REV MR MONRO ON CHURCH CENSUS.

(To Uio Editor.) Sm.-Permit me to make, a few remarks, ontbj J^JftTtne trouble you t°ok taint matter, thanks for «S,H°" od * i cim not understand I"w tShe RevMr MoKn™i lashes himself iuto such S^Sv^Thto census taking, unl.ss it is that like Remuora : if not contradicted tlio IS 0 5 taa o *$& ".£s2* S5 to church by letting tho members go from not been thought of sooner. Why tr.ublo the The ministers have quito enough to dp in must take some deep study to got up the ser mon'! wo hear in somoof our churches. I would SSrest If they have any apare time, to take SffinxMOtaf in tho daytime, and ta,o R roat Tira in the evening «o keep within doors and in the immediate neighbourhood of a good flro. By oil meanalet Uie members do the work. I am Bpoaking from experience. As a member, I wroußbl hard for three years. I assisted to S a new church. When it was fliMhed, furnished, and oyerytjiing nicely fitted up, the then minister told mo 'You have done weMnfl I tliank yon, bnt I have got a few men that vriU do my bidding and of my own colour, and we xvill be able to do without you now. lam not in a position through not being ordamea to give you a certificate, hut I will be most happy to set you one from the session, so that you can join any other church." I thanked him, although not very kindly porhaps, for all his trouble, hut I was not going to leave, and there fore did not need his certificate. I need hanlly sta'e how that this same parson has left for the miietuie of the country, which, ho fays, he likes much better than travelling over tho hard metal of tho city. Your remarks about minis ters being unfit for tho pulpit is very good Indeed. Whatoanweexpectf Young men are imported from the old country; some of them never would have got a pul' it in their lives had they remained at home. They come here half educated; thoy have to preaoh, or attempt to preach, on 'Sundays; study during the week. They get examined from time to time, or pretended to be So, undo* tho expiration of *r.f' eJf e*S. ft<iJp* r<s thrown into the ministry with the title of Rev. tacked on to their name. Indeed, many of them would not object to the Rev. before they are ordained. Many of them do not know the rules of the Church they belong to; in fact many of them would not bo allowed to fill the nffiee of an elder in the Homo country churchos. Sorry for trespassing on your space so much, but I hope this littlo ventilation wul dp good. —I am, &c.

THE PARNELL MEETING AND WATER SCHEME, &c.

(To tho Editor.)

Sin.—lt U certain that everybody desires good •water and plenty of it, and it is equally evident that the majority of the Parncll people are satis lied with what they have, unlesa it can be shown that they may have as good, or better, at th&samo price. In your observations upon the Parnell schemes, you have omitted to notice the dominant injustice which marks this as most other public " improvements.' It was stated la-t night (and without a blush), that those rated at £10, and paying 6s. would have tho same advantage as those rated at £000 and paying £12. 'This is misleading, because it is absolutely false. Nobody can deny thit every one of those having to pay 6s additional tax, would have to out oft some little luxury, or, still more likely, some urgent nocessaries from their families to do bo. On the other hand, it is as tilain that all those rated at £500. paying £12 or even if they had £3t to pay, would not Bacriflco tho least particle of ono of their luxuries, nor yet one single whim of their desirables. Where, thon, is the "equal ad vantage" that this person prated about? but more, they would still have large means over and above, and wondering how they nhallmvcst them— "deny it who can." Therefore I call upon every man that wishes to Tjejust to his fellovs to oppose this (and all such) by every means in his power, and also the draining delusion, which is as false as it is costly, for a more acceptablo, because a real annihilator of the evil complained of may bo adopted at pne tenth the cost-perhaps les3-and which I dare affirm I can P rove.-I am, &c.^_ P.9.—See "Mechanic's" letter and challenge in the Stab of 16th May last.

THOMAS PAINE AND SCEPTICISM.

(To the Editor.)

