'Iho committee to consist of ! Mrs s Driver, Hurst, Macindrew, Mont gomeiy, Steward, J. V. Brown and J. G. VVilfon —four to form a quorum ; to report in a fortnight."

Auckland Loan Bill.

Mr Peacock, in moving the second reading of the City of Auckland Addi tional Loan Bill, said it was proposed to borrow £200,000, such borrowing to extend over a period of five years. The present indebtedness of the Corporation was £250,030, of which £29.000 for Town Hall was nit yet expended. He referred to the Council's reasons for askiug to borrow, viz., the necessity of providing additional works through the extension of the city, and pointed out that with the present population of tbe city the indebtedness per head would, wi b the new loan, but little exceed the present indebtedness per head. Out of tbe new loan it was proposed to spend £G0 000 on o!d wards, £60,000 on new wards, and £CO,OCO for water supply. He now came to the question : ' • Does the financial condition of the city warrant these exteaded borrow ing powers?" He showed that the preseut revenue of the city wa? £48,000, which was quite sufficient to meet present and pro spective loan charges, which together would amount to £27.000. Mr Hupst wa3 distressed at having to take up the position of appearing to oppose a loan for the City of Auckland. He believed the financial condition of the city wss tound, but he contended, tbat the amount sought for by the bill was absurdly large. He considered that the poll bad been taken hurriedly, which was shown by tbe small number of persons who had voted, and at Pousonby, one of the out-distiicts, for which it was stated loan was required, the majority had actually voted against it. He thought the House should refuse to assent to the borrowing of such a large sum for this year at least, or, at any rate, that the House would materially "reduce the amount required. Mr 'J'OLis strongly supported the bill, saying that all the money was required for urgent public works, and not for luxuries. Mr SBRIMSKI thought the [time had arrived when Government should come for ward ami put it* foot down on large borrow ing by local bodies. People were starved out of the town by the heavy taxation put on them. He said that the security which the city had to offer bad been already pledged, and he believed that the rates would have to be increased. Subsequently he pointed out that Uamaru had been com pelled to find a special rate. Mr Pish supported the second reading of the bill, and said that when property owners voted for borrowicg there would be strong reasons indeed for refusing to allow the borrowins. Mr Hobbs expressed surprise at the opposition offered by .Mr Huist, and said he could not have been requested by citizens to oppose it. MrDoDSON strongly supported the second reading for the reafon that if they gave Iccil bodies extended powers it was neces sary to give them large borrowing powers. Major AT»lNSi»N—("Bear, bear.") He faid that Auckland was a city with an enormous future before it—a city of which ,vcw Zealand might well be proud, and she should be afforded every facility for developing her resources. No one doubted for a minute that she could repay £250,000, and he could not understand the opposition. Mr Hutchison said if the numbers polled in favour of borrowing did not num ber one hulf of the burgesses of the city, the fundamental principle of municipal bor rowing had not, boen complied with. If, on tbe other hand, one half of the burgesses had voted in its favour, power was given under the Municipal Corporations Act to borrow.

