THE PREMIER AT CHRIST CHURCH.

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph, Ohbistohukoh, March 1 At the Opera Houße this evening there was a large attendance at the public meeting held for the purpose of presenting an address to the Premier m connection viith the Old Age Pensions Acb. The address was illuminated, and stated that the most hearty thanks were due for the very laudable efforts which had resulted m the Government being the instrument by which such a humane measure had become a statute of the colony, bringing comfort) and happiness to a large number of worthy colonists during the period of nature's decline. In the course of his reply the Premier reviewed the progress of the old age pension scheme through Parlia ment, and said that it had been placed oq the statute book m spite of the stonewalling of the Opposition. The Government had been frequently accused of not being sincere m thek desire to pass the Bill. This was said m regard to nearly every measure that the present Government had passed, but) the fact that the Bills had become law was sufficient answer to such an accusation. Since the Old Age Pensions Aob had coma into force numerous testimonials had come to hand m its favour, and it was generally admitted that although there might! be some necessity for altering details, the principle that had been affirmed was universally approved of. He had that day received a message from the post office authorities that 2180 pensions warrants had been issued for payment: m the colony, (They had been told that there would be no revenue to meet the charges for pensions, bub the surpluses of the last two yeara which had accumulated on account of the Oppo sition blocking the Bill of 1896 would be more than sufficient to provide the money required. He reminded the electors that it was for them to say at the next general election whether the Act shall continue on the statute book, and he for his part had nob the slightest doabb m regard to the re sulb, as he was convinced the measure had come to stay and would not be repealed; (Che Premier's speech was well received, and he was applauded throughout, At the conclusion of the meeting the Premier was accorded a unanimous vote of thanks for the Old Age Pensiona Act.

"I was a strong, healthy woman until about live years ago, and while living m Eng land was recovering from an attack of measles. I took a chill, had a relapse and came very near dying. My blood was left m a very bad state, abscesses formed on my body, I was confined to my bed two-thirds of the time. At times I was unable to move. For two years I failed to obtain any relief.
