ANGLICAN CHURCH.

The mission for which preparations have been going on for some time, commenced on Saturday night, when the conductor, the Rev. A. H. Colvile, Diocesan Missioner, was publicly received by the Vicar, the Rev. E. S. Wayne, and the care of the parish for the time handed over to him. The services on Sunday were the usual Morning Prayer at 11 and Evensong at 7, the missioner preaching at both, his subject being "Come, for all things are now ready," and in the evening "What would Christ think of me," and in a very eloquent address dealt with the personal side of religion reminding his hearers that it was not so important what we thought of Christ as what Christ thought of us. On Sunday afternoon the Missioner addressed a good number of men only. Every night during the week the special mission service and address will be at 8 o'clock. The service is a very simple one—a few prayers and hymns, followed by the address and a short after-meeting. A striking feature is the offering of special petitions sent in by any of those attending the services, a box being provided in the church for the reception of such requests for prayer. On Monday night the "Return of the Prodigal Son" was taken as the subject, and an earnest and eloquent address rivetted the attention of the congregation.
