'J he subject of the Rev J. Laws diecourse in Wesleyan Church on to-morrow evening wilj he Life Insurance. The subject is n most interesting one, and no doubt a large number will be present. We regret to say that Messrs Firth, Green way, and Co., of Waimkau flaxmill, have decided to discontinue operations at their mill, owing to the reduced price obtainable for the fibre. Tt is reported Mr 11. 11. Adams has made arrangements with the firm to take over their contrails for the supply of raw material. Desiring to lay before our readers a full report of Mr W, 9, Allen’s speech ut Te Arolm, we are compelled to hold over a great deal of matter until our next issue. The Presbyterian and Wesleyan services to be held in this district to-morrow, will be found advertised in our columns as usual.

Rev J. B. Mnnro, of St, Lukes, Remuera. will conduct the Presbyterian service atTe Arolm in the Public Hull to-morrow evening. Rev Mr Mnnro is well and widely known as an able preacher and faithful pastor, and also takes a deep and practical inte v est in social reform. We are sure many will hike this opportunity (if healing him. At the close of the service the sacrament of the Lord’s supper will be administered.

The almost continuous rain during last week and the early part of this week, caused a gradual rise in the Wuiho.it river, wl. o’i on Thursday last was higher than it has been for nearly twelve months. Much of the low lying land along its tanks Was flooded, but we have not heard of any damage being dono. On our fifth page to-day we publish an interesting article on Sir George Grey. On our fourth page will be found interesting reports of the recent meetings held in Auckland by Mr Henry Varley, the English evangelist, whose addresses have been attracting such ’urge audiences, and such a large share of public attention generally. Mr W, S. Allen, of Annandale, Pinko, must have been highly gratified at the large number of electors who, despite the very unfavourable weather, assembled in the Te Arolia Public Hall on Tuesday evening; and at the hearty reception and ntt ntive hearing accorded him on the occasion, His address wus practical and straightforward throughout, welldelivered, and generally appears to have been very favourably spoken of by those who were present. A full report of the address will be found in this issue.

q he meeting of those interested in form\A <y a football club, which wa*to have been lull at. Te Arolm oil Wednesday evening last, did not take place owing to some misunderstanding with regard to the hour,and place of meeting. We behfcvo anot.ier meeting will shortly be called, and hope there will be a large attendance. It is to be regretted Unit so many Waiorongoma players were needlessly put to the inconvenience of coming to Te Arolia to be piesent at last Wednesday's meeting, und it is hoped they will accept the assurance ttu,t no slight to them was intended by the players resident in this township.
