WE REV. L. M. ISITT.

From a letter received by friends in Christchurch from the Rev. L. M. Isitt, who is now in England, wo

(Christchurch Press) gather that the champion of prohibition did not feel at all flattered by his reception at the English Wesleyan Conference. He went- down to Plymouth, where the conference was sitting, in the company of a notable trio—the lievs. Mark Guy Pearse, Hugh Price Hughes, and Bennett, the Wesleyan temperance secretary—and appears to have enjoyed himself en mute with the " feast of reason aud How of soul" that must have taken place. He goes on to say, however, that " the run down was not a foretaste of butter things. Knowing few, and known by fewer, the threo days' isolation in the midst of a Methodist crowd more than satislicct me; and as the speaking 1 was privileged to listen to was on a singularlv ordinary level, 1 left, to gain from the scenery of the neighbourhood the inspiration that the hills and vales uf lovely Devon cannot fail to give." On a Saturday night, and far into the Sunday morning, the eye of the reformer was upon the hundreds of young people of both sexes who passed beneath his hotel window in Bristol, and he wondered " if there was any city outside Christian England that could present the drunken Saturnalia that is to be seen in Bristol, Birmingham, and nmuy other towns in the most religious country in the world." The Bible j Christian Conference and the annual conference of the Rcchnbite Order seemed to have revived the spirits of the New Zealander. Of the former gathering be says: "The ' chilled meat process' that I had [gone through at Plymouth bad not awakened any intense desire in my ioul to attend ecclesiastical gatherings, However, I aiu glad that I did go. A more brotherly, cordial, and sympathetic set of laymen and parsons it has never been my good fortune to meet," The reception at Plymouth must liaye rankled considerably in the mind of the reverend gentlemen, for we find him contrasting it with his welcome among the llechabites, and it led him to" wish that the ministers of my own church would not leave the whole business of welcoming strangers to half-a-dozen over-worked men, but try to realise that when men who have put in long years of service in distant lands come back to the fountain bead of affairs, they would infinitoly rather be shaken bands with than meet with a lackadaisical stare, or a greeting as indifferent and formal as a greetiug may be." DISEASE DEFIED! HEALTH INSUIIED! CLEMENTS' TONIC HOLDS THE lIECOKD. More lives saved by Clements' Tonic than by all other medicines combined. A GENUINE ARTICLE COMMANDS SUCCESS, CLEMENTS' TONIC IS GENUINE. CLEMENTS' TONIC ISSUCCESFUL. HEAD THE EVIDENCE Cathedral Sq,, Mr. H. Cms. Kehb C liristchurch, cubed of Nechhoia. New Zealand, writes October 17lli, 18M: —For a long lime I sullorcd occasional acute attacks of neuralgia; the pain was intense while the attack continued. You may depend I tried everything to euro me and get relief. Some preparations would give temporary relief, aud the pain was all the more unbearable afterwards. Heading an advertisement of yours in one of our dailies, I bought a hottle of Clements' Tonic (I was in great pain at the time), aud on arriving at my rooms I took a large dose and wont to bed, and immediately fell into a sound sleep. On wakiuß I found all pain had vanished. That is quite three months ago, and I am pleased to say I have never been troubled with neuralgia since, therefore I can with confidence assert that it is a reliable cure for neuralgia, With many, thanks for your valuable Clements' Tonic I ain, yours very gratefully, H, Charles Kerr, Cathedral Square, Christdiurcb, New Zealand.
