DR. HENRY'S MISSION.

■ 6 ' A FAREWELL MESSAGE. In a farewell message published in "Tho Outlook" Dr. J. Q. A. Henry states:'II has been an unspeakable- joy to ba associated for nearly twelve months with tho people of tho Dominion. I have found them intelligent, conscientious, and responsive in a wonderful way to tho messages of truth. Indeed, 1 have never visited any portion of the world that more completely charmed and captivated me by its scenery, population, and prosperity than New Zealand. Twenty-five cities and towns have been visited, besides score of meetings in villages, schools, and institutions. More than GSO separate services, among all classes, have been held, in which nearly one-third of the entire population of tho Dominion has been reached; nearly 10,000 people, after hav. ing beenidcalt ..with-personally, have publicly confessed Christ as Saviour and King; more than one-half of these have been over fourteen years of age,' and almost without exception have pledged themselves to Church membership; thousands of these have already cast in tlicir lot with tho people of God. A decided majority of those over fourteen have been men and boys, and in several communities the work among such has been remarkable. The 'labours of Mrs.' Henry and Miss Henry among the women and girls, both in the field of missions a'al temperance reform, have been richly honoured. I have been deeply impressed with the fidelity and the devotion of the ministers of all denominations throughout the Dominion. Many of them are facing difficult problems, and are fighting heroic battles in the interests of tho Kingdom. They deserve the sympathy and the fullest co-oncration on the part of the people to whom they minister; they are laying the foundations for tho future victories of the Church of God in this part of the world; many of them are making tremendous sacrifices iii thn interests of their people, and for the most port are in truest symoathy with evangelistic work. It has been an unspeakable joy to I>d associated with them In this time of reaping."
