the western division oi the same floor, vbicb, the master said, was the SMALLER BOYS' DORMITORY. Ttis fitted up with 25 beds, and is also nnolied with a bath-room which our guide mM bad been a receptacle for all kinds of fnbbwh before he took charge. On the crround floor we were also shown the girls where they amuse themselves in let weather ; and at the rear of it the w neral dining-room and the kitchen and j cr y. The floor of the diniDg-rooin was i Vafleured with cats and hacks, and we I ere informed that it had been the custom j f c ut and chop firewood there. The' Poking arrangements in the kitchen were j \u tfl be very bad, smoke especially being 1 of. This inconvenience wa.s toj ?Z been obviated on Thursday by•; "* ' it i range. We looked in at the j hflffprtaJ. and also at the laundry, where and several girls were engaged in I fsfbiog clothes. On our return through i lij building, we passed through the sewing : where a number of the ladies' com- j (ttee were engaged in cutting out and ! .anufacturing various articles of wearing I i ,pparel for the use of the inmates. The j ! iemand for clothes is great, and the chil- j ) iren have to depend entirely on the efforts sfMiss Reynolds and the committee. The majority of the things are made from , the cast-off garments which charitably disposed people contribute. These donations, we may remark, are always gratefully received. By this time, the majority of the children had beeu dismissed from school, and they were amusing themselves about the grounds. Tliey all appeared to be comparatively clean and sufficiently clad, but they had no boots on. These are only ■worn on Sundays and state occasions. The youngsters evidently appreciated the hour of relaxation which was allowed them, and their joyful shouts proved that for the time at least they were not troubled with the cues of this world. THE SCHOOL. Before leaving the grounds, we paid a yjiit to the schoolroom, where we found jiiss Barton and her staff of two female teachers. They were superintending the completion of school tasks which had been neglected by about fifteen pupils. These children had "kept in," and at the time m reached the schoolroom, they were paying the penalty of their misdeeds L an extra half-hour in durance vile, jlias Barton appeared to take considerable interest in her charges. She informed ns that they were comparatively ipeaking well conducted, and although new comers were a little wild and gave some trouble after their admission, they soon . jreff accustomed to school discipline, and consequently developed into good little '. W3 and girls. The school is under the . control of the Auckland City Schools Cora- , mittee and the recent standard returns pre- , lenfed to that body were considered highly , (stisfsctory. All the children in the Home. , w jth the exception of those under five , M d over thirteen years attend school 1 , legnlarly. j,

MAINTENANCE OF THE HOME. The institution is partially supported by ilbscriptions and partly by Government assistance. A sum of £10 per annum is riven by the Government towards the sup port of each child committed by the magistrates or relieving officer. Those ad mitted by the executive are supported by private donations. There are at the present time 80 children, consisting of 49 boys and 31 girls in the Home. Of this number, ttert. are only three girls over the age of 1 fourteen years. The boys were formerly J tinght shoemaking, and they repaired the loots and shoes of the whole of the other children. Tuition iv this branch of trade iinot given how. We also observed that the the kitchen garden where a quantity of teeetables were formerly grawn was now uncultivated,? and on enquiring the reason we were informed that nothing had been done to it since Mr Stickley left the Home. The new master has, however, procured seeds with which to make it reproductive. The girls are taught sewfng. The staff of the institution consists of the master, matron, sempstress, cook, and laundry -soman. DAILY KODTINE.

POLICE COURT.-This day.

(Before R. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M.)

j Drunkenness.— Two persons pleaded guilty to being drunk, and were subjected to the usual penalty. Laeceny of A HAT.—Wm. Crawford was charged with tbe larceny of a hat value 10s 6d, on the 17th inst. the pro perty of Samuel Coombes, clothier, of Qneen-street.—Prisoner pleaded guilty.— Mr Pardy stated the case. The prisoner went into Mr Coombes' shop, selected a hat, asked the price, and on being told put the hat under his arm and bolted out of the shop.—One month's imprisonment with hard labour.

