INDIA AND ITS PEOPLE.
There was a fair attendance at the Methodist Schoolroom last night, when the Rev. J. W. Burton, a/, old Masterton boy, delivered an ii - teresting and instructive lecture cn Life in India. ' The lecture was well illustrated by excellent slides showing the grandeur of mountain scenery, the magnificence of ancient a id j modern heathen temples and tombs, ' and in striking contrast the squalor [ of some 95 per cent, of life in that great country. The lecturer in his fluent and captivating style for two hours held the attention of the audience, referring in passing to the great Indian problem of ;oday, the outstanding, events in : l;e Indian Mutiny, and numerous other topics of interest, concluding bv showing the magnificent work that is being accomplished by the self-sac-rificing missionary. At the close ol the lecture, Mr Barton was uccorded a hearty vote of thanks fr his able and instructive lecture. The lecture is to be repeated tonight, in the Kuripuni Church, and all interested in Foreign Mission work and in Indian life, in general should not miss the opportunity of hearing it.