SIB.-I haa not the sllghest intention oJ return ing to this subject, bnt after reading your re port headed, " the Fnlplt and Scepticism," I do not ccc how I can avoid it. The Rev, 6. B. Monro has no doubt, if he bo okooses.a perfect right "to follow the advice o£ St. Paul, and avoid dieoußslng them-that Is, scopttclßm and Btholsm-1' in the pulpit." But it he thinks it iniudlcloua to disonaa the opinions of sceptics and atheists from the pulpit.heevidently thinks It onlta judiolons to defame the characters of men of these views from that pedestal. A irenerous opponent, if he declined meeting the arguments of soeptics, would also have lort their characters alone. Not so Mr Monro, he no doubt feels that it la much easier to traduce Character than answer argument. 'The im moral oareer" of Thomaa Paine whloh haoe pioted, has long ago been relegated to the department of pious frauds, and aa to his death bed I read from' Half-hours with Freethinkers,' thus-"Shortly before his death ho Btated to Mr Hloks, to whom he had Bent to arranee hla burial that his sentimentß in reference to the Christian religion were precisely the same as when he wrote the Age of Reason. On the> Bth of Jane (in the words of Olio Kickman] 1809, " abeut nine in the morning, he placidly and almost without a struggle died, as he had lived, • Deistaged seventy-two years and flvemontha. Death-bed recantations with some clergymen are delectable morsels—glorious vlotones—in disputable evidence. The body enfeebled by disease, the mind becomes also enfeebled; the bed of the dyißg beselged by well-meaning fanatles, exolted and worried with their in cessant lmfcrtunities. It Is no wonder if a murmur of ooaourrence esoapes the trembling Udb of the dying. Bat Is this a victory or an evldenoet Neither. And another important question is, how often does it occur. If Chris tian evidence cannot vanquish scepticism, while the Boeptlo is in health, and his intellect clear, active and vigorous: if it lies by until he U laid low with sioknesß. then to make the BtUok, we can only consider that Christian evidenoe has withdrawn from the contest, and follows with Mr Monro the advice ot St. PauL Mr Munro referred in hia discourse to Lord Baoon in very different terms to his referenoe to Thoinoa Palne-in faot, in complimentary terms—but he did not tell his audience that Bacon, as Lord Chancellor of England, Bold luatice, and humbly confessed to the fact, and that Pope wrote of him as " The wlsesUjrigoteßt, meanest of mankind." If the lives ot men are to be used to oontrovert their principles and bplhlons. What becomes o£ tho Old Testament ? we oanget Quite a hanndjul of lives there, com pared with whom.all that has ever been alleged osalrist Thos. Paine is mere .peccadillo. Another comparison. It is now on eatibUshed faot. by statistics, English and Colonial, that Freethinkers are mor« free from orlme, and more law-abiding than any of the Christian sects (see flies o£ the •'Dnnedin Kcho") This, however, is no argu ment against the tiuth of Christianity, but It is an immense argument against its publio utility. There is a phrase, "honest daubt. which has been going round lately, and whloh, though originating from so high a quarter as the Foat Laureate, f cannot understand. To ma It seems jurt about as intelligible as "a round squire." X?]"doubt there is a God who h«s made a toll. and demands satis/action in blood. I doobt H and that donbt is to mo a mental fact; but where does the honesty come in? I cannot «a it-bnt if I doubt either of Iheae points or onrof the doctrines of the Christen religion, Md attend church ana make- a Christian profes- BionasimaDy dolwho sodoubt, there ia where the onefool enough to believe that there are greater ftola who >»" about b'aherlng that they do not believe this or that In the Bible which they still believe? Certainly not; there is nothing to bo gained by such a conraa aa that; but it is at least ptauslble to suppose that many aay they believe things in the Bible Jho-dpn't; There Is nothing,,to be lost but Obmethintrto be ca'lned by that. Honeßt doubts K6lnß "unintelligible to me,' I shall remark on Soupt and what it has done for man. It haa given an Impetus to "enquiry anil consequently to'the acquisition of knowledge. So long as we are full of talth and void of doubt, we ait down fiilaayignoranee'ond contentment; but intro duce' doubt and the mind awakens, rub.3 |ts BTes/looks around and enquires. Discovery is followed by invention, knowledge is in creased, the arts o£ life uro advanced and nerfeotefl, and all join in the race of life with the only contention who will be first Another result from doubt Is tolerance, Whan a man is oramful of faith, he is prdnd looke down on all who differ from him. Hn la •rrocant. and would pat down all who dlffar from him. But after doubt dislodges some of tile faith, he feels the uncertainty of bis poßition. babomes more modest, thinks thero may be some truth In what others think and say, aud tha 'disposition to trample them down is replaced tha toelinat o£ toleranoe. Infalli bility is the deadly foe ot tolerance, bew-are df it everybody. In what countries Is aotlvlty most and intolerance leant? Bngland and fa American ■ Stati s, and because luf alll lty H Wast in these countries. Where intolerance ' most and aqtiyity least (

In Spain, for there infallibility l» pre dominant. One more remark. Those who olinu to, or can adopt the Christian faith, by all roear/a let them do so; and bo long as they remain content with that faith let no man disturb them. Those whose mlßfortnne it la. as fortune goes, not to he able to believe Chris tian dontrinea and become Christiana, have at least tbij resource letti'they o»n be nonast »nd not proieas what they do not bslleve. Whether they publish their doubts is another and a personal question, revolving on the point ol how far it Is prudent to do so. I; Ues with the churohas whether sceptics become open and honest, er remain concealed ana dishonest. It is an incontrovertible foot that the settled and traditional policy of the church when it was one, sinoeit became many, and up to the present hour, has been, and is. to offer a muoh hlaher premium for faith, or rather for the profession of faith than for honesty. It re mains to be eoen whethar the ohuroh will ever adhere to and follow this time honoured tradi tion, and also. If continuing to adhere to it. It la possible for the church to stand.—l am. &o, A.

Te Whiti informed Wi Farata that he did not understand the reason of his removal to Christcburcb, and did not know whether it was life or death (meaning liberty or confinement). He also stated that he was aesir.ous that the other chiefs imprisoned at New Plymouth should be sent to Chriutclnuch with him, as it was through him tbat they had lit on arrested.

FENDING DIVORCE SUIT.

