'Tgb audience -was present at the Town H-jll last evening, when Dr. Henry, from America, delivered another powerful evangelistic address, which made a strong appeal for higher, purer Christian life. ' During .the evening, Mr. Potts sang several solos, and led a choir of about 300 voices in a number of mission hymns'selected from tho TorrevAlexander hymn-book. At tho termination of his address, Dr. Henry offered up prayer, in" the course of which he urged those, who had been moved to dedicate, or rededicate their lives to Christ to hold up their right arm—an appeal that was responded to in about half-a-dozen, cases. The service was brought to a close by the singing of thepopular "Glory" song, led by' Mr. Potts. Dr ; Henry will speak again at lunch time today at the Queen's Statue, and again this evening at the Town Hall. '
Tho. Rev, Dr. Henry, who was supported by Mr. H. N. Holmes, general secretary , of. the Y.M.C.A., and several local ministers, addressed a , gathering from the Queen's Statue yesterday at midday. Dr.' Henry quoted tho' statement of a working-man that the arguments •or rationalism were "not • much good when a dead baby in tho house,'and /urged-that it was only a question of time before there must be p. dead bady, husband, wife, or sister, or other loved one in tho home, and thbn no system of negation or.unbelief could offer the comfort and the hope that were afforded by Christianity. Mr. Potts sang a solo, and led several hymns. The service was attentively and quietly followed. .■■ . . . . ■ ,
