system. Nothing made a church uso its I muscles co well as to strip out from under iis arms the cruiches of State patronage. '1 ho; alternative put before tbe cburch or ganisation m a morica was "sluk or.wim," and every church that had life in it learned to swim, and the churches that had no life in them bad, perforce, to sink, it had been remarked ihat tbe American churches were more orthodox than these supported by the State. It ought to be ao too, for or thodoxy paid- tbe _e_t,and heterodoxy.went to the wall, The believers in condi tional immortality should go out from the churches hero and form a body of their own, as did tlio Unitarians and Universalists ol the United State., and if thiy did that, reports of their progress would soon come. In such bodies iheie was a lack of that earnest Christian cba rac er and aggressive spirit which wero so essential to progress, ond consequently they gradually declined. This fact accounted for the decadeuce of Unitirianism nnd Uni vcr.alisai ili the United States. One of the most. .Striking .D_.tioD.il signs of the times was the concentration of our population' in cities. 'He had seen about fourteen of our cities and tbey contained about one-third of the entire popu'ation of Australia and Tas mania, while one-fourth of the population of Victoria was gathered into its principal town. Under uuiv.rsal suffrage the man agement of our great cities was very diffi cult. In the country districts of America it had beeu found to work easily enough, for the population was settled and pure. In the towii. it Was different, and, besides, there was always an iuflowing stream from foreign sources, which tended to keep things io a kind of ferment. '1 he style of things that prevailed, and Ihe charges of corruption that were freely made, could be at once recognised in the tone of the Ameri can newspapers, With the extension of the power elf uuiveral suffrage to the manage ment of citiss there V/as a danger of things being turned into a stats of chaos, but Americans were believers in both universal suffrage and uuivcrsal education, and .they relied upon the moral power of the Church as being omnipresent to withstand the chaotic tendency of the managemeuttowbich he bad referred. At the opening of (the century, only one twenty-fifth of the popu-. lation of the United States lived in cities, and now fully one-fifth was gathered in these centres. 'I his growth waa largely due to the miiltiplication of the means of com munication, by m'eaiiß of increased tele graphic, railway, and postal facilities. The producers and consumers were being brought into closer contact with one another, and the class of middle-men was being dis pensed with ; thence these cities grew milcll more rapidly tban tho rest of tlie countiy in wbich they were situated. He be lievedour Australian towns would be largely interested, and instrumental in solving the' problem which he had indicated. In Aus tralia however, they were beset with a peculiar difficulty. In England and America, one of the principal sources of purity and conoteraction to tho ultra democratic tendencies, was the constant influx of population from tbe rural districts, but the and character of a great portion ot the interior of Australia le-tuctecl her chances of safety from similar sources. The population would ceutre round the river courses and at tho sea-parts, while very much of the interior would be but thinly peopled, Still he had hopes that Australia would ment the difficulty and find a solution of it, in which case she would be able to set an examp'e which England might follow with profit. It did not do for Americans to say that either England or "Scotland should be Americanised, asufl'ence would bo taken at it; but he hoped that they would be Austrilianised, or New /.ealandiied, which meant the same thing, Church members were the only aristocracy left iv America, and as we had no landed ariitocracy here, no. hereditary House or special governing class, he hoped tbat the Church would take a similar lead in our altos, and show a similar aggressive spirit. By church met-oers ho aid not mean merely those who were nominally styled ao, but those who had taken upon them selves the vows of Christ. They had found out ia America tbat if tbe sopaiati.n of Church and State prevented the State from governing the Church, it did not pre vent the Church from governing the Mate, and this was the task tbey bad taken upon themselves. 