REV MR NORTH.

A Startling Address. Per Press Association. Auckland, October 15. Some interesting addresses _ were delivered to a meeting of men in the Baptist Tabernacle last night upon the attitude of the church towards presontday labour probloms. The Rev. North, of Wellington, referred to the high price of land in Wellington and the little back yards, no bigger than blankets, which workers i had to be content with. He was 1 certain as he lived that Wellington was one of the scandals ot the universe. The working men's children weto forced to play in tho streets, Which were hot beds of corruption. His own children were also- obliged to ,ilay there because Lo ?oiUU not afford a bigger rent. There was a, Keliy gang in the farm land, syndicates and land'grabbers going round Wellington, and the sooner they cua away with them the better. *»s definition of tho rights of man was that every man should get a ran whack.
