Temperance Lecture.

Mr John Stnsdley, J.P„ leotured io bhe Oddfellows' Hall last evening on Prohibition. His Worship the Mayor occupied the chair, there was a large audience, and the pro* (leadings were opened with a prayer by the Rev T Fee. The Mayor said bbey were present bo listen to Mr Smedlpy, who was a speaker of repute. The community was greatly in debted to those gentlemen who game over from England to lecture on the temperance question; he would doubtless interest them and gife them pleasure. The physical aspeot of the temperance question was a very clean one. Mr Smedley had been here before but unfortuoately tha audience was small. He had great pleasure in ia .reducing Mr Smedley. Mr Smedley said he would take the firsb opportunity of congratulating them on having a prohi! I ionist f.rmayor. (Applause) Me waa glad to see suoh a large audience* He was there thab evening to advocate a cause of bhe greatest importance, the temper* anoe cause. Some time ago before he iefb home he went to a political meebing, and he beard a politician say bhab alt Englishmen Wtro divided into three classes, they were either workere,beggars or thieves. (Laughter) He wonld neb attempt to classify those in bhe hall, (Laughter) He himself was a worker) He had been for some time in New Zealand and he knew something aboub ib, and liked ib best nexb bo England, fApplause) In elections In England they were beaten somebin.es> In New Zealand the people seemed to reserve all their forces lill the election. If at bhe next election Ihey succeeded fa ridding bhe colony of a growing erit they would make a mark in the world. The eyes of the Christian world would be upon them ab the time of the election. Ha hoped that at the nexb election they would nob content themselves with voting themselves, but would bring others to vote He asked if anyone in tbe audience was improved bj bbc nse of intoxicating liquor. The speaker then went on to deal with the liquor traffio oa the usual lines, and illus tested his remarks With v&rious extracts and quotations. He had been ohairman oi • School Befard,-or a number of yean-, and had.always taken great interest in educa tional matters. He bad been tbe means of sending temperance lecturers to all the eohoolstinder his Board, to explain to the ohil-iren bhe effects of alcohol on the system, Hi had come here to rouse the men and women of New Zealand bo a sense of their duty, to urge them to put out of their country a great curse. He was eorry in coming through Australia and New Zealand to Sod thab this drink curse had a hold in these countries; Alt honour bo bhe Government bhab give the people of this colony powtr to veto the traffic Th.y bad nob these powers In England. If th* people of New Zealand did not ab bbc n°x. election, rise up and fh.ow out the traffic in some electorates, the world would be greatly disappointed. Pro hibition, wherever it waa tried, had been a decided success. They had had a gentleman of the name of Sherwell in JNew __e&* land, who said he had get drink in Portland. He, Mr Bmedley, had been in Portland, and had failed to get drink. There was some sly grogging Reiner on j bub because there was sly grogging d d thab prove thab prohibition was a failure ? (Voioet—No)» He had been to Olntha, and oould say prohibition was a success there. He j had been round te the tradespeople and pnt questions to them, and they said ib was muoh easier to get their money now than it was under the licensing system. Mr Smedley then gave the crime statistics of Ciuiba, Showing that the police offences had fallen from 342 under license, to 94 under no lioeoee,

Mr Smedley was much applauded when he closed his address.

Rev T Fee announced tbat Mr Smedley bad kindly consented bo give an address in tbe Baring Squa.e Weeleyan Church this evening. Tbe Re? Mr Jory proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Mr Smedley for hia address, Mr 8 S Chapman seconded the motion, Which was carried wibh aoalaaiatioo. A vote of thanks to the chair closed the proceedings. A ooll.otion to defray expenses realised a satisfactory amount,