j Obscene Language.—Mary Burten ; shaw was charged under the Vagrant Act j with using obscene language in Chancery I Lane, to the disgust of peaceful residents in , that rustic locality.—Prisoner pleaded not j guilty.—Wm. Georgp and Mrs Garrard gave evidence, shewing that the peace of I Chancery Lane was disturbed yesterday by j a free fright, in which Paddy Healey and | Mrs liurtcnshaw were closely engaged, and j that their language, especially tbat of the j latter, was of the most degrading character.—Mrs McGuioness objected to J give evidence. Did not wish to be mixed up in the rows of the lane.—Mr Pardy said Mrs McGmnness had made a statement of the whole squabble to him.—Witness ob jected to repeat the statement.—His Wor ship: "If you will not state what you know of tho disturbance I shall send yon to Mount Eden for a week."—Witness then gave a description of the battle, and the words used by the parties, which was that Mrs Buttensham was drunk and swore!; Paddy Hewley was little better; and the '"people's orator," Mr Garrard inter fered and objected to such conduct.— Two other witnesses deposed to defendant's bad language.—His Worship said that defendant was frequently in the Court on a similar charge. She had been let off several times, but leniency was evidently ineffectual ia correcting her conduct.— Fined £5, coHs 15s. or one month with bard labour in Mount Eden.—Patrick Healey was charged with the same offence, and pleaded not guilty.—ln this case similar evidence was produced. —Maria McGuinness heard a good deal of swearing. One called the other a dirty old soldier, and he retaliated by calling the other a " Hobart Town lag."—His Worship said there seemed to be a general disturb ance.—A man named Williams wished to speak ;he knew the truth.—His Worship : " Let us hear it then."—Williams then de posed that, although only a cripple, his intellect was as clear as a summer noon. He_ then went into a long statement, in which he said that Garrard was most pro voking. He called Paddy a d old soldier, aud he thought a nif.n who had fought tor his country as Paddy had was entitled to a little respect as well as a pen sion. Paddy called Garrard a " loafer," at whicn he fired up, and his tongue ran nine teen to the dozen.—Several others having given evidence, His Worship dismissed the case.

