Ellis, and the Hokitika Congress Contingent. By the Congress Contingent is meant those officers of the Salvation Armv in Hokitika and Knmara who have been appointed to represent said towns at the great Salvation Army Colonial Congress, or Council Demonstration, which is to be held in Christchurch, commencing on Saturday evening, the 4th proximo, and continued for four days. From last Saturday's Christchurch " War Cry," we extract the following local items:— KUMARA.—THE FLYING BRIGADE. T am glad Salvation is Free, and we mean to tell everybody about it. On Monday we opened fire on Dillman's Hall ; overcrowded ; street crowded. Good order, and deep conviction. Tuesday and Wednesday, severe battles at Kumara; ten prisoners; glory! Thursday, ten of us went to Greenstone, under invitation from frieud King, a publican, who kindly lent us one of his rooms free. Good meetiug, but no souls. God bless the publicans! Eight mote souls out last night, and closed a week of blessing. Twenty-six old and young, siuce last report, declared for Jesus. Capt. Pattrick. HOKITIKA. Marching on. Last night, two souls, and a Wesleyan local preacher at the penitent-form, seeking power for service. Hallelujah! Capt. J. ASTON.