110 looked iuto the future centuries and saw a crescent of population having its points at Adelaide and Port Dar win and its greatest thickness at Sydney and Melbourne} and near this crescent two stars—one of the first magnitude (New Zealand), and another of the second m.goi« tude (Tasmania); besides uthcr stars, rep resenting tho Fijis and other colonies yet to be added to the constellation of the British crescent. We were rcsponsibl- for the life in this crescent, and to some ex'ent for (he future of the raco that would live in it. These col.ni.s contained the germs of great possibilities. Canada had secured a con federation of the colonies which surrounded her, and thero was now talk of attempting a similar thing at the Cape. Canada, however, could not contain 100,000,000 of people below tbo snow line, and he did not think the Capo settlements, no matter how far they were extended to the north, would be able to hold the popu lation tbat the Australian Colonies would maintain. Here, and hero only, in the Briti*h Empire, could we make comfortablo piovision for 100,000,000 of people, and a large proportion of these would gather in the cities; and the problem of which be had spoken would be rendered impossible of solution unless every church displayed its utmost energy, and every man showed him self conscious that while he enjoyed the blessings of universal suflragc he was also a citizen of a universal theocracy. As one of God's servants, ie was his duty to watch orcr every con cern of the State, Mr Cook proceeded to spesk.of his visit to "Chiia, Japan, and India, remarking upon tbo wonderful pro gross that Japan had made within tbe last 25 j car?, pointing out the great possibilities that lay boforo that country, and China and India, and expressing his opinion that we would be largely instrumental in shaping their future, and assisting in their enlight enment, If wo did not take care, Japan would take tbe whole of the manufacturing trade of Asia into her own bands, while if tho Chinese, instead of craving their necks around to look at the past, peered more closely into the future, who could say wbat tremenduous results might not follow ? India was a country which we could only colonise at the slopes of the Himalayas and in the pro vinces to the. north of the Ganges, The native population was largely increasing, and we would continue to govern them until they were able to govern themselves, which would be about one hundred years hence, Everything pointed to the forma tion of a great confederation in these seas, and to another at the Cape, and these, with the United States, and British North America, would form a mighty quadrilater al, standing in the forefront of Christian civilisation, and from whence the doctrines of Christianity would bo propagated on all hands. If wc made a success of tho present methods of govern ment, which were something freer than those ot Britain, England would imitate us and adapt hers to them. By and by, when she had becomo Australianised and New Zealaudised (that is Americanised) the way would be laid for her becoming Australianisb and New Zca landish to a much larger degree. Then, too, we might hope for an international law of parents and copyrights, both of which wero much needed. At present the Americans, he believed, wero most to blame in the copyright of cooks, but we made up for it in availing ourselves of the cheap patents. These Knglish-speakins; countries also would bo enabled by their power and and authority to compel the substitution of arbitration for war in the settlement of in ternational disputes, and the time would come, very shortly, lie hoped, when Aus tralia, tho United States, and England would guarantee tho neutrality of the whole Pacific. Ocean. England tc-day guaranteed the neutrality of tbe Suez Canal and America meant to guarantee the neu trality of the Panama Canal. Ho would now make a transition to the cosmopolitan signs of the times, One 'of them was the growino" confederation of Christians. The British Empire was great, the German Empire was great, the French Bepublie was great, and the American world was also great, but the Christian world was greater still, and he hoped that it would bo so morally federated as to be, substantially aud politically, one. Another possibility of the future was that of a political alliance with England for the purpose of settling international differences by means of arbitration. Between those two countries the system had now been adopted, and within the last fouiteen years four cases had been settled in that way. Out of this might spring a Christian alliance for tho same porposo oa a more ex tended scale, It was high time ihat Christians took action in that direction. Bright bad lately affirmed the principle in the discussion on the Egyptian trouble. Mr Gladstone had admitted its general efficacy, but denied its application to the settlement of the affairs of -Egypt. He had often been asked if there was not a 'great deal of infidelity in the world. Cheap printing was now universal iv the world, *■