Larceny of Boots.—John Connor was charged with stealing a pair of boots, value 7< Gd, on the 17th inst., the property of Wm. Johnson, Victoria-street.—Prisoner pleaded guilty, and being au old offender, was sent to prison for three months. Charge of Arson.—further Hearing. The charge of setting lire to offices in High-street, the property of Christopher Greenway, preferred against Wm. V. Bindon and James Bindon on the night of the Ist inst,, was resumed this morning.— Mr Pardy conducted the prosecution on the p:irt of the police, Mi E. Hesketh and Mr E. Cooper watched the case for the prisoners".—Newton Bushell deposed that he was a clerk in the employ of Mr Green way, in High-street, just above the offices recently in the occupation of the Bros. Bindon ; he accompanied Detective Jeffery on his examination on the day after the lire; but, as his evidence was the same as Detective Jeffery, it is unnecessary to repeat it.—Cross examined by Mr Cooper : Mr Bindon had called his attention to the unsafe state of the cellar grating three months ago, and said any person might easily lift the grating and get into the cellar. He men tioned the circumstance to Mr Greenway on paying Bindon's rent on the] 25th of May. Nothing further was done.— James MeCormick, mining agent, deposed that he knew Wm. Bindon and his brother; was formerly partner in the firm in High street, where the lire occurred, from the 24th May, 1880, to the 31st July, when his contract terminated. The stock was not insured when he joined, but, at the latter end of June, it was spoken about; W. Bindon first spoke on the subject, and asked witness to what amount he should insure; his reply was that the agent would determine that after an inspec tion; he said he thought of insuring for £300; witness said no company would do it, as there was not that amount of stock in the place; Bindon said he was about increasing hi 3 stock, and a few days after he told witness he had insured for £300; did not advise the assurance; he thought he insured in the National, of which Mr Williams is manager.—To Mr Hesketh : Knew Mr Bntler, a witness in this case, and Insurance agent; he called at Bindon's about the end of last June; witness gave Butler information about the value of the stock; knew that he was there for the purpose of inspecting the stock; did not remmember Mr Armstrong calling about the insurance; had no recollection of seeing the proposal signed. He gave a true statement of the things to Mr Butler. Did not set down bins of empty bottles as full ones, nor re present empty casks as full ot beer.—By Mr Pardy : His duties were to prepare the beer for bottling, and find customers after it was bottled.—Henry E. Williams, agent for the National Insurance Company, de posed that in 1880, William Bindon did not effect any policy with his office on his stock. He only had conversation once with William Bindon, and that was in June of last year. He wanted to borrow money. His security, offered through Bindon's solicitor, was house property. Could not speak with certainty as to the amount re quired; the solicitor was Mr W. H. Connell. It came to nothiug. No proposal of insurance was made to him. Could _not say the exact amount required. It might have been £100, or £150.—William Charles Maxfield, settler of Remuera, deposed tbat he knew the prisoners. He went into business with the Bindons on the Ist of September as bottled ale merchants. Was a partner on equal terms. He paid down £350. Paid it into Wm. Bindon's hands. He was to have half interest. Remained in the business from the Ist September, 1880, till Ist February, 1881. He left it because it was not paying. His £350 was utterly sunk without any hope of retrieving it Diew out about £60 altogether, but put in another £50. When he left the firm the liabilities were about £100, and the assets £169; it was agreed that he was to receive half the assets, beyond liabilities, viz., £35; the £69 assets consisted of stocks and book debts. About the time of his leaving, Wm. Bindon said to witness, " Give me £25 and I'll clear out;" he preferred going out; the business was declining, and a labyrinth of difficulties was before him; he asked Wm. Bindon, two days before the fire, for some money on the assets; he said he had his rent to meet, and could not let him have any mony; had only sufficient funds in the bank to meet it; he had, further, a large bill to meet, which would take all the in coming money of the month. He said that business was going down-hill fast, and he would give it " best" at the expiration of his license. Was well acquainted with Bindon's books. Witness enumerated the several books in use, viz., an order book, journal, cash-book, and ledger; also rent, order, and cheque books. The book marked "Public account" was probably used before he joined the business, as the last entry was evidently made the first week in September. Be accompanied De tective Jeffrey on the Bth June to tne premises, and saw Jeffrey find two books in one of the bins under the stairs, (frag ments produced). The cellar gratings were fastened by chains going through the bars of the two halt-doors, and secured by padlocks below. Witness intelligently de scribed the various offices and cellars, and the manner of securing them. De fore leaving the premises, all the inner doors, cellars, and offices were made secure, and lastly the street door opposite High-street; the back door■lead in- into the yard, through the wall, was enured by a common lock and two hM*, one at the top and one at the bottom , that door was only opened on special^ night occasions. The £50 was a private loan to Wm Bindon, but it hadl notj been renaid. By Mr Hesketh : paid the £300 Dy Sfcque in one sum; he conkLnot say what became of the money js hei placed £140 in the bank to the credit of Bindon ana Co but drew oiit £100 on the following day'; it was paid iv he believed as a con iibution to capital. Knowing noh ,ng o business himself, be trusted busiue s mat ters to Wm. Bindon; he beheved h« state ment, that the stock was worth *«V«* his liabilities comparatively nothing, found there were bills of sale on the stock: had he engaged a proper person probably he should have been accepted for t/w. Adjourned till 2 o'clock.

