We need hardly remind our readers of the intensely interesting public meeting, to be held to-night in the Wesleyan Church, in connection with the commemoration of the century. The chief speaker will be the popular and eloquent secretary of the movement, the Rev C. H. Garland, of Christchurch, who Sunday morning preached an eloquent and powerful sermon to a large and deeply interested congregation. The closing century is nuparalled in the world’s history for intensity of interest, and unexampled progress while the approaching dawn of a new century is a subject full of fascination. In the hands of an accomplished speaker, like Mr Garland, the attraction of the subject and the occasion will be greatly enhanced. The chair will be taken at 7.30 p m. by Mr H Lawn, and during the evening Miss Dazeley, of Tasmania, will contribute a snored solo. A collection will be taken up on behalf of the century fund. On Wednesday evening a similar gathering will be held in tlio Tp Aroha West schoolhouse.
