HUMOURS OF STREET PREACHING
FIGHTING THE GRAMOPHONE. > Mr. P. J. Hawkins, now attending tho Primitive Methodist Conference sitting, in ■Wellington, is a layman who has done in his time a great deal of evangelical work in tho open air. Thirty years' service is the record standing to his credit, and-lie glories openly and honestly in the fact. Also he confesses frankly that at times tho street preacher encounters his own peculiar tribulations. Once, in Auckland, he relates, his adopted street corner was invaded by a gramaphone "sixteen times more powerful than a man's voice." "1 tried to talk against it 0110 night, but, bless you," said Mr. Hawkins,,feelingly, "yon can't talk against machinery."
