MASONIC HALL.—ONEHUNGA.

TliK ceremony of consecrating the handsome and substantial building recently erected as a Masonic Hall at Onehunga. took place last evening, under the auspices of Lodge Manukau, No. SSO. E.C.. and the mamier in which the arrangements were carried out reflects the highest credit on all parties concerned. The event Avas naturally regarded as a red-letter day in the annals of that thriving settlement, and nothing was neglected that was calculated to invest, the proceedings Avith interest and eclat. We gave las: week a lengthy description of the building, so that it is unnecessary to enter into details, but we, may say that it is admirably adapted to the purpose for which it has been designed, will boa great convenience to the residents, and an architectural ornament to the place. A large number of tickets Avere .issued, and the Masons of Onehunga received the hearty co-operation of their brethren in Auck land, who attended the consecration ceremony and subseouent proceedings in large numbers. Besides the trains? several of the Auckland brethren proceeded in 'busses, and shortly after three o'clock a four-in-hand left Queen-street with representatives of various Auckland lodges. At the hour appointed there were be tween -10 ami 50 Masons present from Auckland, amongst whom were Bro. G P. Pierce. R.W.D. GM., of the Trish Constitution; Bro. S. M. Leers, Acting District D.G.M., English Consti tution : Bros. Hayward, P.M.: Gordon. P.M. ; Hyde, P.M.: W. R. Robinson.P.M.; F. G.Clayton, W.M., Prince of Wales Lodge: Brock.

The last-named gentleman is said to bs the oldest Freemason in New Zealand, having been initiated into the mystei i :s of the craft in the year 1810. He is also one of the few remaining heroes of Waterloo. Bro. M. Niccol, P.M., and R.W.M. of Lodge MaunVau occupied the place of "Worshipful-Master, assis ted by the officers of the Lodge :—Bros. W. Dun- AVOOdie, 3.W. ; J. R. Hendry. J.R. and Director of Ceremonies : George Codlin. T., J. W. Waller, S.: R. Scho.ield. S.D.; J. J. Austin, J.D. Bro. Walker. R.W.M., St. Andrew's Lodge, officiated as Deputy-Master, and Bro. Hardington as Substi tute-Master. Bro. Hendry being occupied Avith other duties, his place, as Junior-Warden was filled by Bro. Burns, P.M. There were about eighty of tho brethren present Avhen the Lodge Avas raised to the third degree, and a procession was formed, headed by Lodge Manukau, the Grand officers bringing up the rear. The procession marched to St. Peter's Church, where the eA-ening service w«s im pressively read by Bro. the Rev. Dr Purchas, assisted by Rev. Tomlinson. The choir of the church rendered sacred music With taste and precision. Miss Wayland presiding efficiently at the harmonium. An impressive sermon AA-as then delivered by Bro. the Rev. C. M. Nelson, G.C., Avho took for his text: -'Be kindly affec-tioned one to another, with brotherly love ; in honour preferring one another." The offertory was in aid of the Onehunga Benevolent Society. The procesdon then returned to the hall, Avhore the dedication ceremony Avas performed in a most solemn and impressive manner. Bro. Niccol, R.W.M., delivered a most eloquent address, explaining the nature of the cere monies, and the representati\-es of Lodges Waitemata. Prince of Wales, Ara, United Service Rodney, and Sir A', alter Scott tend .red their congratulations. The Lodge Avas closed in tne usual manner, and the brethren proceeded to Bro. Tregoning's hotel, where din ner Avas provided.