Mr Shepherd supported the bill, though 'ift did not agrtc with giving^each._and every ap"pVi<:Unt''DtimiWfir^'powerß, without it first being tatistactorily shown that there were means with which to meet the inter est aud sinking fund. Mr Peacock, in replying, said he was surprhed at Mr Hurst's opposition, as he must have known that there was a vast majority of the people in favour of borrowing, and the small number who tad registered their votes was no criterion, as the polling day wa-s very wet. Ho would not enter into the other questions which had been introduced, but in com mittee he would be prepared to give infor mation on any point required. The bill was then read a second time, with one dissentient (Mr Hunt). It will be committed next Thursday. Ihe Nelson Gaol tragedy. Replying to Mr Lkvestam's question as to who was to blame for the tragedy at Nelson Gaol, Mr Conolly said perhaps some blame was to be attributed to the gaoler for em ploying Davidson as cook. There was a uuliicient number of warders employed in the gaol. Main Roads. The early part of the evening sitting was occupied in consideration of tae motion of Major AtiunS'.iu that a select committee be appointed to inquiie and report to this House which of the roads gazetted under section 7 of the Koads and Bridges Con struction Act should be approved as main roads; the committee further to inquire and report whether there are circumstances wbicti would justify the granting of all or any of the applications made since 31st March last to have roads declared main roads, to us to enable the local bodies applying to participate in the funds available tor distri bution under the Roads and Bridges Con struction Act i also, whether it is desirable that applications should be entertained for the purrent year from counties not having applied during the year 18S3, to have additional roads placed on the schedule of main roads. The committee to consist of Mr Beetham, Mr tarnach, Cap tain McKenzie, Mr Mitchelson, Mr Postle thwaite, Mr Cadnian, Mr Seddon, Mr Shepherd, Mr Fulton, and Mr J. W. Thompson. During the discussion that ensued, Mr BAKKON moved an amendment to the effect that the names of Miuisters be substituted for those of the committee; and subse quently Mr Fulton moved that afurthe words " schedule of main roads" there be inserted " and to consider generally in what respect the Act needs amendment." Mr FISH made a lengthy speech, in the course of which he said the committee proposed by Government was a party one, and if the motion was carded he would advise those members of the Opposition on n to have nothing to do with it, but to retire and cast the onus on Government. A fierce party debate ensued, in which nothing of any importance transpired, wiih the exception of some amusement caused by a rencontre between Mr Beetham and Mr Thomsoa, of Clutha. 'Mr Beetham, a Wat rarapa runholder, denied that the Koads and Bridges Construction Act had been a mistake, and proceeded generally to defend the principle of the measure. Mr Thomson aubsequently said that under the Act three roads had becm made in Wairarapa district cfieto Mr ieetham's run, and one each to he runs of two of his bosom frieuds. Mr Fulton's amendment was passed without opposition, and Mr BAIUIOK'S was lost on the voices. The question that the motion, as amended, bs carried, was passed. Ayes, 55; noes, 24, Ike House then adjourned for supper. After the supper adjournment, the Bills of Exchange Bill was reported with amend ments and agreed to. On Mr Conolly's motion, the Criminals Execution and Property Lnvs Consolidation Bills were read a second time. The House went into committee on tbe

Crown Grants Bill, which was renortprt without amendment. sported. Mininy Companies Act.

PRESBYTERIAL CON FERENCE.

"The Lapsed Masses and Hoio to /teach Them.''

