LECTURE ON AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINALS

Mrs. James McWhirter will give a ou her into the interior of, Australia, in the Horticultural Hall, Laing's Hoad, Lower Hutt, tonight, beginning at 7.30 o’clock. This talk will be illustrated with a collection of coloured lantern slides —pictures of the aboriginals of Australia in their natural environment where, she says, “we (she and her husband) found them human-beings like ourselves, saw their tears and laughter, and entered into some realization of their hardships.” The Rev. Janies McWhirter resigned from his church in Kensington Park Road, London, to take up Evangelical work, and that work has taken him all over the British Isles, the Continent, and Palestine. He has already written a book on his Palestine travels, “Britain and Palestine in Prophecy,” a book sponsored by Methuen and Co., and which is considered a valuable commentary on the Jew-Arab controversy. Mr. and Mrs. McWhirter lecture under the auspices of the Commonwealth Covenant Assemblies. Evangelical services will be conducted by Mr. and Mrs. McWhirter in the Horticultural Hall, Lower Hutt, tomorrow’ at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.
