BISHOP COWIE'S LECTURE ON "WYCLIFFE."

A lecture on "Wycliffc" was delivered by His Lordship Bishop Cowie, in the old St. Sepulchre's Church, Symonds-street, last evening. Owing, probably, to the inclemency of the weather, the attendance was not large. Rev. B. T. Dudley, incum bent of the parish, occupied the chair, and in introducing the Bishop he said the lec ture would serve for the inauguration of the building as a "Parish Hall and Lecture Room." Their desire to have a build ing available for other purposes than Divine services had been ful filled, and no more appropriate subject for tho opening could have been chosen. Bis Lordship Bishop Cowie then commenced his lecture. He was glad that a historical lecture was deemed acceptable. It was a weak point in the reading of church members that the history of the Church was not duly Btudied. The historical side of the argument for the Church was tbe strong side. No century was more interest ing to all Christian people than the Four teenth Century. The speaker then referred to the height of power which tbe Papacy attained, and its decline from the yeai 1290. The origin of the decline was that when the Emperors of Rome went to reside at Constantinople the Bishop of Rome became the highest authority in the tituiar city of the empire, In the course of time, he claimed to be master of all Churches, Bishop of Bishops, and an authority for all Kingdoms. All readers of English history knew how King John humiliated himself before the Pope, paying him 1000 marks a year in recognition of his suzerainty. The idea of such a high spiritual authority was a good one at first, but it came to be abused. The object was to keep the peace among nations. But it was found that no man could be so isolated as to hold himself so high above the interests and prejudices of the times, The lecturer then traced the history of the Papacy for several centuries after the death of Gregory X, with whom, in tho opinion of a great historian, died all the real power and glory of the Popes. His death happened in 1276, and subsequently the Popes became Italian princes. In 1357 Innocent VI. demanded his dve1 from Edward 111., which the King resisted, and it was then that Wycliffe came forward to defend the cause of the King. Wycliffe was born A.D., 1320, at Richmond, in York shire. A great intellectual movement was' beginning at this time through all Europe. The people were ignorant, although the- Churches were splendid. The ordinary clergy were illiterate and uneducated. The Psalms had to be translated from the Latin tongue for their use. Some clergy, how ever, held the highest offices of the State. Williaw Wykham was Chancellor, and Wycliffe's attack was against him when he wrote that no ecclesiastic should hold office in the State. Until then nearly all literature was in the Latin language, as amongst the Mahomedans all literature is in Arabic. It was found that there were otherlanguages capable of expressing the profoundest human thought. There was the language used by Bante, for instance. The Pope could do no longer what ho had hitherto done. He could no longer assemble armies, and direct them where to go and what to do. Iv 1357, Wycliffe wrote against the " mendicant friars " who, under the guise of beggars, were enriching themselves. Wycliffe instituted a fraternity of his own called the " Simple or Poor Priests " whom he made use of in time to spread his own opinions and oppose the begging friars. These poor priests went "barefooted in russet frocks." In 1361, Wycliffe became Master of Baliol College, Oxford. The University of Oxford, during 'the early part of tbe twelfth century, was in a very poor condition; but it became wealthy. Wars had so reduced France that the University ot Paris declined, and many of its scholars resorted to Oxford and Cambridge. The first professorship of Hebrew in the Uni versity of Oxford was established in 3530. In 1458 the first Greek professorship was established at Paris. It was in 1363 that the Statute of Praemunire and Provisors was passed. The former made it illegal to publish in England the Pope's Bulls with out the King's permission, and the latter prevented Popes from providing for their friends of benefices. England was regarded as a milch cow. Up to 1366 Wycliffe only wrote against the political power of the Popes. He now published his tract, "De Dominio Divino," showing that dominion was founded in grace, and proceeded from no authority except that of the Almighty, and in 1374 Wycliffe was sent as commis sioner to Bruges to meet the Papal Nuncio to protest against the appointment of Eng lish Bishops by the Pope. The population ot England at that time was about two mil lions, and the number of ecclesiastics was between 20,000 and 30,000, who owned one-third of the* soil. Their "spiritualities" amounted to twice the amount of the royal revenue. It was in 1374 that the King appointed Wycliffe rector of Lutterworth. In 1376 the King laid before what was called the "good" Parliament the wrongs received at the hands of the Pope; It was said that the Pope received five times as much asthe taxes paid to the Crown. Church livings •were held by foreigners. Wycliffe used very strong names against the Papacy. The Pope was "Antichrist," a "purse carver." In 1376 Gregory XI. returned to Rome. Wycliffe was cited to appear at St. Paul's, and he was defended by John of Gaunt, the King's son, who probably re garded the prospect' of acquisition from the Church property. Gregory determined to put Wycliffe down, but died when he appeared to be on the point of success. The speaker then referred,to the great scandal to the Church arising out of. the election of two popes, and then gave a his tory of the translation of the 'Bible,, which was undertaken by Wycliffe in 1380. He' translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was itself a translation by Jerome. The terse, homely language seized, upon the popular mind. Archbishop French j says the .influence of that work exists over the English language to the present hour. It was at once seen that the. English tongue was capable of expressing the greatest truths. If Chaucer was called the father, of' English poetry "Wycliffe might claim to be considered the father of English prose. Wycliffe wrote tracts called the •*Wicket" and the "Lantern of Light," which was condemned by the Chancellor of Oxford, who was in those days simply the representative of the Bishop of Lincoln, in whose diocese the University then was. Wat Tyler's rebellion broke out, and some of the respon sibility of that was charged upon Wycliffe. In 1381 the whole Bible appeared in English. The last two years of Wycliffe's life were passed in his rectory at Lutterworth. . His followers were called Loltards (idle babblers), and were persecuted—some of them burnt. On the 28th Decemberhe was -seized with paralysis, and .he died,*the next day. Tbe manner of his death" was called a visitation of God's wrath upon him. Thirty years afterwards.the Council of Constance ordered his bones to be taken up and burnt. Henry IV. suppressed the Lollards, ahd in 1389 . their opinions were declared tobe aheresy punish able with death. Wycliffe was great in the evils he overthrew, but he did not build upi For the work he did the English nation must ever revere him, and hold his name honourable among the great ones of the past. Selections of music were rendered at in« tervals during the evening by the choir, Mr V. E. Rice presiding at the harmonium ;

