MR. MASSEY IN THE PULPIT.
The eloquence and Imperial speech of Mr Massey appear to have bad remarkable effects upon a meeting which be addressed, by invitation, in the largest Congregational Church at Montreal, on “Lessons of the War." Reporting the address, one of the papers of the city says, according to a private (aide received in Wellington: “So strong was the message of confident optimism by the Prime Minister of New Zealand that all traditions of Sunday church etiquet were east to the winds, and the speech was repeatedly greeted with applause, while, when he closed with a vehement message of confidence that the war was now so promising that there was no justilication for any conclusion but an absolute victory and a clearing of the international hoard so thoroughly that no German kultur could ever again curse the peace of the world, the congregation broke into prolonged applause, which, would probably have developed into cheers. This was prevented by the organist playing the National Anthem, which was sung with emphatic fervour. ’ This speech must have been made on Mr Massey’s return trip to New Zealand.
