CONDITIONAL IMMORTALITY.

Debate between Messrs. G. A. Brown and B. Hutson.

This debate was continued last night in the Theatre Royal, Mr E. Carr (in the nbsonce of Cr. Thompson) presiding. Tho attend ance was much larger than usual. Mr Brown opened by explaining tho dis tinct point of disagreement betweon himself and his opponent as to the composition of man, and by asking him for a defi nition of that part. of the human . entity which he called immortal. Ho also reminded' Mr Hutsou of his references to the eternal torment of. the. .wicked, and taxed him with believing in " tho eternal roasting business," notwithstanding his dis avowal of it. Mr Brown then wont on to give his interpretation of various passages, such as " absent from tho body," " present with the Lord," and tho eternal and un forgivable sin spoken of in the 12th chapter of Matthew, besides shewing that Paul's teaching did not favour the doctrine of an immortality apart from Christ. Ho said that Mr Hutson had about 15 passages in tho New Testament, and ono or two in tho Old Testament that might be termed in ferential passages, but he himself guaranteed to produce nearly 1,000 passages of Scrip ture telling of man's nature, man's mortal ity, and man's destruction in death, against thoso other 15. He asked whether it were moro reasonahle to ask him to hannon monise the 1,000 with the 15 or tho 15 with the 1,000, and tho latter he was pre pared to do.. Ho defied any man in Auckland, however, to harmonise tho 1,000 with the 15. Mr Brown then went on to deal with Matthew 10—28, substituting the word "gehenna"for "hell." Mr Hutson quoted from "Tho Confession of Faith" to indicate the character of his belief as to the punishment of the wicked, which ho held to be " an everlasting separa tion from the comfortable presence of God." He also cited Christ's declaration about those who go down to hell, "whore their worm dietii not, and the fire is not quenched." He denied that Mr Brown had found out any inconsistency in his remarks upon this subject of eternal punishment, and he held that, whereas the Ere that was rained down upon tho people of Sodom and Gomorrah had no power over their immortal souls, neither would an " eternal roasting." In asking him to define this immortal part of man, Mr Brown might just as well ask him to define God, man, or self. They bafiled our comprehension, but we knew that the existed. Mr Brown had told them on the previous night that the physical part of man was the better man—the moro important part of him. Consequently, as a sheep woighod about oOlbs and a man about loOlbs, a man was worth three sheep, but having taken the trouble at Helensville to ascertain that a whtilc weighed 200 or 300 tons, he supposed that, according to Mr Brown's theory, the whole of the assembly that night was not worth one fair-sized whale. (Laughter, applause, and disapprobation.) The speaker went on to argue that the New Testament clearly established a distinction between soul and body. ..,. Mr Brown expressed surprise at the in troduction of "the whale business," and denied tbat he had afforded any cause for such a departure from the debate. He then proceeded to explain the uso of the word gehejina, and to shew that the phrase " unquenchable firo " meant nothing more nor less than a firo which could not be put out until it had consumed that which it bad seized upon. Ho denied that the adjective '' eternal" could be used in connection with either of them.

Mr Hutson argued that Christ's mission on earth was to save sinners ; to give men the power to do good, and to found here

His spiritual kingdom, which was Chris tianity, over which ho would yet como to reign.

The succeeding speeches had reference to the new life, Christ's second coming and the Judgment, Mr Brown holding that Christ's kingdom was a material one to be estab lished on this earth, and Mr Hutson giving the promises on this head a spiritual appli cation.

The debate will conclude to-night.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The weekly meeting took place this after noon, there being present: — Messrs Laishley (Chairman), Goldie, Buckland, Luke. Chairman's Report.—This report stated inter alia: (1) That Mr Boler had been sent to Bereaf ord-street temporarily, and that Miss M. J. Albely, from Greerton, had been sent temporarily to Ponsonby School ; (2) that attention of Newton Committee had been called to cleaning of East and West Schools ; (3) that leave of absence had been granted Mr Worthington, Wellesley-street,' till end of menth, on account of illness '■ (4) that exemptions iv respect of the Traiuing Classes had been granted to Miss Jen-am (Wellesley-street School), Mrs Simpson (Ponsonby), and Miss Kate Colebrook (New market) ; (5) that the Michaelmas holidays had been advertised to take place during the last week in September. Alleged Inebriety ok a'_ Teacher.— Re the charges preferred against Mr Brown (seconel assistant master in Wellesley-.streot school), by Mr Worthington, Heatl-master, tho Committco reported that, after taking "such evidence as was deemed sufficient, it was of opinion "that Mr Worthingten was fully justified in desiring the removal of' Mr Brown," and they therefore requosted the Board to remove Mr Brown. It recommended the Boarel to placo Mr Brown at some other school. In reply to this the Secretary had wrttteu asking whether the statement "that Mr Worth ington was fully justified in desiring the re moval of Mr Brown," was to bo interpreted to mean "that all or any of the specific charges laitl by the Head-master against Mr Brown wore deemed to be proved to the satisfaction of tho Committee." A further letter from the Committee stated that Mr Brown had acknowledged that on Tuesday evening, in company with some friends, he drank more than he ocjjht, whoroupon Mr Worthineton had withdrawn othor charges. It then pro ceeded : "The Committco considor that Mr Brown wns suffering from the ef—ots of liquor taken tho night previously, that such, together with the certainly unbecoming conduct of some of tbo boys, so irritated him that he was not master of his words or actions, and during that time said or did certain things that havo served to dissover tho bond of confidence between himself and the head-master. Therefore his removal is recommended."—The Chairman stated that Mr Brown hod boon sent to Wellesley-street School from Ponsonby, because of current suspicions of' drinking habits, and that the Insdeetor at the time told him of this reason, and warned him not to afforel cause of verifying ihcni. —Mr Goldie seid that ho understood Mr Brown was a total abstainer 1 until ho was sent to Ohaupo, whore he had to lodgo at a public house. This, perhaps, was not the only instance of teachers falling under the curso of intem_>oraiice under such circum stances. Tho Board should pay greater attention to tho housing of thoir teachers.— It was resolved, on the motion of the Chair man, "That tho Board having read the ohargos in this case, anil also tho reports of tho Committee, aro satisfied that Mr Brown has been guilty of gross misbehaviour, and therefore dismiss him from the employment c f tho Board, and tbat Mr Brown be paid his salary up to 31st August last." Girls' High School. —It was resolve to re-lease for a term of three years, at a rental of £300 per annum, tho building at present used for tlie purposes of tho Girls' High School.
