MR MATTHEW BURNETT.

'f Hn leoturos. of this great Temperance Missionary, judging.from the.numbors who attend at the Theatre oversight, increase in favor as the time draws hjjjk for the completion of the.senes.LaJi night's meeting, by. the speciaLrequesk, of • Mr Burnett, m% presided over by Mr H. A. Stratford, R.M." The importance of having a good chairman is not lost sight of by Mr Burnett, and he fully acknowledge! , the assistance they are to him in his. vork. The lecturer, no matter what, tho import-' .luce uf the subject about, to .be delivered by him, nor the impatience of the audience, always very fully and freely accords thorn a full Measure of praise. Nor does he neglect anyone who is in airy way instrumental to him. The press came i« ■ for a full share of compliments last nighi in addition > his more immediate mbportersand the choir.' The Chimin was very happy in his remarks, ing secured tho fixed attention of the audienco by some. humorous' tale, ; n» would promptly seize that opportunity to follow up with some good sage adviee bearing upon the object of the meeting. The lecture itself was listened to with rapt attention, and is considered to be the best delivered by him in Masterfcoa, during his mission. To publish what he V said would not in any way convey j«4 our roaders the faintest idea of what. tlrS lecture was. Word painting eoul* not disclose the pathos, vivacity .or force of' his remarks, and those who want to know what his capabilities are can only find ops by attending one of his lectures, His last one in Masterton will be given this evening at the Theatre.
