Dr Torrey's Mission.

(Contributed.)

A large and overflowing audience again greeted Dr Torrey on his appearance at the Canterbury Hall last evening. There is no mistake that a speaker of exeeptio al ability, with great powers of rhetoric, has come to light in Dr Torrey, and the intense interest and close attention which is given Mm in every detail oi his discourse shows very plainly the hold which he bus ob tnined over the minds of iho Ohrislchurch people. Dr Torrey laid no particular basis for his address; luj,t aimed direct at what he considered the cause of a great deal of the laxness in Christianity to-day; tho inability of the people to think.' If ouly men and women would pause and cousider the sort of life they were living, look thor oughly into the shame and hollow pleasures with which their lives are filled, not one could honestly say that they were truly happy. No one can be happy without Christ. He is the Alpha and Omega of all good Christian lives, the beginning and the end; and those who give themselves up to the worship of Mammon and put Christ out of their lives, of them at the last day it will tvv&f be said, "depart.from me, ye cursed I know ye not." Is it not time then that our dreadful state was made plain to us; if we would not stop to think, then someone must think for us, and put the matter plainly before us. First of all what; is a Christian ? There are many men and women who think they can serve God quite easily by leading quiet lives and keeping the secret of their so-called Chris tianity locked in their hearts; hut no: of them it is said, " He that denieth Me, him also will I deny before my Father, which is in Heaven." The true Christian, be it man, woman, or child, must first surrender them selves, their 6ouls, their minds, utterly and unconditionally to the Bles-ed Saviour, acknowledging Him before all people, striving to please Him in all things, and then of them it will be said, "He that con- j fesseth Me, him also will I confes3 before j my Father, which is in Heaven." This is a j giorsous promise, this hope of eternal life, i and no words, no language, however deep, : soul-stirring, and inspired, can ever convey to the human mind one-half of the meaning j of that word eternity. To some it means a promise so glorious, So sweet, so beautiful, that at times the heart and mind overflows with the gladness of it, and we feel our selves likened to someone standing on the verge of some boundless ocean which lies unexplored before us, but coming in over the dancing sunlit waves we see the ship of fulfilled desire and hope loaded with the treasures whioh we had laid up for our selves in heaven. But what must the word eternity mean to that other vast army, those who have lived without Christ, who have lived for the present alone; and for themselves, .what must that word mean to them ? Alas, something more dreadful J than language can express, a terror un known, full of suffering and torment and awful punishment. They stand also on the shore, smother shore, looking out in pain and sorrow over a dark -forbidding sea and watching disman tled wrecks, emblems of their own wasted lives being driven towards them with blasts of the anger of an outraged God. And this is the end to which this generation is hvtrrying if something be not done to stop them. If we could only be made to realize what a dreadful thing it is not to be a Christian. The loss of all hope for eternal life with Christ, shutout forever from God's favour enveloped about with the fire of His righteous, wrath, and indig nation, to perish forever. If this is our loss, what then can be our gain ? a few ■worldly attributes that can never give us pleasure, a few short years of hollow mirth, with perhaps a short space of- gratified ambition, and then, eternity; we shine here for a brief space and are then swallowed up in infinity, with numberless other perishing bouls, shut out from the light of God, shut out for ever from the glorious angel throng, to work out through endless space the long, long penance which all shall surely pay" who sacrifice future, hope for present possession. If people would only think and pause to consider what this life is, com pared to the life beyond, what can it ever b.o but a shadow, a short transitory exis tence, and then there is a severance of the spul from the body and the true life begins. And yet there are thqse who would sacrifice this promised life, for the life we live here; bs we stand to-day men and women, we are fcut the caricatures of man and woman as God madp them, and the man or woman flrho is willing^o pose as a caricature of the two sexes as God made them, must indeed be lost to all sense of hqnaur and rectitude. The lecturer concluded his address by a spirited and soul-stirring appeal to all those who were willing to accept Christ as their personal Saviour, to do so there and then. A great number of people rose and publicly declared for salvation. Mr Alexander took the platform at various intervals in the address and led the singing, in which it must be remarked the " Ashburton contin gent" showed remarkably good form, in return for which Mr Alexander requested them to perform alone, which they did, illiciting great praise and commendation from that gentleman. In reference to the above, ifc must be mentioned that some very energetic practising was indulged in by the contingent on the way to Christchurch, which enabled them to show their vocal powers in the manner mentioned.

INTERPROVINCIAL.

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Chris'j:ch.uf ? ch, Sept. 1\ Br Torrey.at his meeting in the Canter bury Hall this evening, made a statement as regards the financial aspect of his mis sion, in consequence of statements circu lated here as to the renumeration of him self and Mr Alexander. He said that both the Chicago Evangolistic Institute and his Saturday night Bible Class had offered to pay his expenses, and he had found out that the latter had been paying them every month. He, therefore, did not care at all from a personal point of view -what the congregation gave. If anything above his personal expenses were Iwnded to him, he supposed it would go to the Bible institute. He had engaged Mr Alexander, and guaranteed him a cer tain amount, which was just a quarter of what he was receiving in America, but as a matter of fact he had not had to pay Mr Alexander a penny.

At a meeting of the executive of the North Canterbury Farmers' Union some time ago, it was decided that the Minister of Justice should be requested to ask 1 Stipendiary Mag istrates to discontinue the practice cf send ing objectionable characters to the country, as they could not be kept under the surveil lance of the police in sparsely settled dis tricts, while women and children are in con stant; dread of Violence from those charac fers.'■■■ihe IJn^er-Secretary for Justice has replied as follows:—" lam desired by the Minister of Justice to inform you that he regrets he is unable to give instructions of fiach & nature to Stipendiary Magistrates, a$ fro do sp : .would amount to interference with the, administration of justice." Ij; was decided to hand the correspondence to the press, and tha|; the executive was"of opinion that the Minister had not treated the sub' jeot with due consideration,seeing how hard the present system was on settlers in lonely places.

The Missing Barque Timaru.

United Press Association - By Electric Telegraph - Copyright

Christchurch. Sept. 12. The barque Timaru, overdue at Kaipara, is ownud by iWV.ssrs Turnbull and Co., of Christchurch, and is in command of Captain Johnsen, who has had eighteen years' experience* in New Zealand waters. Besides ballast, she carried 20 tons of produce, making 160 tons altogether. She is an exceptionally stiff vessel aud the owners do not think an accident has happened through the ballusfc shafting. She was seea on August 21, when five days outirom Lyttel ton, by the Everland and Morning Light, about thirty-five miles south-east of Cape Campbell. A north-west gale sprang up on the 24th, and the Timaru was seen by the Morning Light about 10 miles east of Kaikoura Penin sular. The wind from Friday till Sun day had been exceptionally heavy with a high sea, and the Timaru apparently rode out the gale alright. *A southerly breeze then sprang up with thick weat her, and the two vessels ran before, the Timaru being lost sight of, and th« Morning Light, bound for Waitapu, was off Cape Campbell at midnight, when the wind was light and tbe weather clear. There has been no rough weather since, and as the Tiniaru came through the heavy gale without mishap there appears to be no reason to* suppose that shifting of the ballast has been the cause of the vessel's non-arrival. The Everland, which was in company with the Timaru and the Morning Light off Cape Campbell on the 21st, anchored in Cloudy Bay, and arrived at Kaipira on the 27th ult.
