CHINESE IN AUCKLAND.


CHINESE IN AUCKLAND.  WORK OF THE MISSION.  PROPOSED PURCHASE OF HALL. The need for a church home and a centre for Christian work among the Chinese of Auckland has been felt for some time. There are no fewer than 600 Chinese in and around Auckland, and the social, moral and spiritual welfare of these has been the subject of serious consideration by the authorities of the Auckland Chinese Mission. With the Rev. W. Mawson stationed in Auckland as missioner to the Chinese, an agreement has been entered into for the purchase of a hall in Cook Street. This will entail an expenditure of £1600.