The Rev. Joseph Cook, it is reported, has accepted an invitation from Mr Spur geon to deliver some lectures in the Metro politan Tabernacle, London.

In response to a generally expressed desire amongst the residents of Onehunga and tbe district lying between it and Auck land, a meeting has been called for Tues day evening at the Epsom Hall for the pur pose of taking some steps to secure the im mediate repair of the main road. It is now in a very dangerous state, and its repair is urgently required in the interest of the travelling public. ~ ';" !

AN OPERA HOUSE FOR AUCKLAND.

The appearance of an architect's advertise ment in our last issue inviting tenders for tho construction of an opera house in Wellesley-street proved a complete surprise to the very large majority ot our readers. No one, apparently, had dreamt of such an undertaking, and the announcement of it has produced a considerable amount of interest and curiosity in the public mind, There was some little scepticism at first as to the genuineness of the affair, but that feeling is being rapidly dispelled by the publication of the facts. The inception of the project is due to Mr H. N. Abbott, of ■the United Service Hotel, and ho it is also who is prepared to embark in the enterpris ing venture. Mr E. Bartley (architect), has been authorised to call for tenders and to prepare the plans, but as the latter are not yet ready we are precluded from entering into full details of the proposed edifice, A goneral idea of the intentions with regard to it will suffice for tho present, and this we take it will tend to show that the new building will not only be an ornament to the city, but will supply a want which the Choral Hall and the Lome-street Hall only indifferently meet^-viz., a place dedicated to music, and so fitted up that performers may be heard to the greatest advantage, while the public are accommodated as comfortably and as agreeably as possible. It will be Mr Abbott's studied endeavour to compass these ends, and in achieving them he confidently expects to receive a full measure of support and patronage. The proposed Opera House is to occupy the whole extent of the vacant allotment which at present extends from the western end of the United Service Hotel as far as the corner of Elliott-street, and it will be two storeys in height, built substantially of brick, cemented outside, • and handsomely furnished within. It will have a frontage to Wellesley-street of 110 feet, and a frontage to Elliott-street of 70 feet, the public entrances to be from the former thoroughfare. One large doorway near the hotel will afford ingress to the pit and stalls, the passages to the two divisions branching- off from one another behind the ticket-office, while access will be had to the dress circle through a separate door situated higher up the street. The various divisions of the house will have the same relative posi tions as those at the Theatre now have, but the circle, unlike that at the Thes pian temple, will be semi-circular (if the; paradox may be i allowed) lather than horse shoe in shape, the design being to afford more spacious sitting-room in the stalls, and to render it available as a ball room if deemed expedient The dimen sions of the stalls will consequently be 40 x 66 feet, thus giving an area as large as that obtainable at the Choral Hall. Arrangements will be made to curtain off the other parts of the building when ever s this portion is beingutilised in the man ner just indicated. It is calculated that the opera house will easily seat on the grouud ,l,soo,people or rather more than the Theatre can accommodate in the stalls and pit, but the circle-will-not be so large as that at tbe latter building. The stage, however, will be 5 feet wider and of about the same depth, viz., 42 by 66 feet. The arrangements for lighting the place will be carried out after a similar method, while means will be taken to carry off the heated and vitiated Air through a cupola on the roof. Kspecial attention is to be paid to the devisal of means of facile and rapid escape in case of panic or danger. In addition to the ordinary doorways a passage will be made under neath the stage from the stalls, and a door provided -for allowing egress in times ot emergency through the hotel yard. The stage entrance will be from. Elliott-street, and care will be taken to ensure the,com fort and consult all possible requirements of performers. Altogether the building and its equipment promise to be worthy the city and thoroughly suited for the particular pur poses which it is designed to subserve. Mr Abbott was desirous that it should be finished in time for a grand opening during the Christmas season, but as five mo*thsat least will be required for the work of con struction, it is not likely to be ready before the end of February or the beginning of March next. Tenders will be received up to the 10th prox.

THEATRE ROYAL.

Mr F. Marshall made his final appearance as "Jeames" at the Theatre Royal last evening. The unfortunate weather had an apparent effect upon the attendance, but still there were a fair hour.' This Saturday) evening Mr F. Marshall will appear in two favourite characters, the per formance commencing with the comic drama of "The Deal Boatman," Mr F. Marshall as Jacob Vance, to conclude with the favourite comedy ■'■All tnat Glitters is not Gold,"Toby Twinkle being impersonated by Mr Marshall. The same bill will be presented on Monday evening, and on Tuesday "Orange Blossoms" and "Milky White" will be produced. Mr Leake, now playing in Christchurch, will follow Mr Marshall at the Theatre Royal with his celebrated specialty "My Partner.-' Mr .Leake is an artist well-known throughout the Australian colonie3, and, though his stiy in Auckland will be limited to four nights (owing: to other engagements), his flying visit will doubtless be appreciated.
