CORRESPONDENCE.

"WHAT WERE THE DOVES FOR?1

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—With tender care and solicitude for the proper religious education of the young, the Synod of this diocese annually appoints (i committee, under whose direction a course of lessons is prepared for use in Sunday schools. Of this committee the rev. incum bent of the Pro-Cftthedral Church of St. Paul in this city is, or was, a member, In the lesson for Advent Sunday (November 27th, 1881,) the teacher is instructed to ask the questioii which serves sis a. prehtde to this lettet Presumably, from the references given, and from the general tenor of the lesson, it was the intention of its compilers that the teacher, after indicating to his scholars what the doves were for, should proceed-to comment upon,the cir cumstances which le_d to the forcible expul sion from tho precincts of the Temple of those that offered tho doves for aale, In the absance of auy suggestions on the subject from the committee, it ia difficult to con ceive what other line of instruction the teacher could take up than this, viz , that the episode is recorded.for the purpose of impressing upon us the impropriety—shall we Bay?—of diverting from its legitimate use a building specially erected for, and dedicated to God as, a house of prayer, and utilising It as a convenient place for the exchange of marketable commodities.

Assuming that hiaconceptionof tho object of the lesson was not inaccurato, the teacher would naturally feel somewhat dis concerted, to say tho least of it, were he to find that, during the ensuing week, ono of his scholars had invested the modest slim of one shilling in the purchase of a voucher which matured at S fr.ra. on December 5; and which, on presentation at the Pro- Cathedral Church ot St. Paul, would entitle the bearer to listen,,to a varied assortment of vocal and instrumental music, as per schedule. Under such circu instances the teacher's reflection upon his last Sunday's lesson would surely be, cvi bono 1 But if his idea of the lesson was not correct, he is placed in a dilemma. For, to the ordinary mind, there docs not appear to exist a very large distinction between the sale in the Temple ola pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons, for the purposes of Temple worship, and the salo, In * church, of so much music, tho proceeds of which are to be devoted to the maintenance of worship in that church, Nor does the analogy of the case appear to be dostroyed by the fact that the harmony of sweet sounds which ia advertised for laleatSt. Paul's is negotiated for outside the building. If, however, it ]'B argued that this does alter the case, the distinction is so subtle that it seems worthy to be placed side by side with the ruso adopted once upon a time by a certain un just steward. Now, this organ recital (it is an ill phrase) can have but one of twO objects. Either it is intended to be an act of worship or' it is not. • (The interpolation of a couple of hymns would seem to invest it with a quasi-devotional aspect.) If it be intended as an act of worship, the freewill offerings of the congregation would constitute an element in that-worship; but this is a con tingency which apparently is not relied upon with any degree of confidence for satisfactory results. If the other alterna tive be the case, then the affair simply re solves into a purely commercial transaction —"so much music for so much money."

Viewed in this light, it becomes a matter for consideration how far the principle in volved is in accordance with the injunction, " Moke not My Father's house an house of merchandise." The bishop of a neighbour ing dioccie has recently published what may be regarded as a pastoral letter on tho .subject of entertainments in churches. Subordinating his other reasons to the primary one, which may be said to have its foundation on. the words above quoted, his Lordship has firmly refnsed to give his con. sent to a projected arrangement almost identical with the one now under review. It ia-a source of regret that apace will not permit of the reproduction here tof the several excellent reatons which his Lord ship assigns for the attitude he has assumed.

Now, though it may be pleaded,and with some the plea is current, that the proceeds of this organ recital at St. Paul's will be applied to a legitimate purpose —that is to say, the end justifies the means—yet if we connect our Sunday-tchool lesson about the doves with, the stem admonition, " Make not My Father's Houseanhonseof merchan dise," the combination would seem to teach us, incidentally at any rate, that " to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams."—Yours, &c, Habet.

Gentlemen,—The result of the nomination or the honour of representing your district in he General Astiteblr of New Zealand involves , oontest, As a candidate for thai honour I wish to state, ,monßßt other reasons, why t mVve neither anvassed you personally nor at public ttoAHn&a, L honse to house oanvass over snoh a large flis rict as yourg was to me impossible, and I did tot think it right that I should attempt to bias he electors in the choice of their representative ty the decision of public meetings, believing aa ; do that the private judgment of the individual ilector should be the tesc of-a candidate's fitness or the position he aspires to. The Town of Onehunga, whioh now* forms lortion of thenewly-oreated District of Mann :au, has honoured me with its unbroken con idence for the last 21 years. I believe there is lOthing antagonlstio between the Interests of Inehunga, Panmnre, Remnera, Epsom, One ree Hill, and Mount Roskill, and I have conse u ontly felt emboldened to offer to represent the Dlarged District of Manukau. It has been my misfortune during my political areer to see Auckland shorn of its glories. No ne can say that I, by act or word, ever wavered i my devotion to my constituency or province. (anyone thinks I nave been unfaithful to my onstituency, or to the province of Auckland, 3t him vote against me. ,< I never despaired of Auckland retrieving its 'osltlcn. Th« enterprise of its settlers has done t, and the wheal coming round, I now begin to cc around me signs of a sew era of prosperity .awning upon this portion of the colony, and 3t it not be considered any unworthy ambition 1 mine to desire to have a voioo in direoting he advancement of this province. There are many fields open for the develop aent of its resources and interests which I shall tot partioolarlse. Outside of my duty as member for my din rict.l have never shrunk from endeavouring to .0 my duty, without fear or favour, In the publlo iody—whether Provincial Connoil .or Home of tepresentatlvesrof whichlwksa member, to U the districts of the province. In both these bodies I have bad positions of lonour and responsibility conferred upon me inaolicited. and in these positions I hare had tut one deeire.to do my duty fearlessly and faith ally in the enforcement of that order whioh I elt was due to the representatives of the peopt it New Zealand and to the protection of the 'arliamentary liberties of Her Majesty's sub jects in thii colony. It rests with you now to express approval or lisapproyal of my oonduot in my public ;apaclti6?.
