Canon'E. A. Stuart, leader of the Anglican General Mission, having consented to conduct two more mass meetings in the Town .Hall in tho evenings prior to his departure for England, it has been decided to hold these services on Wednesday and Thursday, December 7 and 8; As Canon' Ivcns has also expressed his willingness to take part, it has been arranged to have midday services for women in the Theatre Royal at 12.20 and 1.20, and' for men at Hie Town Hall at tho same hours on those days. During.the recent mission Cnnon Stuart held Bible readings at St.' 'Paul's Church, Mulgrave Street;. which proved very helpful to numbers of men and women and he has undertaken to continue these readings on the afternoons'of' December 7:aml S at 3 o'clock. As those extra'services : were-not" included in tho original mission sohomo it is thoughtdesirable to givo an opportunity to those who attend to contribute towards tho expenses. ' , ■ ;
