ANGLICAN mission to new

A FORERUNNER IN LEVIN

There was a fair attendance last night at St. Mary's, Levin, when the Rev. H. A. Kennedy gave an outline of the approaching Church of England mission throughout New Zealand. In his opening remarks lie referred to the coming of the sixteen missioners from England, and told how lie had been asked point-blank why they were chosen from England. ' "It is not," said the missioner, " because we think we are any better than others, but solely owing to the fact that in England there are those who have made a practice of conducting missions and of studying their 'methods." He urged all those interested in the welfare, moral and spiritual, of their fellow men, to make a united effort to prepare for the coming mission, which would commence about the beginning of October.
