AN IMPORTANT LETTER FROM A WELL KNOWN SALVATION ARMY OFFICER.

Salvation Army Officers' Quarters, Jesßia Street, Wellington, 15th January, J9OO To Proprietors, H Plantekoa " Remedies. Deap Sirs,—l would like to inform you that when I arrived In Wellington, a little over twelve menths ago, I was terribly run down m health. For two or three weeks I was unable to take any active part m any meetings, I waa com pletely worn out, and always had that tired, languid feeling we hear so much about, and neither sleep nor food seemed to refresh me, or do me any good. Someone advised me to try " PLANTE KOA," which I did, and after I had taken HAL*' THE CONTENTS OF THE BOTTM! I felt much better, and I am delighted to tell you that from that date till the tiraiß of writing this note (over twelve months) I have enjoyed the best of health, and my work ia a pleasure. If these few lines are of service to you, make use of them. Yours sincerely, Mrs Captain Lock.

The testimonial cf Mrs Lock should be of interest to Ashhurton residents, she having spent some considerable time In this district, before taking 'Plantekoa Mrs Inek had tried almost every remedy friends could suggest. The shelves m the fciillery of her house were fall of bottles ? boxes, and tins, she remarking 'It Je I like a chemist's shop.' However, m S • PLANTHKOA ' ehe found a Sovereign I Remedy r .and strongly recommends others I to try the came.

Pardemonium in a Church.

On Sunday monnnfl^December 2, the service at St James'ifOhureb, White haven, commenced about eleven o'clock, and immediately « man appeared bearing a large cross, followed by the vicar, the Rev R Duncan. There was a general rising of the congregation, stamping of feet and other marks cf disapprobation, followed by the larger portion of the congregation leaving the church. The scene that took place had been partly anticipated from an intimation given by the vicar the previous Sunday, when he announced that the cross would be introduced into the Church. The choir which numbered about forty, resigned almost m a body, and a petition was presented to the vicar from the majority of the members of the Church asking him to reconsider bis decision, but be declined, and adhered to his decision. Difficulty was experienced m getting anyone to carry the Cross, bat s man belonging to another church consented to do so. Only sevtn boys and ihree men of the choir turned np. There wag no interference during the service, The vicar, m his discourse, claimed that what he was doing was with a desire to proclaim tin truth, and that though he he might be met with persecution, as illustrated by what had just taken place that morning, he should consider to carry oat his work. At the conclusion of th* service there w»s a large crowd outside the cbnrch, who hooted and "booed" the vicar, but otherwise he was not interfered with, The scene which took place m the morning on the introduction of the processional cross was trifling to what occurred at the evening service. In anticipation of what might happen, there was a crowded congregation, in cluding a large number of local Orangemen, who sat m a body m the lower part of the church. Immediately the crossbearer appeared there was a perfect howl of indignation, mingled with cries of 'Shame,' hisses, end booting from all parts of the church, This continued for a considerable time. As the cross bearer proceeded along the aisle, one of the Orangemen jumped on the top of a pew, and wildly gesticulate ing, shouted,'l protest against the idolatoryin the Church of England.' This was received with enthusiastic cheering. Tbo vicar, the Rev B Dun can, rushed down the aisle towards the Orangeman who bad shouted, and directed one of the sidesmen to remove him. The sidesman, however, wai prevented from doing so, and imme* diately afterwards there was a rush out of the Church, amid cheers, hooting and groans, and other signs of diiap* probation. The doors of the church were then closed, and the service proceeded with, no special incident occurring until the Recessional hymn was commenced, when there was another hostile demonstration amongst those present, but not so violent as at the opening of the service. The scene continued until the cross bearer had reached the vestry, After the congre gation left the church a tremendous crowd congregated outside m the anti cipation of the vicar making his appearance, It was feared, from the state of the angry feeling of the crowd that violence would be resorted to 1 The vicar, however, re mained m the church until about eleven o'clock at night, by which time the crowd had gradually dispersed. From about; eight o'clock m the even ing until a late hour the crowd whiled away the time by singing ' Dare to be a Protestant/ and criticising what had taken place m the church The super intendent and several police officers were present, and kept the crowd oa the move
