Somo friends havo urged tho continuance of thorn' till■ tho full terms of peace have bjjen nn'unged. Thojibject, however, for which we felt-impelled to commence these gatherings has been served. It was laid upun our hearts that there ought to be a public meeting at least .once a.'woek, unconnected with any particular- Church,- to assert tho absolute lieoil of nntifinal recognition of our utter dependence upon the Diyino Blessing and help to enable Britain and her_,iL. lies to win tho war. AV'e regrot exceedingly that there has.been such apparent reluctance both in 'England and in New Zealand to-acknowledge that to God and to Him alone- must wo look to bring about tho issues of. victory and peace. AVo thank those friends whoso regular attendauco.iit;l-lie,.m<!oUngs line enabled us to continue- these three years and more.' If nil''the 'Christians of Welling-ton-had rallied, to-our--help we would have been abie. to ljavo exerted a far wider. influence." These are momentous tinie* when,-if ever, ■'■intercessioii is of supreme necessity, 'Strange ami perplexing events come crowding into our lives, events of darkening and desolal- . ing significance. Many of our cherished plans are overturned, some of tho idols of our hearts'aro smashed, and every- • thing ■depends- on' the way in which wo receive-.such happenings. We can take them with a sullen indifference, with u rebellions antagonism; , or with a fret.fnl weakness; most poople. fall somewhere near on one of these three attitudes. ' But' there is ,, one way for tho istrong and hopeful .Christian. It is to See 'in' eaeh 'oVelifof life ' tho perfect, good and acceptable will of God and lo take the events 'of life as the- Father's plan for His child. -And what is IJie testimony of those who havo thus dared? Is, it not this, that each event is justified nt'the lest;-Unit what seemed hard and ii'nnecessjir.r;is; leading to the goal of the loving '■ nnd satisfied heart? "In His will ie our pence."';We have no doubt that .many households in Welling-ton-have been preserved (hiring the present epidemic, where the heads, like the Israelites of old, have presented the sprinkled Blood'of Christ as the surest antidote - against ..pestilence and death. If only in every homo in ourcity Christ was owned as Lord and Saviour, tho Bible rend morning- and evening--with, family worship, iiiid'the fathers and mothers ruled their households having their children in proper subjection n"(lcontrol; if the Word of- God was read dfiity , ! in all our public schools and the Sunday observed entirely for the worship anil service of -God, Wellington would be one of the. most happy ami. contented cities to be found anywhere' Somo of the poorest homes, and those most lacking in comfort that we know of in oui> city, are those where-those unhappy conditions are certainly not the.result of inadequate wages .received,- but of pin and vice. On the othei , hand, wo know of homes where comfort, contentment, and sufficiency aro to be found though the. wage-earnei' ecemeCpooi'ly. compensated for his labour, but the heads of.'these' homes being Godly poopht the blessing of Almighty God rests upon them.
