THE ORANGE CELEBRATION.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—ln your Tuesday evening's issue I noticed n detailed account of the Orange celebration, and on reading some ot the speeches I am particularly struck with the aims displayed. This 1 can only account for on one of two suppositions, cither: 1. That it is the correct thing on such an oc casion to " take a line," and that the state ments made are merely "professional;" or, 2. That an immense amount of misconception exists respecting the subject heated. The chairman dealt with Roman Catholicism from a political stand-point, and asa whilom member of Parliament his opinion is doubt less worthy of respect. If a number of our fellow-citizens Was to form an organiza tion for political purposes, no doubt others have an equal right to do likewise. I am, however, more concerned with the religious aspect of the question. No one who is acquainted with me will accuse me of undue love for Protestantism, or even for that much abused thing—Ritualism. There are, in many tilings, con nected with the Church of Rome I heartily condemn, many of her doctrines to which I do not subscribe, but it seems to be the fashion at many of these celebra tions to echo mechanically threadbare (ales, many of them long siuce exploded. Noth ing is more dangerous or less likely to con vince than the iteration of half truths. As one speaker referred to the famous Syllabus, 1 may say on the authority of no less a writer thau Cardinal Newman, the rules for interpreting authoritive docu ments are not known by laymen. A gen tlemau who describes himself as "a very young Orangeman," makes some rash statements, not the less mis-leading because they are only partly correct. He says, for example, that Roman Catholicism has de vastated the fields of "Ln belle France," &c. A little more'acquaintance with the political and religious history of that country will lead him to modify this state ment. ' I have some personal knowledge of Frauce, and am in correspondence with some of the most emiueiit leaders of religious opinion there, all of them Pro testants, and they take a very different view of the subject. Agaiu the same speaker says "All religious reforms come from the laity," it statement that would not pass muster with nuv examiners ou ecclesiastical history. Nothing is easier than to bandy general terms uf abuse, such a3 "superstitious," "mummery," " ignorance," etc. What is superstition ? The gorgeous service to the Church of Rome, the beautiful Anglican ritual, the plain unadorned worship of the Methodist, arc each in turn branded as " superstitions " by those who donotundei staud or approve them. The fact is we are all too prove to think that superstitions which d»cs not accoid with our own parti cular views. bow much bitterness has existed in England in past times, because Romanists und Protestants did not under .stand each other better. Time has shown us tho folly of the conduct that led to the Titus Oates plot and the Lord George Gor don riots. 1 thank God that Englishmen understand each other better now. I have invariably noticed that the best informed men ou both sides are usually the least bitter. Mr Gladstone, whose writing on tho subject of Papal infallibility caused him to be regarded by ußra'l'ro'cstants as their special champion a few years ago, does not think it inconsistent with his duty to ap point the amiable and accomplished Loid Kipon to be Viceioy of India. I may say that from an extensive acquaintance with the different colonies, I do not think our fellow Romanists deserve the reproaches so often cast at them. In Aii-trallu, I had the honour of the acquaintance of a Roman Catholic Bishop aud a number of his clergy. I had the opportunity, in the far interior, where i spent many years of cleiieal toil, of thoroughly studying the lives and char acters of theso men, and I only echo the general sentiment of the P.oteßtants of the district when I say itheir self-denying labours, devotion to their work, and general i_ood character made them respected by all classes of the community. May I ask the young men connected with Orangeism, to get their information from the approved works of good authors, and uot to depend on semi-religious papers, or the interested statements of partisan lecturers. The subject is one .worthy of the closest attention, in which I have for years taken the deepest iuttrest. Lord Alacaulay, who ceitainly had no leaning towards Romanism, .aid there is no institution ou eaith more worthy of examination than the Church of Koine. lam convinced the result would be that, while we vehemently protest against what is bad, we would be generous enough to applaud the good. While we coudemn our Alexander VI, we would not hesitate to admire the piety and devotion of a Benedict XIV ; as we loathe a persecuting Alva or a cruel Bonner, we would pay a tribute of praise to the saintly Havicr, the learned and conscientious Newman, aud the gentle and loving Faber. In England the principal of disintegration ' seems to have i cached its utmost limit, and serioiifly hampers social, political, and religious life. There, clergymen, noble men, and gentlemen think it worth while to organise and pray for the reunion of Christendom. Iv this new land, I hope we may be animated by the same lofty aims and noble motives. For myself, which a loyal churchman, I wish to stand to Komanist and Protestant as " friend of all, and enemy of none."—l have, &c, F. H. LONG.

July 14th, 1880,

Sir,—On reading your paper of July 13tb, I was struck with the inconsistency of the speeches reported therein in connection with the Orange soiree. After describing what the Church of Home was in days of yore, the Rev. l.itt advises his brethren not to vote for any Catholic, thereby making Orangei-in what the Church of Borne was. Every mau has a right to a seat in Parlia ment. It appears Mr Isitt does not think so. People that live in glass houses, &c. Mr Isitt speaks of New York aud Tammany Kings ; let his memory travel across to the Pacific slope, where he will find a brother minister of his guilty of murder; his father, another minister, also concerned in it.— Yours, &c,

Consistent.