ANOTHER of the scries of Presbyterial conferences was held on Wednesday evening in St. James's CLurcb, Rev, D, W. Kuuciman presiding. The at tendance was not by any nuaus so Jaige ns might have been expected, Rev. G. i>. Mouro opened the proceedings by an interesting paper on ''The Lapsed Masses aud How to Keach Them." He said the subject was one which had been occupying the atteotion of the Home churches for several yeais, the presence of a vast and in creasing apparently outside present church influences having forced the all-important question of how to reach such upon the earnest consideration of all sects aud de nominations. The lapsed masses found in the large centres of population at Home were, lie considered, a different claes to those in the coloiles. Here, the speaker said, we certainly have a vast and rapidly increasing number of non-churchgoers, and a large amount of what is well-termed the "larrikin element," but we have not that helpless, degraded, godless multitude which has gradually filtered down to the lowest depths of social debasement. Tho explanation cf this was to be found in the comparatively affluent circumstances of the woiking classes, as well aa in the age of the colonies ; but, as time goes on, he thought the present recklessness and independence which seem specially (o characterise the youth of the colonies would develope into that depravity and ungod liness to be found in the large cities in Britain. But if there was not amongst us the class which might be called lapsed, there are thousands outside the regular church services. While this lapsing from church attendance affected all denotnina tions, the Pr(sbyterian Church was suffer* ing greatly in this way, and it was time the position was faced. The work pt reclaim* ing and retaining would be easier to-day than it would be ten years hence, on account of the likely increase of population and the hardening effects of persistency in sin. The speaker proceeded to state that in 1851 a religious census was taken in England, and at that time it was found that 66 per centi of the population were regular attendants upon church ordinances, while Irom the recent census it appeared that only 29 per cent, go to the House of God. Some of the Home papers gave the percentage at i% low a figure as 23, or just about one« third of what it was 30 years ago. At tendances, of course, 'varied in rural and city districts. Key. Johnston, of Glasgow, estimated that there were at least 150,000 non-churchgoers in that city, forming about. one-third of the population, while in Lon don there must be upwards of 700,000, if the same average exists there as in. Glas« gow, Liverpool, and Leeds. The attend i ance at church in the colonies was not much I better than at Home. They were indebted to tlie Auckland Star for their informa tion on this subject. At a great deal of trouble and expense the Star took the religious census of the city on two Sab baths in April, 18S2. On April 11th there was a total attendance at the 44 churches in the city of, in the morning, 9,799, and in the evening, which was wet and stormy, of 5,751. On the 23rd April theie were 9,875 i present in the morning, and 8,674 in the evening, so that it might safely be said that there were abont 31 per cent, ia chuicb. Making allowance for children unable to go to church, for sick and infirm, ond for tho^e whose domestic duties prevented thdr attendance, it would be seen that upwards of 10,000 go to no place of worship. Taking the popu lation of New Zealand at over 500,000, tnis would show that there are upwards, of 100,000 non-churcbgoers. It was with regret that he found that the non-attend ance of Presbyterians is as great aa amonsst other denominations, and they had only recently been told by Key. McKenzie Fraser in another paper that 1 in 4J put of the Presbyterian population of this colony attends tlie worship of the sauctnary, while that out of their regular 18.0C0 worshippers, only 6,000 or 1 in 3 are communicants. One in 7 of the population of the city, belongs to the Presbyterian Church, so tnat there must be over 5,500 in this city and Suburbs ; and yet only 1,158 were present atchuitfafaif the morning Vms -ipnsus was taken, and 928 in the evening. Ownd. Assembly returns gave a total of six churches in the city and suburbs, with 633 members, and 1,167 adherents, making a total of 1,800, including children only over the sge of 16.^ This showed that there must be 3,000 Pres-' byterians in Auckland who go to no place of worship, while there is seat accommoda tion in these six churches for 2,005, or for about 1 in 2J of the Presbyterian community. The rev. speaker then referred to the causes which led to tbis state of things, and in the course of his re marks said that the Presbyterian Church has not beeniand is not now giving that at tention to the cultivation of tho gift of pleating aud popular speech aa some »t the sister churches are doing. If their style of preaching was really one of the causes of the non-churchgolDg, and if their church service could be made more attractive to the gang, without in any way sacri ficing principles and conscience, then they onght to consider the question. It was wise for a church to study the tastes and tendencies of the age, and if anything <oald be done to keep men from lapsing into son churchgoing habits, and to draw men back to the church from which they have wan dered, without loss of principle, then why, he asked, could it riot be done ? If he had his way, he would like to see all seat rents done away with, not because he thought that such prevented men from attending church, but because he would like to see a more volun-. tary system adopted in the gathering in of church revenue. He hud no sympathy with the cry that constant money calls diive people from the church, because men are not at all likely to make themselves bankrupt by their contributions to God's cause. Amongst the causes of mm churchgoing, the rev. gentleman mentioned intemperance, which caused an annual loss of 30,000 to the church-roll in Great Britain, growing infidelity and scepticism, and the unsettled life many people live in the colonies. Under the head of "remedy," the speaker said the lapsed masses could not be got hi'ld of oy alteration of present church service, or bj improvement of the stylo of ordinary Sabbath addresses. Reference was made to the good work; being accomplished by city missionaries and Bible uui ns, and by our own evangelistic services, at d also by the Salvation Army and Gospel Temper ance Mission. In conclusion, the rev. speaker recommended :—(1) That commit tees should be appointed in all our large cities for the purpose of visiting new families that have just arrived in the_ colo nies, or have come from some other city U this colony. (2) That parishes should be sub-divided into what might be <!a"®'* elders' distticts, that office-beareis should be alwayson the outlook fornewcomers.and either visit them or inform the minister about them, (3) I'ftentiae children drop, into our Sunday-schools for a fcabbatb, or two, and then are lost sight of. 'ik*Bß children might be looked alter by a visit ing committee, and their names and ao dresses taken. (4) To reach those who never come to church, it is necceeaiy that they should Ie visited in their houses, ana visitiog committees might also largely assist ministers in this work. (5) That another effort should be made to establish* city missionary agency In connection WltQ the Presbyterian Church ; visiting of I"1 migrant ships was also recommended. Be marks on the subject were also made by*"B Rev. McKenzie Fraser, Mr Peter Macky,' Key. J. Macky, lie?. T. W. \W, *£■ Neville, Mr Barton. Mr Weir, Kiv. B. s. Macnicol, and the Moderator.
