MISSION OF HEALING.

Mr. James Moore Hickson will hold a mission for the revival of healing in the church in Wellington city on Novembers sth to 9th. The mission will be for either three or four days : if for three days 1500 applicants will be dealt with, if four, 2000. All parishes south of Levin and south of Masterton will go to Wellington, north of that area to. Palmerston. It is important to remember that the mission is not solely a mission of healing, but a mis- ; sion to revive the practice of healing by the church. The mission is very emphatic with regard to the spiritual preparation of patients. The clergy arc! accordingly asked to instruct their people in the mission and its purposes: also to hold services of intercession, and to form prayer circles or study circles as may seem best. Patients are required to fill in application forms, which may be obtained from their Vicar. Owing to the limited number of cases whieh can be dealt with, applications for serious cases only will bo considered, but these need not necessarily be incurables, though the latter will receive preference. Applications must be dated, and will be accepted in -priority of date. When the full number for the centre has been received, the list will be closed.

With regard to non-Anglican denominations, Mr. Hieksbn receives them, and cards must be signed by their ministers, certifying that they have been duly prepared.
