The Wesleyan Church.

There were about fifteen office-bearers present at the quarterly meeting of the Aahburtou Wes.eyan olrsuic, held In the Baring Square sohoolroom on Thursday night; Rev. T. 6. Brooke m the ohair. It was reported that, notwithstanding the substantial reduotion of the oirouib debt by means of the recent harvest festival, there was still a deficiency of such de mensions as to make it imperative that united efforts be made during th» ourrent month to extinguish it. Reference was made to the Brunner caUmity, and arrangements made for retiring collec« tionaat next Sunday's town services, and also *t the country services subsequently. Short reports on the Sunday schools were onsidered, and regret was expressed by one of the speakers that so little interest was shown by the parents m obis most Important branch of church work Society stewards were elected for the ensuing year, and the claims of the con nexional organ — The Advocate — were con sidered. Among other matters of interest brought before the meeting ;waa the. con templated visit of Ray Mr O'Donnell, an evangelist of no mean repute from Victoria, and a resolution was unani mously carried that immediate steps be taken to secure the rev. gentleman's eer vioei for a mission m Ashbnrton as soon after tits arrival m the colony as possible. Mr H M. Jones was asked, and con sented, to give an account of his visit to the Auckland Conference on a date to be fixed, and the important question of Foreign Missions was, on account of the late hour, deferred until the June meet ing. Mrs Hay mo n, to whom a hearty vote of thanks was accorded, dispensed coffee and cakes, a part of the proceedings espeoially appreciated by the members who had a wet drive of eight or nine miles before them at the midnight hour.

The half-yearly meeting o! the Ashbur ton-WilWby Wesleyan Sunday school Teachers' Convention was held m the Baring Square schoolroom on Friday night. There were about forty teachers and officers present, with a sprinkling oi visitors, who took a very lively Interest m the prccaeiinga. Ray. C, Abernethy was m tho chair doriugr the early part of the msflting, and later on Rev. T. G. Brooke presided. Mr Gray burn, the general secretary, gave reports ot visits made to the different Sunday schools of the respective circuits, and information of a valuable nature was laid before the meeting. An animited conversation took place on eomu naattera arising out of the rapnrr, the practical ou'eome of which will doubtless be beneficial. The Rev T. G. Brooko was elected President of the Convention for the e« ming jeir, and Mr Gray hum was re-elecod Secretary. At this stage refresh man ta were di>ptm>ed, and these to the accompaniment of a cheerful tire and social int. rcourße, gave the room for the nonce a moat free-and easy aspect. On resuming business, aomu further routine matters were dealc with, after which Mr Stout, of Winslow read an excellent paper on * The best methods of gaining and retaining the interest of our scholars* ' Subsequent speakers express -d ihnir appreciation of th - way m which Mr Btout, dualfc with the sul jeot, and the rneo'iiig was quite of opinion that such a jiaper was wonhy of a nvre ix'ensive audience. Arrangements were made for the next meeting to be held at Willowby, and Mrs Low was s?ked to write a paper on * How we may best secure and retain the sympathy and co operation of the patents/

A Dastardly Outrage

Mr 0. Eneor writes to the Press as fol lows :— '* My two youngest boys, aged respectively eighteen and fifteen, were camping last night on the beach botwoen beith field and rtmberley. About nine o'clock, hearing the dogs bark, they looked ont of their tent, and saw m the moonlight two men with puns coming from the adjoining paddock. Thinking the men had gone on, they went back to the tent. About ten minutes after, the dogs being attain disturbed, the boyß put their heads out of the tent. They then saw the same two men, standing about a chain off, deliberately point their guns at the tent, and both fire. The tent was riddled wi'h pellets, and one of the boys, being gr&z d on the head, ciied out that he was ahot. The miscreants Immedi ately made <ff As an empty whisky bottle was found close by, no doubt the men were drunk, or half drunk. Al though the matter has been placed m the hands of the police, I think such utter recklessness should 'be made as pnblia as possible, m order that larrikins may Fee tor themselves how the reckless abuse of whiskey and firearms may at any moment land them m gaol, or even bring them to the gallowi."
