Scene at a Convention.

A SINLESS PASTOR.

PASTOR BIRCH V. PASTOR iARLEY.

[per press association.]

Auckland, April 8. There was quite a scene at the Holiness Convention in the Baptist Tabernacle last evening, at which a thousand, persons were present. rAfter a hymn had been sung, the Chairman, Pastor Birch, gave an address in, favor of the dogma of holiness, and what is termed " entire satisfaction," in the course of which he quoted from the report of Eev. Mr Barley's speech at the Holiness Convention on Friday, which he proceeded to refute, more especially that gentleman's statement that it was quite impossible for any man to live without committing sin. The speaker got bo emphatic in his denunciations that at last Mr Douglas rose and protested against Buch treatment of Mr Barley in his absence. Mr Douglas was informed that the meeting was a holiness meeting, and those opposed to such views had their remedy by going to another hall, or through the •press. A few minutes later, Mr C. B. Stone, a deacon of the Tabernacle, rose and said that Mr Barley was his guest, and although he loved his pastor, he would not sit quietly and listen to such treatment of. that servant of God by another servant of God. Mr Barley should have been invited to the meeting, and these things said to his face and not behind his back. Other deacons rose in turn and re buked their pastor. Then Mr Barley made his appearance amidst applause. He made a vigorous reply to Mr Birch, holding that only the Incarnate could claim the title of The Sinless One, and flatly denied the impu tations made by Mr Birch. Pastor Birch endeavored to stop him by giving out a hymn, but Mr Barley closed hi 3 book and joined in it, and when it was concluded went on with his address again. The meeting was brought to a somewhat abrupt conclu sion. The affair has created quite a stir in Auckland.

Hoixoway's Ointment and Pills.— Outward infirmities.—Before the dis covery of these remedies, many cases of aores, ulcers, etc., were pronounced to be hopelessly incurable, because the treat ment pursued tended to destroy the strength it was incompetent to preserve, and to exasperate the symptoms it was inadequate to remove. Holloway's Pills exert the most wholesome powers over the unhealthy flesh or skin,' without debarring the patient from fresh air and exercise, and thus the constitutional vigour is husbanded while the most malignant ulcers, abscesses, and skin diseases are in process of cure. Both Ointment and Pills make the blood richer and purer, instead of permitting it to fall into that poor and watery state so fatal to many labouring under chronic ulcerations
