THE ANGLICAN MISSION.
In view of the undoubted success which .attended the Anglican Mission held in Masterton, and other centres of New Zealand, some months back, the following extract from the report of the Auckland Laymen's League will be read with astonishment:—"A large proportion of the missioners were of a pronounced type of Ritualists, though there were some imen distinctly sound in the faith and practices of our Reformed Church. Much has been said and written in England and in this country .regarding the wonderful success of the mission. Indeed, the terms indulged in by some of the missionens themselves as to what they have accomplished and the light they had spread amongst us partakes so much of the character of fiction as to be amusing, but by no means edifying. During the progress of the mission the league refrained almost altogether from indulging in any criticism of its proceedings, though there was much in some of them which gave pain and sorrow to many true and devout members of our Church."
