THE ItEV. G. B. MONRO IN REPLY.

(To tho Editor.)

Sib,—Your reports of my lectures on " The Church Censua " and '' Tha Pulpit and its Rela lion to Scepticism," were on tlio whole fair and correct, and I had no intention of writing you regarding a few slight inaccuracies, had not tlio letters of correspondents made such abso lutely necesiary. Fortunately, I have the MSS. of my lectures beside me, and am, therefore, in a position to give an accurate statement of what I did say on the points which seem to have given great offence in certain quarters. Anyone acquainted with the difficulty of condensing a lecture, can under stand how a reporter, unacquainted with a speaker's style, might unconsciously give a wrong, or at least an imperfect interpretation of an argument, and this is doubtless the explanation of the trifling inaccuracies which your correspondents have so eagerly caught at and magnified. In your report of the various causes I brought forward as a possible explana tion ot the non-churoh-eoing in the community at large, I find the following sentence: " Most people saw that being drunk on Saturday night was incompatible -with going to church on Sun day And he believed that in nine coses out of every ten the lying inbed,&c, were the result of intemperance." The majority of your corres pondents have interpreted this as referring to Eemuera in particuljr,and have justly upbraided mo with rashness in singling out a district free from a public-house as being so intemperate and degraded. You will give me credit for being fairly acquainted with the district, both socially and morally, and will not be surprised to hear that such a statement, had I made it. would have been justly characterised as false md misleading. I am not called upon at present to compare Bemuera with any other district as regards Temperance, but I have no hesitation in saying that tlrunkennes3 is far from a prominent vice. The following are the exact words used in my lecture:-"If any one questions that intpmpcr ance has much todo with non-church-going, let him visit in some of the localities not far from this church, and he will find that poverty has ■nothing to do with it. except in those cases where drink has been the cause. He will, lam cersnaded, in nine cases put of ten find that the indulgence in drink during tnepreced- IW evening has h»d everything to do with the lying in bed, etc, Youi; correspondent sign ing himself "A. Campbell,' seems to have felt vary much annoyed at my references to igno rant scepticism. In his letter of Wednesday, At>ril 19 he Bays:—"Where MrMonro applies ' the words, 'superficial study'in connection with th« books ol Colenso, Darwin, and Paine, ho surely must mean that the works of these authois are superficial", &c If he looks into your report with a little more carefulness, he willfiaSthat I said, "a number of men had read books of Colenso, Darwin, or Tom Paine and from such superficial study they determine tn irive up rtligion and churches as old fashioned." lam as ready as Mr Campbell to koknowledge that the works ot Colenso, and narwin are profound aud exhaustive, and never would state anything to the contrary, and tienoe in my remarks on scepticism as a eanse for non-churoh-going, I simply referred to the •' HiiDerficial study" of such writers, by men who considered themselves qualified in scoffing •it ralleion. From the apparent frankness and honesty of Mr Campbell* letters, I fancy that i:JI .—jri not deny that anyone ignorant of the ifvjaences of Christianity, and unacquainted with the facts of the Bible, is not justified in «Avocating Boeptieal views. The man who t,, k-i-a ut> the position of denying this and that In eoimection with the Christian religion, must Tiare carefully and minutely investigated all * that can be said on the Obristfin side, but when men acknowledge, as Dr. Johnson fikva Hume did, that they have never con- Voientiously examined the Scriptures, are we uncharitable and intolerant when we say that such a "superficial acquaintance" with Christianity ought to silence an honest man and keeD him trom ridicule at the expoose of re- ÜBimi ? Mi Campbell, in his letter olWednes day April, 26, feels very much aggrieved that I sbotiKl have made any reference to the life of Thomas Payne in my lecture on "The Pulpit and ito Relation to Scepticism," and cer tainly I had no intention of doing so, had he pot Till h*B former letter, argued as if I had made an onslaught upon the moral character of this Champion of Infidelity. One or'two of my hearers haying drawn my attention to this point, and asked my opinion upon the life of tie man \vbo*e writings I was so earnestly urged by Mr Campbell to read and discuss in the pulpit, I felt it my duty to> point out, in a sentence or two, what was the character of the man so much admired. I was not a little surr prised to find Mr Campbell trying to palliate the character of Paine, and to question Flio facts mentioned about his death. I was always under the impression that respectable •oeptics -were ashamel of Paine, and ware TiJ wlI1Jng t'J class him as one' of themselves. fnJ; IS*ij mentioned by me on Sabbath even ft*y? n jaro taken from "Cheethain's Life of ,■ ■ y4SeSMKK pa Quoted by Bishop Mollvaine. hi his Vidences of Christianity." and s« far as I V 6 read, »they have never been questioned /'«mL,oßo^ fe ,a, Position to do so.

ALLEGED ABSCONDING.

A REPORT wan current about town to-day to the effect that a well-known builder, who has been concerned in several large con tracts lately, is " non est," and that anxious enquiries as to his whereabouts are being made. He is said to have "let in" tho Auckland Timber Company to & consider able amount, and Mr Blakey, the plasterer, is also stated to be mourning the hasty de parture of the alleged lev&nter. It is rather premature yet to.t divulge names or give particulars, bat if the rumour be true the public will soon be in possession of the necessary information. The matter has caused quite a mild sensation amongst the fraternity of contractors.

THAMES, this day.

The Kurrnui Company retorted the amal gam on hand this morning for tbe magnifi cent return of 1,034 ounces retorted gold. flushing is still proceeding, and will not be completed until Tuesday, when an additional 100 ounces are expected.

The Moanataiaii will clean up late this afternoon. A fair return is anticipated.

Telephonic communication with Turua was successfully opened up yesterday. Telephones uniting Thames and Uhinemuri stations were replaced this morning by telegraphic instrument, the business trans acted on the new line having been found sufficient to warrant the alteration.

Bone Werahike, the Te Arobaprospector, will attend tbe King meeting at Whate. whatehoe, on Monday, to obtain from T;i whaio an agreement, permitting him to pros pect the King Country, the dusky monarch having signified his willingness to concede such permission for his own part, and use his influence to induce the chiefs to do like- Wise

The limit age stated la the regulations, by the way, is 17, not 15. Now. aii, does It not appear too much to expect a ohill under 13 to understand French's "Study of Words" and " Knulish.

WATER SUPPLY FOR PARNELL.

(To tho Editor.)

Sm,—lhavenotioed in yeste'day's issue of the Star, a report of the publio meeting of the rate payers of Parnell, convened for the purpose of taking into consideration the water supply and drainage schemo for the borough of Parnell. During the process of trying to find the exact quantity of water obtainable at Mr Seccombo's, I was employed by Messrs Boylan and Lundon as watchman and timekeeper. From my own obse- vation and knowledge, I have no hesitation in bearing up Mr BoylarPs own assertion that "Tho experiment was sufficient to prove absolutely that there was enough water there to supply the whole of the borough—each inhabit ant a: the rate of 20 gallons a day for the next ten years." I think Mr Boylan might have gone further, and added for a much more indefinite period. The fact was obvious to any one present during the experiment that the supply of water which Mr SeccomDO has the good fortune to possess, may be Bafely said to Be almost inexhaustible. It is of the purest kind, and in the hottest weather loses nothing of its coolness. A powerfull pump, worked by great steam pressure, was kept in motion during the time stated, which effected the pumping of the great quantity of 90 000. gallons per diem. Of course the engineer is the only criterion in the matter, and his opinion is to be the most relied upon. But It cannot, howover, bo called in question that the ratepayers of Parnell have, by their own vote, put a stop to a scheme which must necessarily, in the long run, have been of incal culable benefit to them-a fgood supply of the beat spring water. I grant that it is tho first and Daramount duty of the governing element of a city or country to try to keep down excessive or exorbitant taxation, but takinginto account the quality and quantity of water which Mr seccombo guaranteed to supply to the borough at a moderate charge, I have no Station in affirming that the burgesses of Parnell have lost an opportunity of obtaining cood water, which they marhave difficulty in tho future to find. It cannot he palliated that in a great measure the recent great amoun of nirTrnrsa prevailing in the borOugh of Parnetf duringß tho past season may be justly ascribed to tho want of a proper supply of pure spring water, and that a recurrence of epidemics such as prevailed in ftPT & T dha« wofa of pi toinage system and a supply of pure

We are in receipt of a number of letters •■am correspondents on the question of the jr opo ß ed water supply for Parnell, which* LTorm the subject of a ballot on Monday £ aUowed at the poll, and ho consequently £k, -" How can we come to a jus decision {some people may. thus nu.Hip*-not heraselves-but the r power? He in that for nroDertv owners to sees w Se ciS two o Pr mL votes is to attempt a kind of political brigandage. Mr E. J. King denies that Fame 1 v in need of any &eh extensive, or1 costly a water supply Scheme aa would necessitate a loan ot »14,000. He also charts the Covincd^ with iina actuated by selfish motives, aUeges Stit^rm cost £28,000 to complete the Pposert scheme, and appeals to the rate "|er» to negative the project. ~&e King of Siam has 3,000 wlvoa^U life under the same roof. Whenever M "its to pass an hour or two in repose ana 1&, he steals off by himself and secrets b jilt in the royal black-smithery, where i Sibylla Bre a t work all the time.
