THE LICENSING OASES. The Chairman reported the result of the licensing cases heard recpntly m the SM. Court. With regard to Mr Ward's case, which had gone against the Council, as instructions to issue an appeal to the Supreme Court had to be given at very short notice, he had sent out circulars to the members of the Council to ascertain their opinion m the matter. The result was that all but three of the members were m favor of an appeal to the Supreme Court. The Chairman pointed out that the reaßon for the appeal was not so much m opposition to Mr Ward's demands as that the Magistrate, having refused leave to appeal m the other cases, this was the only case m which the Council's liability or otherwise for licensing expenses could be taken to a higher court.

SUNDAY SERVICES

jpßxsmrrAnHiAs cu^b<;h

In the absence of the Rev G. B- Ingli" who J8 taking a short holiday for the pui - pose of recruiting hia health, the Rev Gordon Webster, of Christchurch, occu pied the pulpit. In the morning, h chose his text from the eigh h chaptt r o' the gospel of Mark—verses 22, 23, 24, 25. " And ha cometh to Bethsalda : and fhfiy bring a taiind man unto him, an 1 be sought him to touch him. And he tool, the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town : and when he had spit upon his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. And he looked up and said, I see men as trees walking. After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made htm look up, and he was restored and saw every man clearly." The preacher m his dis course treated the miracle related by St Mark, as an active parable, stating tha Christ was m the habit, m such cases, of not only alleviating the sufferings of one man, but of aiso giving m a striking an d impressive manner a lesson showing the truth and the object of his kingdom. Ira that parable had been shown the great value of vicariousness and intercessory prayer, m the fact that it was the blind man's friends who brought him to Christ and besought him to touch him. This point was enlarged upon, but tha preacher at the same that he said words could not overestimate its worth, warned his hearers that they still must not lose sight of their individual responsibility m regard to their spiritual welfare. He then referred to the method adopted by Christ m dealing with this man, whom the preacher con sidered had no desire to coma to Christ, and, had it not been for the vicariousness and intercessory prayer of his friends, would not have received his sight. He compared the case under question with those of blind Barcimeus, Paul, and the woman who merely touched the hem of his garment and was made whole. The omnipotent power required to heal m each : case was the same, and to have merely [ touchod this man's eyes as he did with Bartimeus would have had the same effect, but Christ showed distinctly ia this I parable that so different subjects should be prepared for their relief m vastly different ways. Thus, the preacher said, each individual, though he or she could only find salvation the one way, required a different method to be adopted by those who wished to assist them spiritually. A j visitor .on such a Christian mission might go to a house and find a Bar timers who would only require a few wordß of Chris tian advice and would accept the truth, while on going pext door he would find the inmate a sceptic, who would even re fuse to believe that his visitor had any real interest m his spiritual welfare, and that his professions of such were hypro critical. It was m varying the methods of treatment by which Christians endea vored to induce others to accept salvation, according to the different individualities of each person, that Christian work really lay. In the absence of Miaa Grubb, the organist, Mr J. C Lane played the organ. In the afternoon the rev gentleman con ducted service at Wakanui.

"RELIGIOUS QUACKS. "

