If they attended properly to the members of their respective Churches they would find sufficient work to do. The Churches had not hitherto done their duty to the non-church going population. They had not done what was done in other places in New Zealand. He knew of one Church supporting two missionaries ; and he would never be content with the members of hit own Church until they had a missionary employed in con nection with it. The missionary's work should be sup ported, as it would pay. (Laughter.) His efforts would increase the membership of the various Churches, and the result would more than pay his salary. But tbat was the lowest view of the I case. Auckland w»s in the centre of the province, and it should be kept in a healthy state. There was above all the priceless value of immortal souls to be considered. Kind counsel and encouragement would do much towards bringing many wanderers to the fold of the Great Shepherd. He believed they had secured the services of the right man for the work in the person of Mr. Mason. He was well adapted for the work to be done. There was an amount of Christian devotion and enthusiasm displayed by the young men of that City Mission Home which should call forth the earnest sympathy and support of the Christian people of Auckland. He hoped they would all unite and work for the common cause, and for the glory of God. He also trusted tbat suf ficient means would be found for the successful carry ing on of the mission work. (Applause.) Mr. Osmund Lewis supported the resolution, and promised to do what he oould for the furtherance of the objects of the meeting. The resolution was unanimously carried. The meeting sang the Sth hymn : " There is a land of pure delight." Mr. Mason next addressed the meeting on the reminiscences of missionary labour among the poor of Auokland, in whioh he reviewed the nature of the work in which he had been engaged. The Chairman apologised for the absence of the Eev. Mr. Edger, who was to have addressed the meeting. He had been present, but was obliged to leave the meeting. Mr. Hedgecook also addressed the meeting, and solicited the contributions of those present in aid of the institution.
