THE SEPARATE CONSCIOUS EXISTENCE OF THE SOUL.

» The Rev. Alex. Reid preached a sermon on Sunday night before a crowded congregation in the Pitt-street Wcsleyan Church, on the above subject stated as follows:—"Con ditional Immortality: Is the Soul of Man Distinct from his Body, and Capable of Separate Conscious Existence ?" He took as his text, Romans, Bth chap, and 10th verse : " And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness." He said he had imagined that all who believed in God believed also in the immateriality of the spirit of man — believed that he possessed a soul distinct from the body and capable of con scious separate existence ; but here there wore in our midst people who, while believing in the existence of God, challenged them, not cautiously and stealthily, but boldly and defiantly, to bring forth from the spiritual armoury their arguments, or remain under the stigma of misinterpreting tho spiritual oracles. They were slow in awakening to a sense of the gravity of the situation, but they could hardly ignore such a challenge. These Materialistic teachers were invading the fold and carryingoff many of the flock, so that it was high time to bestir themselves if they were to be re garded as true shepherds, and not as mere hirelings. It was high time to say whether or not this thing should be arrested. The people who were its exponents were accus tomed to say that if the orthodox belief in man's nature and the conscious separate existence of his soul were true, how was it that it is not so stated in the account with which we are favoured of man's creation ? Well, it was just possible that that was not one of the principal inten tions of the sacred penmen. It was just possible that God did not intend all at once to impart to man a full know ledge of his own nature, but gradually to unfold the truth on this and kindred sub jects ; and' it was also possible that man was already in possession of such a perfect knowledge on this subject, and was so satis fied respecting his spirituality and immor tality that ho had no special need for any revelation on tho subject. This he believed to be tho fact. Tho great purpose of the revelation was to unfold to us the plan of salvation through the incarnate Son of God. And yet in the earliest portions of revelation we had only the dimmest and most indistinct references to tho Great Deliverer; whereas, accord ing to the argument of their oppo nents, we ought to have a full account and a complete definitien of the work to be accomplished. In the Old Testament there was just the same reticence respecting the plan of salvation as there was parsimony of information on tho subject under consideration, and the argument used, if valid at all, would there fore equally apply to both things. But the fact was that Egyptians, Babylonians, Persianii, Greeks, and Romans, one amd all, believed In the duality of man's nature— the physical and the spiritual—and in the immortality of his spirit, so that there was no need for a revelation on the subject. Among the Israelites, through their fre quent intercourse with God, the claims of Deity were fully believed in and responded to. One of the strongest passages quoted by their opponents was that one in the book of Ecclesiastes, wherein Solomon, its reputed author, spoke of man as being on the same level as tho brute ; but this neither represented tho mind of God nor of Solomon in his happier moments. It was written under tho gloomy influence of moral, intellectual, and spiritual disease, resulting from the excesses to which he had addicted himself. In his happier moments ho had ■written otherwise. The Psalmist, too, spoko of man as "a little lower than the angels," and the Lord had also said that lie had "no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they should turn from their wickedness and live." Neither wero all tho utterances in Job to bo taken as the statements ofGod, form that bookfivemen wero wrangling over various questions, many of which wero not in harmony with tho mind of God. He pitied the brains that could bo satisfied with such pabulum for argument. Tho theory thus bolstered up was opposed, not only to the Old and Now Testaments, but to the oldest testament, viz., tho innate and current beliefs of men of all nations in all times. Coming down to Christ's time, wo found two parties amongst tho Jowe, the Pharisees and tho Sadducees — the former large and powerful, holding the belief in I man's spirituality and immortality, and the latter small and select, contending that tho soul died with tho body. If Condi tional Immortality were true, our Lord would have favoured the Sadducees ; but, on tho contrary, he steadfastly opposed them, while Paul claimed to be a Pharisee because of his belief in the spirituality arid immortality of man, and in the Judgment. This was a most conclusive argument against the modern Sadduceos, for on this point thoy held substantially tho very same tenet as tho ancient Sadduceos. The preacher then quoted tho parable of Lazarus and Dives, as showing tho separate con scious existence of the soul, and,in the same connection, referred to tho Saviour's pro mise to the penitent thief. Ho stigmatised as "a misorablo expedient" the moans re sorted to by their opponents for surmount ing this difficulty, viz., the transposition of a comma, and pointed out that it was at variance with one of tho conditions of the recent discussion, which was to abideby the Revised Version. Ho also adverted to Chritt's re-appcarancos after his cruci fixion, tho njjparent belief of His disci ples in a peparato spiritual existenco, to Paul's rapture, whereof ho was not suro whethor in or out of the body ho had been to tho third heaven, and also of Paul's desiro to depart and bo with Christ. The idea that Paul simply wanted to get rid of tho spiritual strain -the spiritual and moral 1 conflict that he had waged so long—in order to go down to a state of practical nothing ness, was a foul libel upon the most Christ like man who had ever preached the Gospel. Had this miserable theory eaten out the manliness of its believers when thoy dared to utter such an insinuation ? The sermon was concluded with an appeal to the hearers not to negloet the means of spiritual lifo, and with an exhortation for them so to live as to evidence their possession Of it.

AVONDALE LODGE N.1.0.0.F.