On Sunday afternoon, the Rev John Hosking, pastor of the Free Methodise Church, Christchurch, who conducted the services mening and evening at the Primitive Methodist Church, lectured m the Oddfellows' Hall on "Religious quacka " There was a large attendance, and the Hon. Major Steward occupied the chair. The chairman, m introducing the lecturer, referred to the apparent proneness of the people of New Zealand to be influenced by religious quack?, and considered thab Mr Hosking was to be commended for his action m endeavoring to show the fallacy of their pernicious doctrines. Ths rev. gentleman first dealt with Worthingtonism, or the teachings of Arthur Bentley Worthington, of Christ church. He related to the audience how he (the speaker) shortly after Mr Worth ington's arrival m Chrisfcchurch, about three years ago, had made inquiries concerning the new comer who was preaching so strange a doctrine, with the result that after investigation he had found him to be one of the worst scoundrels m the world, and as such had exposed him to the public. With regard to Worthington's teaching, he referred to his theory that there was no such thing as pain, and his statements concerning reincarnation. In reference to the first, he said that Worthlngton taught that because God was good he made all things good, and would not allow us to suffer pain. What was commonly called pain was m reality but a freak of the imagina tion, and if a person made up his mind to beiieve that he was not m pain he would not suffer from pain. Such a statement the preacher characterised as absurd, giving instances m support of his conclu sion, and then went on to reincarnation. This theory, he said, was nothing new as a theory, and was but another form of the old belief m transmigration. Trans migration supposed that after death the souls of men passed into the lower animals, whilst reincarnation meant that they, passed after death into another human form. Often those who professed to believe m reincarnation quoted scrip ture m its support. A favorica passage was that containing the enquiry of Jesus' disciples—" Who hath sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind ? " But their argument m that instance for the reincarnation theory was refuted by the answer which said "Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents, but that the works of Goi should be made manifest m him." Another passage often quoted supposed John the Baptist to havabeenthe prohpetEHas come to earth m another form. But Scripture itself again refuted this belief,, as J, ohn himself emphatically stated when asked that he was not Elias. In speaking of Theosophy, the Rev Mr Eo&klrg said it appeared very strange to him that Mr Besant could be an-out-and-out materialist—believing m matter and matter alone —for twelve years, and m twelve minutes could change to a belief so exactly the opposite as the teachings of theosophy. He isserted that the thtosophieal society besides teaching spiritualism, reincarnation t»nd other doctrines, $fmed $irestly at the overthrow of the Christian religion. He was quite willing to admit that there waa more m the mysterious force commonly called psychic, than some people believed, but Mrs Besant went bo far as to say that by the power of thought distance could be nullified, matter triumphed over., and communication held between persons thousands ot tniles from e.ach pth,er, Be fore he could accept such, a doctrine as that, he would need clear data for her statements. He had said to, a person w^io had been with him at one of Mrs Bezant's lectures that if the ladj's statements were true, it would be an easy matter for her to have used the power of her mini and caused the chair $q move towards tV audience. Ha considered Christa^iphians were quacks, because wniie professedly brethren of Christ they would not accept many of his principal teachings m the Bible. They denied the immortality of the soul, the personality and the divinity of the Holy Spirit, and the p^onality of the devil. The v%y gentleman spoke at some longth m refutation of such beliefs, anci concluded by an exhortation to his hearers to adhere to the old religion which had etood the test of so many thousand years, and not be swayed like a reed m the ftaream fey every new dootrin§ they heard,

THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.

CONFIRMATION SERVICES. His Lordship Bishop Julius conducted J nfirmation rervice at Waterton on unday morning, ordinary church service' ie Windermere m the afternoon, and con* firmation service at T.nwald m the even iig. At Tinwald the church was crowded, ■(landing ruom being scarcely available. IVenty-rwo young people came forward for confirmation. His Lordship m his address urged upon those about to be' confirmed the importance of the step they were taking, and the influence it should have on their future lives. He often wondered during these services what | happened to the nine hundred he con firmed every year. He was afraid that many met shipwreck. There was much danger of shipwreck, but if they would follow the Bible as their chart they could not go astray. He sometimes thought of the many advantages enjoyed m the colonies compared with other countries. When he used to confirm young people m London, it ueemed as if many of them could not possibly help meeting shipwreck drunken parents, bad companions, poverty, >»nd all the wickedness and vice of the town <o contend against; but m New Zealand everything was m their favor, and the eh ef evil they had to avoid was carelessness. MISSION SERVICES. Theßev A. W. Robinson, M.A., opened the mission services m connection with St Stephen's church on Saturday night There was a good attendance. The rev gentleman impressed upon his hearers tbat the mission just being opened was an opportunity for spiritual improvement which should be taken advantage of. There were two ways of conducting a mission. They often heard of "getting up a mission, 7' but he had more faith m a mission which was got down. With the first named there was much fervour per hap?, and considerable religious excite ment, and many converts were made; but shortly after the inevitable re-actlon came and the effects partially died away, A mission which he termed "got down" might, though conducted with little de monstration, produce an effect upon thove who took part which would never be effaced. The Rev Robinson conducted m< rnlng and evening services afa the Church yesterday and m the afternnon addressed an audience of men only. In the evening the Church was crowded. The preacher, m the course of his address, made a feeling allusion to the Wairarapa disaster, and also to the death of the Czar, eulog ising him as an earnest Christian man, and at the conclusion of the service the orchestra played "The Dead March m Saul." The mission will be continued each evening until Wednesday evening (inclusive), commencing at eight o'clock.