The Divorce Court, at its next sittings, ia likely to he occupied with a suit of con. sidcrablo local interest, inasmuch aa both tbe respondent and co-respondent live in thia city, while the latter is also1 an official of some r<iuk, It is now some time since the initiatory legal proceedings were taken, and as more than one legal difficulty has had to bo gnr* mounted by the petitioner, the matter proceeds but slowly through the stages preliminary to the trial. The parties to the action are Charles Evans, of Nelson, (petitioner), Annie Evans, his wife (respon dent), and William Craven Mirfin, Inspec tor in the Public Works Department, Auckland (co-respondent.) In the petition it is alleged that Charles Evans in 1866, at Kaikoura, married the respondent, then Annie Palmer, and that tbe fruits of the marriage were six children, whose ages now range from 14 to 2 years,.that Evans kept a hotel at Kaikoura, and that, it was while boarding at this hotel that Mirfin and Mrs Evans first came into improper intercourse. The petitioner also avers tbat since tbe 26th' April,-1881, the co-retpon dent and respondent have been co-habiting together'in Auckland, and he therefore prays for the dissolution of his marriage en the grounds of adultery and -desertion,; and farther seeks to recover £1,(300 damages and tbe costs of tho proceeding from the co respondent, The co-respondent, in reply, files an affidavit sweariig (1) That as to the alleged adultery, if any, the petitioner con doned the same by co-habiting with the respondent after full knowledge thereof j (2) that tho petitioner connived, at the alleged adultery, if any, and supplied the respondent with money to pay her passage to Auckland in order to join the co-respondent there; (3) that ,on divers occasions since the 15th of June last the petitioner has fjeen guilty of ndujtfjry with a female' domestic servant at hip hotel at kaikoura j and (4) tbq,t the petitioner has been guilty of crnplty towards the respondent, besides deserting her. 'lhe cruelty alleged ia personal violence, the co-respondent. averring . that 00 one occasion the respondent had to flee from her husband's room in consequence of his behaviour towards her, and tbat en another occasion the co-respoudant and others had to break open the door of .the peti tioner Js bedroom, in order, to protect her ; from , "serious bodily* injury at. his hands. Mijaerg Connolly and Sons, of Wellington, have the petitioner's case in hand,'&nd. Messrs Whitaker, Kussel), and Buddie are their agents here. Appli* cation was made this morning before Mr Justice Gillies in Chambers for an order directing the co-respondent to give taller particulars respecting the domestic servant with whom he avers the petitioner has com' mitted adultery. An order was made for the supply of the alleged adulteress's name and her place of residence,

THE TIMARU DEFAULTER.

Ha Evades the Police.

A MONTH or two back, the usually quiet little town of Timara was thrown into a ■tate of intense excitement by the news that one of its leading merchants, a man named shepherd, had disappeared, and, what was worse, that £10,000 of his credi tors' money was likewise non est. The abaconder was traced to Auckland, the indignant creditors going to the expense of sending Detective Neill north to eudeavour to run him to earth. Neill had been here Borne weeks, and was unable to discover any olue that would set him on the right track. About a week ago, however, the police received a cablegram from San Francisco from a gentleman who had been a passenger by the March mail steamer, stating that Shepherd had been a fellow passenger of his, leaving the vessel at Honolulu. Mr Inspector Thomson communicated with the Hon. Colonel Reader, Commissioner of Police, the result being that Neill has been recalled to Timaru, further pursuit being no doubt deemed hopeless; or perhaps the creditors do not see the force of spending any more money on what would probably end in a wild-goose chase. Detective Neill returns south by the first steamer.

THE HARBOURS ACT.

MBETINU TO CONSIDER AMENDMENTS,

A spkcial meeting of the Auckland Harbour Board was held this afternoon, to consider the proposed amendments to the Harbours Act, 1878, adopted by the Board on the 22nd July, 1881, viz.-(l) That the Auckland Harbour Board consist of nine members, to be returned us under : Ibree members to be elected by tha ratepayers of the borough of Auckland, one member to bo elected by the ratepayers of the borough of Farnell, one member to be elected by the ratepayers of each of the highway districts of Ponsonby and Devonport, three mßmberß to be elected by the payers of dues and shipowners (as at present provided. (2) That all elections of members be held undor the provisions of the JKoßulation of Local Elections Act, 1876, (3) That the chair man be paid such amount as the Board may decide upon. There were presont —Messrs F. E. Compton (in the chair), Waddell, Thompson, Aickin, Mays, Thos. Morrin. and G, W. Owen. Mr F. B. Compton moved that clauso one be rescinded, and that the constitution remain as at present. He thought all difficulty with the city waa over.—Mr Thoa. Morrin seconded, and said if any change had been made, ho would have moved that a member be allowed to Komuera. A letter was read from the Remuera Highway Board asking that that district be allowed a member at the Board.

The application was laid on the table. The motion was put and carried. The Chairman moved the adoption of the second clause. He thought the present system of taking a show of hands was a farce. Seconded by Mr Waddoll, and adopted. Mr Waddell moved the third clause, after amending it by the insertion of ths word "annually" after "amount." It waa seconded and adopted. This concluded the business.
