leave the latter and walk few hun dred feet to find the coach waiting to take. us to Tikitere--the place of weird- ness and curdling sensa tions, as will be seen by the suggestive names given to the boiling mud holes. A guide here awaits you, and takes you through the following scenes, giving appropriate sketches of their uncanny and grue- some history: First there is a 'pure alum"spring; then you come to "llell'S Gate," the Inferno of this wonderful district. Standing amidst stream of this veritable witch's cauldron on a small strip of rock, the smell of the hy- drOgen, together with the earth tre- mors, is enough to give the visitor a taste of the internal region for one days relaxation. (The contrast be- tween heaven and hell cannot be great CT than that between Hamarana and Tikitere.) Then there is the boiling lake. l is said to be 220 degrees Fah- of black water of this lake curdles the feelings, and gives a most weird and awe-inspiring effect to the region. Then you come to the "DOnkey En- gine," so-called because of the sound the boiling mud is continually giving, like the thud of the donkey-engine of a ship Succeeding these, you have the "Porridge Pots," the "Devil's Por- ridge pot" .'Devil's Glory," ''Devil's Punch Bowl" and others of similar titles, all active boiling mud holes with their greasy substances and sulphuric fumes in imitation ofstheir large broth CTS, tine Boiling Lake" and the "In- ferno." Then look at the sulphur pits where the Maoris are working.
 Coming back you have the "Gates of ParadiSe,' ,' SO-called, 1 imagine. from their apparent clearnesS when cOmpar- ed with tho thick boiling mud and mass of the other holes. Near the house of the guide there is a wild cher ry tree, with it's roots in hot water. Here the guide leaves you, and directs you to the "Blue Lake" You cross the high road and go through a beau- tiful bush for three-quarters of a mile, the foliage and vcrdure of which is an absolute contrast to the deSolation and weirdness you have just left, until you come to the lake, which is a perfect piece of silent solemnity, from 50 to 80 acres in extent, while all around you are the hills covered with shrubs in which you know the birds are feasting themselves, but beyond this there is not the least >semblance of animated life. Before you are the deep blue Wa ters, locking cold and relentless, and yet there is calm and quiet that is poetic, so that you ravish yourself with this rcfreshnent after the horrors of Tikitcrc. You then retracc your steps through the beautiful bush again, find your coach awaiting you, and then drive home a distance of 10 miles, pass ing through some of the ruins of the great eruption in 1886: then on and on through the fern covered country, pass ing what is known as "Sodom and Go- l, q
 ing of immense deposits of sulphur in every form and in all styles of activity and soon you reach your hotel, where, after dinner and a bath, you feel you can go to bed at peace with Grd and all the world, and sleep the sleep of the tired and thankful.

 there has !been a steady growth and development of the parish. Several thousand dollars were expended in

Meanwhile the faith ful workers and givers have seen grow ing congregation, an increasing Sunday school and a communicant list eX- banding from 76 to 116.

 Salisbury, of which church the people of Lime Rock were members. It was owing to the zeal and liberality of Senator and Mrs William H. Barnum
 and Mrs Lucy Ann Richardson that the church was built. In the renovat- ed church there stands an exquisite

A VISIT TO THE WONDERLAND OF

REV D. J. MURRAY, THAMES, NEW ZEALAND.

We did not call at Mokoa, but went on to Hamorana. After we left the launch we took little walk while the boatmen pulled up the stream, then at a given spot we entered the boat and went along one of the most eXquisitely beautiful pieces of nature in the world. In the bed of the stream moSSes of ev- cry possible delicacy of colour were growing in patches; then a beautiful clear spot revealed shells and sand, while the tintS in the water made one feel as if he was in some enchanted re- zion: then by means of a rope the boat was pulled up the stream, and sudden ly we arrived at a bluff, and at once we were over a marvellous piece of the Gre ator's pOwer-a pure spring of clear, cold water yelling up at gentle, yet subtle and strong force, discharging it. self at the rate of half d million gal.

The water is so buOvant that coins thrown into it will not sink, but instead will lodge on the side of the spring: in fact the sides are literally studded wit pennies that have been thrown in by different people. Then the mosscs and vegetable matter makes the whole a marvellous kaleidoscope, while at the bottom some beautiful stones and shells glitter like mammoth diamonds. The water is very refreshing to the taste. After this, as one comes back again down the stream, the wonders seem to multiply-here a clear patch of beautifully tinted blue water, there another tint, then a patch of clearcrys- tai, with sand and shell and cOral;thcn a buried trunk of a tree, itself covered with wonders, while all around one are the dropping willows in every shade of green, polished in sunlight, makinythe whole scene a wonder of wonders.

from the Siebert shaft, and is being
