Annual Report.—The annual report wai read by Mr Thomas Buddie, honorary secretary. We make the following ex tract! :—The subscribers of the .association now number 119 at 20s, and 431 at 10s, waking a total of 550. Of these, subscribers to tbe reading-room alone are 38; to tho library, 327; to both reading-room and library, 152. Tho number of members is 176, of .whom' 22 have been admitted during the year. The Sunday afternoon Bible class for young men from 3 to 4 o'clock is attended by au average of from 40 to 60. Tho fust Sunday in each'month is devoted to evangelistic service for men. Only two of these Beicvices have been held, at each of which the attendance was about 150. The theatre services on Sunday evening from 8 to 9 have an attendance of from 600 to 800, by far the largest propor tion of whom are gathered from the streets. The attendance is largely composed- ot men, and most of these of young men, of whom not a few bave been brought into the membership of the association. Thanks are due to the choir for its efforts, and moro singers aire required. The ex pense of these services is met by voluntary contributions, and is no charge on the Yftnds of the association. An association prayer meeting has been regularly held on Mon day evenings, and family prayer is con ducted every morning at 9.30. The Tuesday night meeting for young men has recently taken the form of a conversational Bible class, and the attendance ia im proving, 'lhe Thursday evening meeting aud Saturday Bible reading and prayer meeting are both well attended. The library consists of 2,700 volumes, of which 108 has been added during the year. Many of the books aro sold, and if the library is to be effective in aiding the association's work, it is imperative that means be found for a large supply of new and useful books. Thanks are returned to Captain Tilly for 11 volumes, Dr. Render dine for 75, Messrs MeArthur and Co. for 5, and another friend for 2, The reading room, which is supplied with Home and colonial leading papers and magazines, is largely used by members and strangers, some hundreds of the later having availed themselves of the pri vilege.

Hil, and upwards of 5,000 were distributed without expense to the Assoc".tion.

The frequently recurring expenditure for repairs to the building and the desirability of providing" better appliances and accommodation for extending the work of the association, forced upon the committee the serious con sideration of the advisability of erecting new premises, and a plan was submitted, but it was decided to wholly defer action, and utilize the present premises as. long as possible, always keeping in view the erec tion of a new building.

THE WORK OF PRESBYTERIAN CLERGYMEN.

(To the Editor.) Sir,—l have had my attention called to a sub-leader in j our paper of yesterday re f erring to a record of the ministerial labonrs of Dr. Stewart, of Dunedin, dnring one year, and expressing the great satisfaction which you felt iv contemplating them. Very readily would I join you in giving, honour to whom it is due; nor would I withhold in the slightest measure tie meed of praise from the veteran pastor of Dnn edin, whose characteristic activities and geniality have long ago made him a household word, not only in ota^o but wherever, among Presbyterians! the widely published chronicles of Knox:.7 ohurch pastorate have been read, 1 may say, however, in passing, that as regards abundance of labours iv preaching, U pastoral visitation, tbe visitation of the sick, attention to the young, the duties of . hospitality as means would allow, snd numerous public duties, if not in the number of baptisms, marriages, and recep tion?, there are not a few ministers in onr own and other churches who are worthy of equal praise, but who, beyond their limited spheres are comparatively un known, and shrinking from the observation of chroniclers and newspaper reporters, ate often well pleased to labour on, often amid difficultie'.cheered by the mens comciahcti, the love of their people, and the hops of re ceiving the Master's " well done" at last, I ,L must add, that I greatly regret that you should have considered it necessary to con- . trast the noble portrait of Dr Stewntt, with what you are pleased to call "the sorry figure which various fathersand brethrenin other parts of tbe colony have lately been cutting." Without insisting that the ex pression "fathers" is an exaggeration of the fact, I would, in all earnestness ask you if you could find nothing "cheering" in the faithfulness of the many in the other patts of the colony, as well as in the splendid gifts of the Dunedin pastor, and silently deploring the fall of greatness, would it not be well to ceise to expose to public Raze the spots of a church, which is endeavouring humbly, and with charity, to Keep herself pure,—l am, etc, " John Macky, The Manse, Otahuhu, March 15, 1883 [We insert the above communication with the protest that we cannot.understand why, L ~ it should ever have been written. We did not assert nor imply that the Bev,,Dr. Stewart was the single exceptional instance of faithful labouring amorg Presbyterian ministers; on the contrary, his case Was cited a3 a typical one of the entire class. As we believe the Bey. Mr Macky to be above anything of the nature of personal jealousy,, and as our contrast of the worthy with the unworthy pastors was made with thespecial view of bringing the former class, to which Mr Macky belongs, into bolder relief, we fe must repeat that our correspondent's didac- 'i . tic effusion seems quite uncalled for. If we were inclined to lecture him in turn, we might ask : Could he not have done bett^Hj than insinuate that the popular pastor -." of Knox Church courts "the observa tion of chroniclers and newspaper re porters," and is not quite satisfied with the reward of the mens conscia recti, and the rest of it.—Sd.