Moore for tho great interest ho takes in the ad vancemont of tho Order, in his capacity as District Secretary, and also in the forming of now lodges.

Tho long pending action of Robert Coopor against Goleman, Clarke, Rees, and Wi Pere eamo up again in tho Supremo Court yes terday, wlion, on tho motion of the de fendants, His Honor Mr Justice Gillies dis missed the action out of Court, with costs, for want of prosecution. Tho action, which was commenced in Dunedin so long ago as April 1881, was brought to redeem certain of his properties held by Coleman ond Clarke as mortgagees, for a claim of £28,000, and upwards, owing to them as trustees of the will of the late Captain Read, and alleged by tho plaintiff to be worth about £100,000, and purchased by Rees* and Wipere, as the plaintiff al leged, at an undervalue

CORRESPONDENCE.

■ -*• _ Snrroy Hills v. City Council. (To the Editor.) doal of "onsenso is being talked of, and I may say written about, in reference to action or non-action of the £ity Council with regard to tho Surrey 11 ills Jistate, more particularly since tho first sale has resulted advantageously, ignoring the very liberal terms which tho proprietors are enabled to oiler, but which the city authorities could not have done simply from the fact that they would have had to pay a rate of interest for the money required equal to that charged to credit purchasers, or for advances forbuilding pur poses. Apart, however, from this view, when this estate some years sincowas offered to tho city, neither the Council, the press, or tho ratepayers were heard to express opinions in favour of its acquisition, since which it has in no manner been offered; and it is hardly probable the present owners would have been prepared to negotiate- or suspend the sale unless they had obtained a guarantee for the payment of accruing interest on tho purchase money until such time as a poll of the ratepayers had been taken, a bill intro duced into Parliament authorising the pur chase, and the addition of its area to the city (for without tho latter was authorised it is very certain the Council could not deal with the matter at all). The Council have no legal power to guarantee any such moneys any more than they have to purchase or sell, unless for such objects as arc specially mentioned in the Corporations Act, and it is very certain land-dealing is not amongst their powers. Supposing Parliament con sented, and the district was added to the city after a poll of ratepayers had been taken, and a majority voted in favour of tho project, the question arises, as the Corporation cannot sell or give a title unless for certain public purposes, where was the purchase money to come from ? as the rents would be required to pay interest, and provide the funds for road-making, drainage, and water supply: unless it was proposed to do this work and raise another loan to pay for the property by another special rate on the city rate payers—a matter, I think, there would bo considerable difficulty in getting tho rate payers to endorse. Is it also desirable for the Corporation to open a land-jobbing busi ness, and bring a lot of property into the market to compete with their own unleased valuable endowments in tho same neighbour, hood ? It was pleasing to see the high price the first allotments in this estate (which may fairly be described aa the pick of this estate) have realised; but sites purchased for bankgare not always a safe criterion of value, any more than the value realised one day may necessarily be the value another. Could the object have been attained of secur ing 100 acres or more in the centre of this pro perty for park purposes, it must be admitted it would have been very desirable; and it ia to be regretted that the originalownerdid not see his way to do something in that direction for the province and city, which have been so fortunate to him; but that it is the city's duty to take up all such speculations I very much doubt. Not long since it was suggestea the Council should purchase all the land at Waitakerei, then at Western Springs. That, coupled -with Mr Firth's suggestion of a proposed square at the lower end of Queen-street, at a cost of £4,000 per annum j Grey-street improvements, £20,000 ; Emily Place, Hobson-street, &o. (not omitting Mr Ross's ideas of another square or two)—■ on the faco of having raised additional loans extending over five years, the whole of which is allocated, and will only bo a drop in the ocean of our requirements— raises tho question of whether it ia quite consistent to ask the city to adopt bo many schemes which are certainly outside their [legitimate sphere of action. With its present extended area the authorities will have all thoy can do to keep pace with requirements, and keep the streets, roads, etc., in good repair, and the water to every ratepayer's door. [I think I have clearly shown that the City Council, seeing that no offers were made to them by the present owners, exercised a wise dis cretion in not placing themselves in a false position.—Yours, &c, Old Colonial.

Sworn Testimony.

From one of the leading Wliolosaio Houses in Pitt-stroot. " Mullens-street, Balmain, Sydney, August 9, 1883. — To tho Publishers " Sydney Morning Herald."—Dear Sire,—l feel It incumbent on my part to inform you of tho great benefit I havo received from the use of St. Jacobs Oil, Soma three years ago I injured my left leg and kneo to that extent I thought I had become a permanent cripple. My knee-cap was twico its natural size, and my log was so contracted and shortened that I could not walk without considerable pain and inconvenionco. During that time I had tried remedies innumerable, but without receiving the slightest benefit until 1 gave St. Jacobs Oil a trial, and, much to my delight and astonish ment, I began to get bettor, and before the con tents of the bottle were half used, both my leg and knee assumed their normal condition, and to-day I ara entirely free from pain, and can walk as woll as ever I did in my lifo. I heartily recommend St. Jacobs Oil to any one suffering from pain, and feel satisfied it has no equal for tho cure of chronic and contracted limbs.—l remain, doar Sirs, yours faithfully, C. O.
