AN ANGLICAN MISSION.

During the recent visit of the Anglican Missioners from England, it was suggested that missions should be conducted from time to tiino on suitable occasions by tho New Zealand clergy, and it has now been decided (as announced in our advertising columns) to hold; a series of mission service's next week. These will consist of midday addresses to men and women 011 Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (April 10, 11, and 12). Those for men will tako place in St.. Peter's Church, Upper Willis Street, at 12.20 p.m. and 1.20 p.m. each day, and those for women at St. Paul's. Thorndon, at the same hours. The addresses will bo given by tho Bishop of Wellington (Dr. Wallis) and some of the city clergy, and Mission hymns will be used. Special Lenten addresses aro given every year in London and other English cities, and the Bishop of London, who may be regarded as Missioner-in-Chief of his own diocese, lias for several years past held missions in 'Lent. It has been suggested that on tho coming Good Friday afternoon a largo procession of some 200 clergy and 3000 laity, headed by tho Bishops of London and his suffragans should march from St. Martin's-in-thc-Fields to St. Paul's Cathedral. The Rev. A. 0. B. West, vicar of St. Dunstan's-in-the-East, secretary of tho Bishop's Evangelical Council, . who is making the arrangements for the procession, states that it is meant to bo a public act of intercession in which all churchmen can tako part. "Tho idea is to make a public act of faith," ho, says, "and to intercede* in unison on the great day of Atonement for England and tho Empire."