Wm. Mossop, carrier, Parnell, deposed to knowing Wm. Bindon. Was employed by him on the night of the fire to take a case aad some beer to his house in Conquest Place. It was five dozen. Could not say what was in the case. It was a brandy ease.—By Mr Cooper .- The cass appeared partly fnll. He reached Bindon's house about 6 o'clock, Wm. Bindon came in while he was delivering the goods. Left Biudon and his brother at home. Took the goods from the store. Did not see any fire there.—By Mr Hesketh: Took the things ln the orainary way. Wm. Bindon said he was doing a fair business, and intended taking oui|inother license.—By Mr Pardy : There was something in the case, although it was not full. Did not|kuow why the license was mentioned. Had noidea of going into the trade himself. He said he paid £30 a year for his license. Did not ask the question—Henry Ale.xander Watt, Accoun tant iv the Bank of New Zealand, deposed that W. V. Bindon and Co. had a run. ning account at the bank. On the 2nd of June tbe firm had a balance to credit of £7Ss3d.—By,Mr Hesketh: There is £94 credit balance to W. V. .Bindon at present. The balance was|iucreasedonthe 13th June. Henry Fuller, commission agent, deposed that he had many years' experience in the liquor trade. On the 14th instant he was employed by Mr Shera to value the stock at Bindons' for the Insurance. Made a carellul examination. There were a number of broken bottles, The goods were damaged by fire ; still he could make a fair valua tion, The total value of the ales, at 63 (quarts), amounted to £43 4d; the fixtures, &c., he valued at £14 Bs. The valu ation was liberal, making £57 8s 4d. John Butler, captain of the Salvage Corpß, was recalled, and deposed as to how he got out of the cellar. He |raountcd tbe steps leading up to the trap-door, but failed in opening it, although he did his best. Got out by climbing a rope. The same by which he had previovsly got in. There was a bottling machine in the cellar, but he did not see any beer.—By His Worship : The fire could not have originated in the cellar,— This was the evidence for the prosecution. — Mr Hesketh said the evidence had all gone in one direction, and nothing to show that James Bindon was ia any way im plicated ia the burning of the place, and he would ask that he may be discharged.—His Worship said that after the evidence of the German, Bloemer, he could not see his way to release James Bindon.

The depositions were read over and the prisoners committed for trial. Bail refused.

GOD IN CHRIST; OR, HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE DIVINITY OF THE SAVIOUR.

[Sermon Preached in Lome-street Hall on Sunday Morning, May 29, by Samuel Edoer, B.A.] John xiv„ ix-x; Corinthians v., xix. Whenever religion springs out-ot a telt want, of the human soul, and so responds, as, more or less completely to satisfy it, we may rest well assured that there is much truth at the foundation of that religion. Religion is a making divine of human life. All deep outcries of the human soul are for that one true end of life. Therefore, reli gion must satisfy them; and that which satisfies them is religion. On the other hand, when religion takes the form of in tellectual speculation, which can get formu lated into creeds, and become centres of sects, with vested interests and social in fluences, you see at a glance that you have nothing there connected with the deep moral, spiritual wants of man, but rather much that appeals to selfish passions and material interests ; and then you may be sure that error ia supplanting truth. For the highest moral ends of life always run parallel with the revelations of truth. The whole history of tbe Church illustrates this point. Had this very simple principle been recognised and allowed sway in reference to this matter of the divinity or the duty there is in Christ, both the Church and the world would have been spared some of the saddest scenes that stain the pages of history. "I came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance," " I am not sent but to the evil sheep of the house of Israel," and other such sayings, are to my mind simply and alone declarations of this great fact, that Christ, in every sense and every aspect of his person and Ins life, is a response of the infinite mind to the need of the created mind. He who needs no Christ to him there is Done. He who knows what most he needs, to him Christ is not. When we for a moment think on what this means, and its most certain truth, how unutterably