Tho speakers were tho Revs. A. B. Todd, E. Drake, and J. Reed Glassoiu The following resolution was proposed by the Rov. Reed Glasson, and was carried:—"That this meeting of Christians in tho City of Wellington expresses its profound and righteous indignation at tho action of Germany s in deporting innocent women ! and children from Northern Franco' and Belgium; and it further expresses its horror at tho barbaric methods by whicli, and the purposes for which, the deportations have been carried out by a nation professing to be Christian — methods which are repugnant to the whole civilised world."
