PETONE UNITED MISSION.

Owing to tho half-holiday at the railway workshops yesterday the lunchhour meeting in connection' with Dr. Henry's present mission at Pctone was postponed until Friday, at 3 p.m. Dr. Henry addressed a well-attended meeting of tho Hutt W.C.T.U. at Pctone Methodist Church. His subject was the evils of drink. A.voto of thanks was tendered the speaker by tho ladies. At 7.30, -under Mr. Potts's baton, tho largo choir opened their song service. Several of Alexander's hymns were well rendered, the choir having mado considerable progress since the arrival of Sir. Potts. There was a crowded attendance again. A feature of the song service was the hearty way in which tho audience took up the singing—section being pitted against section, and men against ladies. The Rev. Mr. Thomson and Rev. Mr. Rothwell led in prayer. Mr. Potts sang "A Starless Crown" with feeling. At 8 o'clock Dr. Henry took charge. Ho selected as his text, Matthew xx, 28. Illustrations of lowly servico by Abraham Lincoln and William Ewart Gladstone, an.l others, were cited, and then 'over against these the supreme sacrifice of Jesus Christ was emphasised. At tho close of the address Mr. Potts sang a second solo. A number of professions were made afterwards.
