A NEW ZEALAND DIVINE ON EARLY CLOSING.

Tiik London " Public Opinion" quotes tlu following admirable remarks :—'-The Rev R. L Stanford preached at All Saints Church, Duuedin, on the subject of "A Wrong-doing in -Our Midst,' The evil denounced is one that may be taken to heart by the managers of more than one establishment in Auckland : ' I want to speak more especially about a wrong-doing in our midst which does, T fancy, escape attention, but which is producing evils of which we shall sooner or later have to bear the consequences. I refer to the wretched habit of keeping banks especially, but also some commercial houses, openhalf the night. Open, that is, so far as the clerks arc concerned. In thefirstplace,theforcing young men to stay till nine or ten o'clock at leastlo work, night after night, is a de frauding of a neighbour, for there is an un written lawhefe declaring that a certain wage is given for a certain time of labour. 1 don't think I exaggerate when I say that it is becoming the settled habit of the banks to keep the men in their employment at work till ten or eleven, night after night, by a sortiof irresistible moral pressure, which it is utterly impossible for them to resist, I his miserable policy arises from two causes. One great cause of it is simply bad manage ment. The other, mere greediness. 1 understand that these young men ar3 often by no means too busijfr employed all day. lii some of those institutions which are the worst offenders, and where this is the case, the evil is one solely of bad management. In those cases where work' goes on all day and half the night, it is simply a question of greediness. The place is short-handed, m the desire to give larger dividends, and every shareholder is concerned in the sm. I am well aware of the difficulty of dealing with a subject like this. It seems when ire iuflttire into it to be just nobody's faiilt. ItiSWMGf those matters that ought to be baiftfet by public opinion ; and it can, I think, be cured in no other way. I should like to point out to you—some of whom may have brothers, or husbands, or sons, suffering under the enormous evil—the con sequences that are almost certain to follow from this wrong-doing. It is simply impos sible to hope that a young man, often a mere lad, entering one of these places, can go on leading a healthy, God-fearing, honest life, with nothing to be ashamed. of, and nothing to conceal, such as I love to Junk of as the ideal of a young man's life. God has implanted instincts of happiness and animal spirits in your son, which will find an outlet, healthy or unhealthy, as the ease may be. To turn him out of his office at tensor eleven o'clock at night, after a whole day spent more or less in the vitiated atmosphere, is to deprive him of all means of healthy recreation, and as an inevitable consequence to drive him at last to un healthy amusement. Don't suppose this a far-fetched prediction. I have seen this happen with my own eyes again and again in" this country. You, the managers or shareholders iv banks, you who have some influence more or less, and who are shut ting your eyes and holding your tongjaea about this monstrous crime, are responsible before God for the ruin, moral and physical, of many a youug man who might have lived'to "be a useful member of society. I trace swiftly his career. No chance is given the lad for cricket" or boating, and so on. Every chance is given him for gambling and drinking at mid night. Gambling leads to debt, and debt leads to thieving. I say that we have all known young promising lads run the gamut of disgrace, and lose their life's chances through nothing else but this miserable crime of keeping them at work all the evening. Do you ask how you can interfere ? Oh, you can find plenty of ways if you really desire to bring about any moral reform. You can cut out these ulcers if you choose. Would to God it were only as easy to remedy the ill effiects they have left"behind them. By your silence you are giving consent and approval, and helping the immediate manager to defraud his servant and rob him. Rob him of health, happiness, honour and honesty. I speak strongly of this social fraud, because^ I think it wants attention attracted to it, nntil it becomes well understood that an oiiice that requires to be constantly open at night is thoroughly badly managed. I have nothing, of course, to say about occa sional pressure on mail nights. There is a great deal of nonsense; remem ber; about all this pretence of hard work, constantly requiring night work, that wants exposing. I repeat it, and challenge contradiction ; in every case where late hours have become the habit, it is either owing to miserly management or bad management. Once more, and in con nection with this subject, I remind you of the social sin of late shopping on Saturdays, by which you defrand your neighbour, and 10b him of his holiday. The free-thinking part of the community are, I fear, strong enough to keep the shops open in their sel fish, indifference to their neighbours' wrongs. I am sure that no servant of Christ, when once his or her attention is attracted to the question, will go on repeating the sin. The wrong done to the shopmen of this town is of the same nature as that wrong done to the bank clerks ; it is greater in the num bers of the sufferers, it is less as regards the effects, because it is only on one night, not every ni^ht, that it is perpetrated. The offenders will have to answer for their sin one day, when it will seem a very poor excuse to say that you ne.ver meant any harm, that you never thought of what you were doing, or you never remembered what the consequences might be. You cannot escape the respon ibilities under which you lie with regard to Bour brethren." '

Has very great pleasure to announce that since j his removal into Mr. Dyson's late shop, his \ S3- DINING ROOMS "®a \ have been renovated at great expense, with j every regard to the convenience of hi 3 cus- j tomers. The LOWER SALOON is th<j most spacious and comfortable, as well as the best ventilated Dining Room in the Pro- : vince; and. Up-stairs he has furnished an extra i room, of comfortable size, to prevent over- j crowding. There are SPECIAL ROOMS FOR LADIES also up-stairs, to which are attached side oflice3 provided with ablutionary and other conven iences. His Table he feels confident needs no recommendation. The liberal patronage of the Professional and Commercial Gentlemen of the City wnich he has received for a period of over eight years is a guarantee that the Bill of Fare is such as will please the most fastidious. EVERY DEiil'vJACr OF THE SEASON is always to be obtained. British Magazines, Illustrated and Co mic Jour iials, together witU the leadiig London News vjapers, are laid on the tableo immsdiately on the arrival of each mail steamer. He, therefore, i hopes with some confidence that be will, in his j New Premises, continue to rec&ive the largo ' share of patronage which has boan accorded to him in the past. E. W. wishes also to draw the attention of Merchants and Storekeepers to his locaU/ mannfactured Confections, which rival those of Keiller and the best English makers.
