In the afternoon the Rev. 8, La wry was the preacher, taking for his text Psalm x.c, 16, 17, pointing out how the divine and human elements of work must go together, and that the sure way for our work to bo established was to re cognise God's work and to always work in harmony with Him. The evening service was taken by Rev. J. Cocker, who preached a sermon appropriate to the oc casion. There were large congregations at both services, and collections for rhe building fund amounting to £3 5a sd. On Wednesday afternoon the residents turaed out en masse for the tea meeting. | Tea was laid in the public schoolroom, and was provided by Mesdames F. Hydes, J. E. Bland, E. J. Church, and J. G.

Educational Institute.

PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.

Wellington, January 11. Mr Grundy, speaking in favor of the establishment of a Court of Appeal for teachers, said, at present teachers had absolutely no security of tenure, and much as the Education department might desire to remedy matters, under the existing stato of the administration of tbe Act a remedy could not be found. He con curred with the proposal that the Boards should be approached on the subject, and he believed that the majority of them would fall in with the idea. It was* eventually decided to approach the Education Boards on the subject. In the report of the " Status and Pay ment of Teachers Committee " all refer ence to the Institute's opposition to centralism was struck out. An addition was made strongly urging upon the .Edu cation Department the desirableness of establishing a fund for the assistance of aged and infirm teachers. The report as amended was adopted. Th« statement of receipts and expendi ture of the Institute for *he past year showed a credit balance of £57 15s lid. The delegates will be the guests of the Wellington branjh of the Institute at a picnic to morrow. The Defence Minister has placed the launch Ellen Ballance at their disposal for an excursion round the harbor on Friday. Th© Committee's report was adqptfcd. Jt recommended, inter tylkt, t\\e establish ment of' a Court of Appeal for teachers, uniformity in school books in the colony, that a return be made to the system of payment on " wording Instead of f' strict" average attendance, that the compulsory clausas of the Education Act be placed in tho hands of the police in districts whwe up tiuant officer is ap pointed, A motion was passed suggesting that an annual conference of Inspectors be held. The report of the executive of the Institute, which was read, strongly urged that iurther steps be taken in the case of Mr Harrison, Auckland.

MAORI MISSION.

The religious bodies in New Zealand are girding up their loins, preliminary to a renewed endeavor to spread Christianity among the Maoris. The Anglican Church has been applying to the Society for Promoting Chrislien Knowledge for aid in establishing a mission to the • aborigines of New Zealand. The Wesleyans have never allowed their efforts among the Maoris; to flag, and at every representative meeting of that body progress, more or less satisfactory, is reported, The Presbyterians, too, are active and earnest in the work, and reports on their Maori mission scheme are hope ful, Nor have the Roman Catholics, been idle, In a recent address to his congregation in Ash burton the Very Rev Father O'Donnell made a stirring appeal for aid to the aboriginal mission, iv the course of which he pointed out that the colonists of New Zealand had net. been over-observant of their duty to the Maori, whom they had sup* planted in the occupation of the soil, and whose satirical complaint of the pakeha's treatment he quoted, to ths effect that the pakeha had stolen the Jand from under the feet of the Maoris while directing their eyes to Heaven. This appeal is being put forth in every Roman Catholic church in the colony. Bishop Luck, on his recent visit to Europe, was able to awaken interest in the mission of his church to the Maoris, and to collect the respectable sum of £4450 in aid thereof. There never was a better opportunity than is now offered for the missionary to work among the natives with some hope of success—some hope of, in the near future, xnaking a Chris^an community of the people whose country we have entered upon and occupied. The war between the races is little more than a memory now, and its renewal is only possible in the minds of the pessimist prophets. The war interrupted the 'york of the missionaries, and although since peace reigned instead of strife the natives have not reverted wholly to their old-time superstitions, those superstitions are not by any means extinct, and the great body of the natives themselves can hardly be called Christian, while many who profess our common faith have that faith very considerably diluted with savage notions. The civilisation that has followed the establishment of British rule has not always been of q, (3hris.tianising ofyarapter, How hope less; was it, fc.r instance, to attempt to carry on missionary work when the mpst direct contact of the nativei with our laws waa at the sittings of the Land Courts, which prolonged often for months, became the centres of the grossest orgies, which the non-official Europeans were only too anxious to foster as a source of profit. Land is a not so easily parted with now, even were the native owners willing to sell to the first buyer that comes along, and the Maoris are beginning to settle down and cultivate their land, instead of selling it for a song and spending the proceeds in riotous Jiving. The Maori knows that the time is very near when he will have to fall into the ranks of civilisation and follow its pursuits*-and that is why we say there never was a better opportunity offered than the present for the mission work among them to be successful. An,d. surely this work will not be allowed to haH for wnt of, fkMfa It fa ft

wo k which claims the sympathy and support of evvry Christian, even civilised man, and we trust the appeals which are now : being so earnestly made on behalf of the Maori Missions of the various churches will be freely responded to