THE CONCERT. At S o'clock the brethren and a large audience of friends assembled at the hall, Avhere excellent preparations had been »i a de for a concert. The programme was opened with " Glorious Apollo by the Onehunga Glee Club. This and two other glees wvr-e fairly sung. Mr Harding was raptur ously encored in " Ye Gallants of England,' and in the second part Avas equally Avell received in " Here upon my A-essel's Deck." A glee, ' The Chapel." Avas then sung by Messrs Henderson, Bartlev, Skinner, and Howden. A\diich was fol loAVed by " The Image of the Rose," by the same gentlemen. This Avas very beautifully rendered, and elicited warm applause. Mr HoAvden, who took the solo, was in capital voice. Miss Leaf sang " Jessie's Dream," and was applauded to the echo, but owing to the length of the programme, and the fact that the lady Avas engaged in the next item on the programme, she merely bowed her acknowledgments to a pressing demand for an encore. The trio, "Magic Wove Scarf," by Messrs Brett and Harding and Miss Leaf, was the gem of the evening, the perfect blending of the A-oices, and the effective rendering eliciting rapturous ap plause Mr Reid Avas encored for his rendering of '-The Village Blacksmith," and '-Humourous Scotch Sketches." A solo on the violin with A-ariations. by Mr Rodgers, was excellently played, and a pretty ballad Avas sung by Miss Vause. playing her own accompaniment on the harmonium. At the termination of the musical portion of the festivities, the hall was cleared for dancing, and a rather lengthy programme was spiritedly exhausted by the devotees ot Terpsichore. The affair Avas continued until an early hour this morning, when the revellers repaired homewards, highly pleased Avith the arrangements.

' Mr J T. Duley's composition for lagging boilers &c, appears to be increasing in favor amongst users of steam. The non conductor of heat properties contained in this composition, permits of the saving of tAventy-tive per cent in fuel. Amongst other jobs lately completed by Mr Dulcy is the coating the steam-pipes and domes at the city Avaterworks, which work has been performed by the manufacturer to the satisfaction of tho Engineer and contractors. and'may be seen on a A-isit to the machiiieiy room of' tbe City Water Works. It has also been proved that this composition Avill stand Avhen applied to boilers exposed to the weather iujtact the inventor claims that in addition to non-heat conducting pro perties the composition, is Avater tight, which further increases its value, as, in addition to tbe saving in fuel it acts as a protection to the boiler. A donkey-engine boiler lately so coated can be seen in the possession of Mr Elliott on the Avharf. The composition is also extremely useful as a covering for old or jicav roofs, being both watertight and fire proof ;as such, it is worthy of a trial. Mr Dulcy has received testimonials from some of the leading engineering firms here of the A-alueof his composition. It has, avc observe, been successfully applied to the boilers of many of the •steamers belonging to the port. Mr Duley's address is to be found in our ad vertising columns. i

" Roman Catholicism in England " is a remarkable paper by a 1 lonian Catholic in the " Contemporary RcvicAV," shewing lioav that Church is' uoav trying, and succeeding, in grasping the poorer classes in the East End of London, and lioav she succeeds in her efforts where all else fail :— "At all points AA-here the foundations of our national society seem Aveak abd sapped by tbe Avash of time, or the tricks of inno vation, Catholicism is busy in re-establish ing them, add if according to the ancient models, Avith all the iicav materials at hand. Whether to provide decent homes or the besi education, to teach the science of sciences or the secret of family life, Catholic charity Avill be found foremost among all others, and out of all proportion to the money and power of tbe Catholic population. So that this proficiency in secular learning of Catholic children seems to be certainly advanced by a con current proficiency in religious learning, and the result rewards that higher charity which, guided- by the experienced wisdom of the Church, insists that the poor should be instructed in both. There is a clear national reaction against the purely secular system, and the instinct of the people demands more for their money than bare instruction in the three "ll's." Yet, it does not appear that they are particularly urgent about any spe cial religious tenets. The old flags of Pro- ' testantism are waved in vain, and there is a ; wide-spread indifference to the variations of creed, so that liberal souls congratulate , themselves that the ''religious difficulty" is disappearing. But the nation wants, and still more and more urgently ask for, a creed and religion that can serve toAvards the higher progress of humanity. Mean time, intelligent and impartial persons can judge if Catholic charity be not vindicating in its jjnarroAV English limits the claim of the Catholic Church to be the most service able of all existing Churches towards the solution of social problems iicav and old, and toAvards the higher development of man. >