and as a natural result there was a gfeflt . deal of cheap thinking. Small philosophers , were very numerous in. this age. Multi-) tudes of peoplo wero being carried from no culture to baif-culture, and he hoped that they would be carried up still higher. Thee was a spirit of .pecuiatiou and enquiry abroad, but thero was no, reason to feel alarmed at this, and people now were indispo.-cd to take on faiik answers to puzzling questions. There was no reason to feel alarmed at this eager enquiry, but much reason for satisfaction tbat it had been awakened at last. Let us not be, disturbed by tlie diseases of the childhood of peoples ; there -was a teething of centuries, as well as of babes. In the .American colleges the [ students of first, second, third, and fourth 'years were clas.-ified as "freshmen,"'•so phomocs," "juniors," and seniors." It was characteristic of the sophomore that he laid claim to knowing more tban aoy of the others. There were more philosophers in Massachusetts than in any other part of America, but it was to be recollected that many other btrtcs bad not yet gone to school. HO bad' found that it w.s this . transitional state from ignorance to knowledge {bat accounted miUSh for the sO-called infidelity of our time. He believed that Christianity was now beset with a less determined in6delity on the part of tcholars tban in many a pre vious age. He asked them to compare with the opposition which Christianity had met with at the time of the great Roman Empire from its Paganism, and at the time of the French Revolution from men of high learn ing, and they would see how|much stronger its position was to-.ay than,thcn, and how much feebler its assailants. Agn at deal of tbe vulgar infidelity of the day main tained it.elf by its vulgarity snd audacity ; and, to prove now little it.was to be feared, they had only to make a comparison between the relative strength of Chii.tian ity and infidelity, Suppose he measured off upon tbe table before him five bands' breadth of space, to represent the first fifteen centuries of Christianity, in which one hundred millions of adherents were got;' and suppose three hand breadths additional represented the three centuries which have elripSid since the Information era, in which oflC hundred millions have been gained; then, witbir. the space that remained, viz. ; tbe 82 year, passvd away since the beginning or this century, able statisticians had computed that fully two hundred more millions had been added to the ranks of Christianity; so that there were 410,000,000 of Christians On tbe eaitb at the present time, and that within the last 82 years moro Christians bad joined than during the whole of the eighteen centuries preceding, He had collected bis information from various authorities-some English, some French, and some German, but all of great l'Cli* ability. These facts were set forth at greater length and in a very convincing way b'y.f-ofSssar DoTchester in his book, " The Problem of Ckristku Progress." be did noi mean by the terffl "Christian" merely those who styled themselves sup porters of particular churches, but men and women who wero ready to come forward at any time and take part in the Communion Service, These facts were extraor.iaa'y, and he brought tbem forward so as to point out how powerful Christianity was. and how insignificant were the infidels who assailed it. At iho opening of thia century there were only fifty different translations of the Bible, and frcw it could bs read in 303 languages. At the opening of tho century, too, £150,000 waa the total sum expended in missions,' and now £17,000,000 was spent in thatway-a small sum comparatively, but «ne tbat showed an enormous increase in so abort a period. There were now CO many copies of tbe Bible in circulation that it was computed that there was one for every 10 inhabitants of the world.