foolish and valueless appear all those con troversies about what Christ is—as though one man could ever decide what Christ shall be to another man—controversies which have certainly never drawn a single heart to Christ, but have driven thousands away ? I speak perhaps too confidently, but I know not how to conceive that Chris tianity should be studied and treatedot from this point of view, and yet anything be advanced tbat could do violence to a pro perly-balanced reason. Because when we know really what we mean there can be no true response to a deep instinctive outcry of the soul, that should be antagonistic to any clear mental perception. Ia order thus to treat this matter, we have first to clear away what has all along been the greatest cause of stumbling ; and yet, or perhaps because it has not the least con nection with any need or longing of our souls, men have tried to grasp and reason about the infinite Supreme in his inmost essential reality—to identify Christ with him; and, of necessity, have talked non sense. Of any one or all of these objects before us, which we can see or handle, do we know anything more than those qualities which our senses can appreciate, and which make up the nature or character of each thing ? What more can we possibly need to know ? If we obstruct these quali ties and ask what is this thing, in itself, in which these qualities were, our only answer is we know nothing at all about it. We do not mean It d«es not exist. We think it does. But beyond the bare fact of its exis tence, we are in profound and hepele'S darkness. In this answer concur all philo sophers, scientists, students, thinkers, and men of ordinary sense, of all classes and grades of thought up to this present moment of time. To put it more closely homo to many of you—what to you, fathers and mothers, is tbe child you love if it be not all those qualities of body, and mind, and heart that make up its endear ments ? What know you beyond that? Now, this is just as true of God We know him in his qualities or attributes; beyond that we know nothing. We look on all these created things and see amazing wisdom in them, and we say God is wise. We see goodness in them, and we say God is good —we see power in them, and we say God is mighty. We look into ourselves a part of ;this Universe, emphatically the highest part, and we say—thought is here, love is here, consciousness is here. They were all in the fountain of being whence I sprang— they are all in God. He tbat made me cannot he less than I, whom he made. But now, take all these away, and ask : What is God, in whom all these qualities and attributes are? What is He in himself, apart from these ? And we know nothing : not that God is limited to these. For there are feelers—spiritual, non-material hands within us that reach out into the infinite, sensible that there is an infinite, and that God is . that; but of it beyond its bare existence we can have no knowledge. So it is wllh Christ. He is to us what those qualities are, in the gospel narratives, that so endear him. Is it not then obvious, even to a simple mind—since God in him self is unknown and unknowable, and of Christ also (as of everything else) neither can we know anything (in himself). That to ask—ls not Christ really and truly in His very self, God in His very self ? is to ask » very foclish question, to which no man can intelligently give any answer at all— either no or yes. We simply know nothing, and do wisely to say nothing. And yet, my friends, the long and dreary disputes of six teen centuries, over which men have not only grown angry, but persecuted and tor tured, and murdered each other by the mil lions, in the name of religion, of peace and love—which alas, many, if they had the power, would continue to-day, in un abated cruelty. All this has been over these very points about whioh no man knows or is ever likely to know anything at all, But when we put all this aside, and ask ourselves what do we know of Chtist— what is He to us ? Tell me this :Is He not precisely what we know of God ? Is there not wisdom there ? Yes ; inimitable wis dom. Goodness ? Yes. Power ? Yes. To all of which you and I can find no bounds such as we find in our own. \ And is there not thought, and love and conscious will ? Yes; and all without an imperfec tion that we can discover; so like to God's, that both seem one: as he said they were. In fact, so that I cannot find a a single thing in God, that lean contemplate and know, which I do not find iv Christ.

But, say some, they were hnite in him—as a man. That is mere than we know. What we see of them, of course, was finite. But I think we are deeply conscious that we do not see all, and what ice see of God is finite. Do not let us forget what we can know and what we cannot know. Again, some will perplex themselves. Did not God create all things—and can we say that Christ did ? And so again, we want to see into the unknown. Whoever saw God create anything! An apostle says: "By faith we understand that the world was framed by the word of God." For we see God's qualities in these created things as I have said. Wisdom, goodness, power, etc. To be sure we do. The very qualities ice have seen m Christ My friends, I am most solemnly, profoundly convinced that when we will let the un known be unknown, and ourselves therein agnostics, if Christ was the pure, faultless, spiritual, intelligent being He is repre sented, we neither do nor can know any thing about God which we do not see in Christ. Nor does it jmake any difference whether you call Him man or anything else. If, then, anyone asks me do I believe such statements about the essential nature and inner being of God, of Christ and of the Holy Spirit, as are given in the Athana sian and other creeds, I answer, neither yon nor I know anything about it, and had better not pretend to believe it. But if anyone should ask me where do you see God iv His very fulness, in the highest, completest and loveliest attributes? I answer, explicitly and anhesitatingly, IN Christ.

Now returns the question with which we started. How does this stand related to the deepest need of the human soul. What is that need, so far as God is con cerned. But let it first be settled in our minds what the significance of this question is. We are often told that we should treat religion, the Bfble, and all such matters, in the same straightforward, commonsense manner that we do other affairs. That is precisely what I wonld ask to be done. But that seems to me just what is not done by those who tell us to do it. For if they doubted all other points, as they do the great convictions of religion, on similar grounds, human life would come to a dead stoppage. lam amazed and more than amazed to see how men will give themselves to make money, build houses, get lands, and venture into all sorts of speculations that may be ruinous to what they care so mnch about on the barest probabilities; and yet when it concerns the immortal, they will have none of it without a dead certainty. Is that rational or commonsense? In all other matters, does not a conscious need of our nature find a response? Could anything persuade us that there is none? Does not hunger imply food ; the need of activity, light, and the occasion for work ; the aesthetic feeling, objectsjof beauty ;*the profound consciousness of love, beings to be loved. Whichever you choose to put as the cause—or effect—the connection between the two remains intact. And although we may say that hunger, e.g., may be mistaken iv the choice of particular diet, nothing would convince us that in a world where hunger is felt, there is no food. Nor would anything shake our confidence in that, as food, which both satisfied the hunger, and nourish the man. I only ask that this natural and just mode of reasoning be held as valid in the cases of the highest impera tiveness as it is in all below. If this prin ciple were not good, the very heavens might perish ; for all existence must be a delusion and a snare. What then, I ask, do we feel to be the need of. the human soul. And can we imagine it otherwise than universal, as the soul developes ? I answer, these three things : Assuming the existence of a God, which is not now in question, but supposing Him to exist, do we see Him in Christ ? We need (1) that the idea, God, shall take some definite and thinkable form; (2) tbat God shall be associated with this universe we inhabit; (3) that it shall be possible to hold some kind of communion with Him; and all without taking from the perfect infinitude of His being. I mean that this is what every mind naturally longs for, ' has a craving for it; which all culture strengthens* which the highest state of moral intensity most promotes; which led George Dawson to say, late in life, that every year he became mora a Christian and less a 'f heist, i.e., that he more and more saw God in Christ. It is not natural to rest iv vague ness; the mind craves distinctness—the mental grasp of a thing, as we prefer laying hold of something external to mere beating the air. Or again, A God having nothing to do with this universe, cut off from it at all points, could not have the very least interest for us: he might as well not exist. Still more. Do we not feel that for all the pur poses of religion, for practical, religious life, the God that is must have some relation to our own souls ; that 'communion with him must be a possibility ? And beyond doubt these three things make strong men. Ido not forget that there are men who would deny this, because they would say, we can live without God altogether. I cast no slur on them; but I also remember there have been men who, were it possible, would suppress every impulse of humanity. I can not take them as a type of man so long as an impulse last?. When the last has ceased to be, can come only the infinite nothing ness. If these needs of the soul aie to be met, how shall it be but by God in Christ. We must conceive of God through things or ideas of which we have some experience, i.e., through either matter or mind-^-which ? Where can we get any distinct conceptions it it be not from the qualities of the created mind, which also must be tree from ajl imperfections, or it would distort tbe idea. Anthropomorphism, cry out some. Yes, to be sure. Is not man the loftiest and most sacred pinnacle of creation when stripped of his perversions ? And if God gives, as it were, tho finishing stroke to creation in making man to his own likeness, how should not God be in the form of man ? If we want to see a specimen of God acting upon and on this universe, can we sec it in more unalloyed loveliness than in Christ— the calmer of the tempest, the healer of disease, tbe preacher in the wilderness, the conquerer over death. 1 say that if I mieht see Christ, I would see him as I see Christ acting—more like to the God of love. It we want heart communion, how else should we get it? Who communes with a principle, a power, a mysterious force, an unknown and unknowable cause ? Have not men of all creeds and no creeds told us of

the moral beauty of Christ ? Is not that what you want tor heart communion ? But because men are losing the religion ot soul life of deep and holy quiet and contem plation, they are going to do without Christ. I see a deep abyss before the world, into which myriads of men are reck lessly plunging. When Christ is gone, re ligion will have vanished from our warm heart affections; where thought .becomes life, and life transfused with love. The religion ot imagination, or of hard logic and duty will not linger long after it. But then, does it come just to this i That all the God we can believe in we see in Christ ? No, it does not come to that. All the God you can know and think, you see in Christ. Bnt you can believe more than that; because you see that. What can you know and think of ypur child but what you see in that form ? Is that all you believe in ? What know you of light but what you see in that single beam ? Is that all there is ? Or that which fills this visible universe—is that all? Blessed are they that have not seen, and believe. Thank God for the unknown; while you praise Him in the known, out of which you weave unutterable anticipations that seem to give faith and being to the great unseen. Ah, when shall we fathom those two sayings— equally true : " He that hath seen me, hath seen the Father " ; " My Father is greater than I ?"