PRIZE FIRING-ITS AIM AND IN TENTION.

(To the Editor).

Sir, —Some of our rifle shots have been sorely exercised over the positions imposed when firing for Mrs. Clark's cup, which con ditions will also obtain for Captain Clark's belt. They want to know whether a rifle man cannot make more points in'aiiy'position than by kneeling, to which the answer is, "Why of course ho can." Then they want to knowif that is the case, why he should not fire in any position, for getting in their greed for prize winning, the aim of all prize firing, viz., the attainment of ultimate effi ciency for the field in case the rifleman should ever be called on to go there. Now, sir, I would ask the querists to get over the primary difficulty of filing at short range in any position i.e. lying ou the front or back of the body. The difficulty being that of ob taining a view or sight, even on the most level ground ou account of the grass, ti-tree fern, &c., or over un even and broken ground. Again, what position would bo taken under the follow iug circumstances : In advancing to, or re tiring from attack at short range; when fired upon from ambush ; when iv company square, and again in rallying square, aud in a number of cases when" the firing would have to be sharp and decisive and lying down out of the question. The only reason able objection at present urged, (aud that it would appear proceeds from agreed for prize winning) is, that all out practice in stand ing or kneeling would be, thrown away (except for Captain Claiks belt) if the Government do not demand the positions in all Government prize firings. Well, sir, I take it that is a question for the consider ation of the Government, and doubtless a reform in this direction at all events will take place, for it is not likely they will continue in nn error into which they have been betrayed by a former subordinate, pandering to the last for prize winning so inherent in some of those who shoot well. Tho moral of the foregoing is—Prize firing was instituted for the purpose of promoting ultimate efficiency for the field. And to promote it tho conditions should be varied as much as possible.—With a recognition of tho (practically ignored) fact, that at long ranges a knowledge of distances would be absolutely necessary, aud should be com bined in all long range matches.—l am, sir, A Volunteer cf Fifteen Years Service.

Terrible Fire at Renwick town.

UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION]

LOSS OF LIFE AND NARROW

ESCAPES,

BLENHEIM, Saturday. run Woolpack Inn,Rcnwicktown,occupied by Mr George Stevenson, has b.en corn p'letely destroyed by fire. One man perished in the names. Four others have sustained it?juries of a serious nature.. The oiigin of the lire is unknown. It appeats to have broken out in one of the bedrooms. There were twenty persons in the house at the time the alarm was given by Messrs Mclvor and Thomas. Mr Stevenson, who was in the upper story, escaped by tho back staircase. Mrs Stevenson and children, who occupied a room downstairs, were taken out through the window. The headway made by the flames cut of all means of escape from within to the awakened sleepers, and one by one they were compelled to breakthrough the windows and jump to the ground. Mason jumped hastily from the . bed, and made a rush to the door, which he scarcely had opened when a scorching tongue of flame dashed into his face, and drove him back. Masoa was momemtarily staggered by the shock, and made for the window, which was just above the roof of the kitchen, and catching hold of the frame, was endeavouring to wrench it out when the flames caught his hands and rendered them useless. Fearing to be smothered, fe e butted at the window head foremost, and bursting through he fell on to the roof of the kitchen, and from thence he bounded on to an iron grating below. His head was the liist part of his body to sustain the shock., He was picked up in an insensible con<_fu tion, and conveyed to a dwelling, where hei now lies in a very sad state. His face and ( hands arc all burned and bruised, and his' head is cut. In the back room, in the left wing of the building, slept a man named Moses Cartwright and mate. What took place in that little room when the alarm of fire spread no mortal man can say, not even the suivivor, who has only a recollection of seeing a great blaze of light, and how he left the room and succeeded in making his* escape he has not the remotest idea. 'Ail that the spectators ofthe lire saw was the figure of a man dash against one ofthe upper windows and fall heavily on the ground outside the house. He was taken to Mclvor's house, where it was found that besides sustaining a terrible scorching, his left arm was broken, and he had a terrible, gash under the chin, as from broken glass when breaking through the window. On being questioned, he said he believed that be left Moses Cartwright in the room, but ho could not speak with certainty upon the point. At the time he thought that Cart wright bad made his escape, one or two persons in the crowd stated that they had seen some one leaving the house, whom they believed to be Cartwright. This un fortunately proved not true, and a few charred human remains, found iv the debris later on, told their own sad tale. It is Bur. miscd that Cartwright was not acquainted with the passages leading from the staircase to the exterior. When awakened he must have ran down stairs, from which a passage led to the kitchen, turning off at right angles, and leading to the outer door. Instead of turning off, the unfortunate man must have continued straight on into the kitchen, and have suddenly brought up against the wall. The confusion which would naturally ensue in his mindj and the smoke which it may be presumed tilled the apartment, together combined to bring about his destruction, and he mast have fallen, as his remains were found'(li the floor, and been devoured by the fire. The insurances were as follow:—On the building : £300 in the Union ; £100 in the National; £250 in the New Zealand. Furniture : £200 in the Union ; £50 inthe New Zealand. Stock-in-trade: £100 in the Union. jStable : £100 in the same oifice, Billiard-table : £120 in the Victoria. Total insurances, £1220. :