- Fully 1,000,000 converts from otlmr religions had been made. Mow, they would hardly believe ' it, but it was nevertheless tree, that Christian Churcbes were sprin_in_» up in all directions in India, China, and Japan; and so far as the circulationof the Bible was con-: cerncd, it was quite within tbe power of the Christian Church to bring a knowledge ' of the written and spoken Word to every in-, habitant of this planet beforo the end of i this century, Talk loudly, as people might, i of the cheap printing and the current in fidelity, it was an fact that Christianity is now more powerful to cope with its infidel assailants than it had ever been eitber ia Hume's or in Voltaire's lime, or in fact any time within 1800 years of existence. The opposition it met with now was puny and insignificant compared with what it had successfully withstood in its infancy. Long sinco it had met, one by one, the giants of the opposi tion, and bad signally overcome tbem, It was only a babe, so to speak, when it took the powerful Roman _-_iipire by the neck and throttled it, and eince thou it had met and triumphed over the infidelity of the French JKevolution. It was too late in the day ior its opponents to hope to ov.rthow it. Xhe two things were k.own by their effects, and that was the surest safeguard of Christianity. It worked well and infidelity worked ilk Poople might enquire, " Who Eowcd the seed which had produced such a rich harvest . When was it sown ? Whore t under what conditions, and what were the peculiarities of the grain." The answer to these were the external evidences, but its internal evidences were much more impor tant. The sensible method of trying a loaf thus derived, was not to examine it, but to eat it, and if a similar method were pur sued with Christianity none wonld ever have reason to fear the results. He had no fear of contradiction in asserting that wherever it had beeu adopted in its purity by a people, it had raised their tone, p rfec'ed thoir moral education, strengthened the |«iad_and ad vanced- the nation. Winn taken un diluted into the lips it had conduced to vigour of mind, stalwartneßS of moral power, aad purity of life. These wete ' broad and familiar facts. They might be common-place things, and this common place fact might be trite bnt it was was collo-sal. He asked them to look at the religions systems of the East, observe the results, and com pare them with Christianity. From Mabometanism had broken ont the nlcers of polygamy. -The teachings of Confucius had left a nation stunted, and the Buddhist religion had produced a nation paralysed in a state of prolonged childhood. There was no need to recite the contrary results of Christianity—-they presented themselves on every hand. Day by day its historical evidences were becoming clearer and more certain. De Wette, one of tho, most uncompromising investigators of Christian evidences, had been obliged to admit that whatever mystery was connected with the manner of the resurrection, the fact of the : resurrection could no moro be doubted than the assassination of Csesar. Over this ad mission Neander, tbe Church historian.had ! shed tears of joy. Strauss's theories were I thought to be very clever, and very damag ing at the time of their promulgation, but were now worn out and thrown aside as baseless in the light ot tho deeper research 1 that had been made sinco his time. They had been proved to be myths, and Strauss had died admitting that his theories had been buried before him. The internal and external evidences of Christianity were as the two sides of an arch, the keystone of which was the life and character of our Lord. There he took bis 1 stand, and the acutestphilosophers of every age, the most powerful opponents that bad ever appeared to challenge Christianity, bad been quite unable to shake or impair the solid sttucturc. Christianity had clone bat tle again and again, bnt it had never seen defeat, and puny adversaries of to-day were hardly likely to do it any harm. They possessed very few men of great learning in their ranks, and the movements with which they connected themselves preolaimed their real character. In England, their two most prominent leaders had beea indicted and imprisoned for seeking to corrupt the morals of the community by the publication of an infamous book, and others had been detected in their endeavours to circulate it wholesale by means of the post office. One of their means of disseminating the filthy stuff was to obtain lists of names of people at ladies'seminaries, and to post copies to the inmates. The consequence of this waa that the Principal of the best of these establishments bad attempted to counteract the evil by studiously abstaining from pub lishing any lists of their pupils. These facts were known to be (he had no wish to conceal names.) Mr Henry F. Durant, one of tho foremost lawjers ot Boston, founded there a great school for young ladies, and he had told him, with great earnestness in his intonation, that that was the only reason why ho would not permit any book to appear with the names of his pupils in it. Not long ago the leader of tho _. ew York infidels, the editor of a scurrilous and filthy rag issued in their interest, which few peoplo ever read, had been sent to gaol on 1 account of its disgusting character. Respectable people did not kuow anything about the organ, but in his search after the religious signs of the times, ho had been obliged to look for them both above and under the ground, and sometimes he c_me across a reptile such as this, and lifted it up to look into its fangs. Iho man to whom ■hehad. referred, ..o being liberated from

I . .'"ft '. j gaol, had been lionised by his follower*" j and it was a significant, indication of u,i. I manner in which he was regarded by the j better portion cf tbo community, thai geribner's, in giving a biographical notice of him, bad placed it und«» Ihe designation of tho apotheosis of (liit. The Theosophi.t Society m Bombay had tho tried to lionise him, but without effect, and iho man had como to one of his (Mr Cook's) lectures with a horsewhip under his coat, but he did not use it; It was a notorious tact that thocir. culatian of these infamous works was part of the infidel propaganda, and he had acta, ally seen a petition addressed to th. authorities for permission to send the boolca through the Post-office, and at'the head of it he had noticed the name of Colonel Ingersoll, the famous agitato.'. The MU tion was" returned to those who dgned it with the intimation that its prayer ewdd nol be granted^ as tbe American Post, office had not been established for infamouspurposes. Ingersoll had'attempt-,. to excuse himself by alleging that ho had signed the petition in ignorance of its con tents, a_d it is surely a pity that the poor ' simple man had been so easily misled, Jfy had now withdrawn from the propaganda ; There was no really learned infidel in ' America) at the present time, and infidelity was lookid upon with contempt and disdain. ' dam. It Was vulgar, and it was only i% . audacity t.at rendered it noticeable at oil Unitarianism aud Universaliem, to©i were .'steadily declining, and the churches tbat still existed were offiecred by old men, who | had no prospect of tb*lr places being __U(^ up by you Dger successors trained for the work, Theodore Parker was 'the beet preacher the^ had produced, but he was not read now at all in' America^ the bast proof of that beiug that there was not a sinele collected copy of his work's in that country He had asked a Boston publisher the reason! ' and was told that there was not a single shilling to be made out of them, there was ', no demand for them. That was a financial ' aid riot a theological fact, The theo_op_i...t» of India, however, had canonised him and called him St. Theodore; bnt in America his only title to popularity lay ia j the fact that he had interested himself in j the abolition of slavery. Even Emeroon changed his id' as ; and duriag the last 15 | years of his life he insisted upon being called i. Christian Tbeist, begging that in any refer ence to his faith the designation " Christian" should net be omitted, as that meant everything. All the great literary, scholarly men of America Were conspicuous for their piety. Longfellow called himself a Con servative Unitarian, and was a man ol profoundly devout character, bnt the Uni tarians Sever claimed him. He was too evangelical for tbem. Whittier, too, was a devout Quaker, and Bryant was a man whose Christian principles were well known. Learned infidelity was becoming weaker and weaker. 50 or 00 years ago it was asserted, with confidence, on the authority of Frederick Strauss, that not ono of the epistles could be shown to havo been written earlier than the year 180 A.D., while the synoptical Gospels were of a much more apocryphal cha tecten They now retted upon a much surer historical basis. .Strauss's mythical theories were now buried in oblivion,'dad Scriptural research had led to the recogni tion of the fact that four of Paul's _-pintles must have bad th.ir existence within the year 60 A.D. ; and as the crucifixion was fixed to have taken place either in 32 A.D, ot 34 A.D, (most possibly the latter date), there was only a lapse of some twenty-aix y Cars to"account for. Jciusalem was taken by Titus in A.D. 70, and Wero, under whom Paul B-ffei-d martyrdom, died in A.D. 68. so that his epistles must have been written prior to that year. BaueryKenan, and others of the highest authorities, admitted that these epistles must have been written before 60, and they believed that at least the Epistle to the Galatians had been written as early as ... Now, in thai epistle, Paul referred to other Gospels having been in circulation fourteen years; previously when he visited|Jerusalcm, and adding to th s fourteen the three year, tbat we know he passed in Arabia, wc bad seventeen years to deduct from fitty-fonr, thus giviDg the year 37 as the probable dato on which they were written, er just three years after the crucifixion. Be did not admit a doubt as to the author. j ticity of the synoptical Gospels—not oven John's, and tbe |evidence in.favour of the miracles, and of the resurrection, was con vincing to any well-balanced mind. Paul himself said that there were 250 people living in his time who had witnessed the resurrection, and surely such a statement as that, if untrue, would not have gone unchallenged in the country where the event occurred, among the people who were cognisant of it, and in the age of Livy and Tacitus, Learned infidelity was disappearing, and within the last few yean there had been a great revulsion of feeling, both ia Germany and in England, in favoni 'of evangelical Christianity. In Germany, espeoiallly, wheie metaphysical studies had always been popular, and where Bationalism had been rampant until lat el v, the chango in thought and feeling was particularly conspicuous. In all il loading universities, tbe yonng student! were giving their patronage by preference to c.a-gclical professors, as opposed.to the rationalistic ones, iv tbe proportion oi ' ten to one, In the University of Heidel berg recently, there were seven rational istic professors for seven students—a most notable diminution. It was the same ir all the other Universities. Everywhere, the evangelical professors bad hundreds of students, and the rationalistic ones few, In Berlin University there were from three to fonr hundred evangelical stndents, and in Leipsic from four hundred to five hundred. This was convincing testimony to the ac celerated progress of Christiaaity in these days, and to the certainty with which the authority of the Bible was being estab lished. 'Ihe rev. gentleman concluded with a reference to the remarkable series of prophecies which run through the Old Testament, and to the undoubted mannci in which they hadbeenfulfilled. Ithadbeen predicted, he said, that the whole, eartli should be filled with the glory of God, and he called upon them to give thanks that this time was fast approaching at last. The lecturer resnmed his seat amidst« perfect storm of enthusiastic applause.

It la a well known faot that tho profits arißlng from tho purchase and Bale of natlvo lands in tho North Island are onarmcu-, and It Is equally woll known that suoh profits havo up te tho present timo been confined to tho capitalist alone; boca.u-0 of tha many obstructions arising from the laws reUtlng to native lands, and to tho largo expenditure ot monoy required tor purchasing the samo. The Auckland Natlvo Lnnds Colonisation Com pany (Limited) prca.nta to Bmall Investors sd vai>tages Uent'oil with, nnd in _xcpb3 of those enjoyed at present only by capitalists, tho shares having been fixed so low tbat mon of small means may bo placed on the same footing as the oapltalist. No moro itttln , opportunity than the present could bo solzod for tho purpose of attaining the objeot. aimed at by this company, beoause :— Ist.—Tho quantity of fortllo Crown Lands In tho North Island at tho present timo available for settlement is Insufficient to meet tho demand. 2nd.—Tho Govornm.nt have roused opera tions in purchasing native land.. Brd.—Tho natives owning land ln thoKlrg country aro almost unanimous la their desiro to bring their valuable lands undor the operation of tho Land Court, and dispose ot them to Kuropet-ns, Ith.—lt la oonfldontly anticipated tbat the Government will favour the establlsh | ment of this Company, which will go far to relieve them from all anxloty about providing for the future wants of tha natives. This Company will plaoe all land acquired undor "The Lands Transfer Aot," so that the tlt-lo will be lndoionstblo. and it will then be oblo ta dispose cf the same at great advan tage 'iho land will be sold for cash, or on deferred payments, or disposed of in the manner most conducive to tho interests of shareholders. Under these clroum-ta-ces, It Is believed that the establishment ot tho Ano.land Natlvo Lands Colonisation Company (Limited) will provide for the natives the readiest aud most fceneflclal method of placing their Janda for stile, leaso, or settlement. The over-Increasing demand for lands! In New Zealand ama-gst all clasnes of oolonlßts and intending emigranta from Great Britain, the rloh quality of the lands in the King oauotry, the fact that they nr. wttbln easy acceas by rail trom Auckland, tltelr auit abillty for occupation, and their aununlly inoreaslng value, are considerations which present to Investors a prospect of remuneration unequalled probably by any proposal evor sub mitted to the public. .
