MESSAGE FROM HIS MAJESTY THE KING. (By MeßTauh.—Frew AMOolatJon.) Chrlstchuroh, January 15. In oijening the flower show to-night, Lord Liverpool said he saw that the St. John Ambulance Association had a stall, the proceeds from which were to go towards Red Cross purposes at the front, and- in connection with this ho would like to read- a letter from His Majesty the King and H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, which showed that they and the people of England appreciated all the efforts which were being made by the colonies during the crisis. His Majesty tho King stated that he was much struck with the splendid way the people of New Zealand had come forward with men, money, and kind, for he realised that the expense must bo a great drain on tho resources of the country. It was noble of New Zealand people not only to send their own troops, but also to contribute so generously to tho needs of the distressed and the various relief funds at Home had benefited greatly by their efforts. "I appreciate it highly, and so do the people of the Old Country," concluded His Majesty. _ The Prince of Wales's letter was in similar strain, and Lord Liverpool said that ho was glad to bo able to read these messages, which showed that our efforts were appreciated. (Applause.)
