Judging Distance Drill,

The first parade of the Auckland Volun teers for the purpose of going through a course of judging distance drill, took place on Saturday afternoon, and taken as a first effort, must bp considered satisfactory. There was an excellent muster at the Drill shed, as follows: — Naval Artillery, Captain Leßoy, Lieutenents Parker and Smith; A Battery Artillery, Captain Payne, Lieutenants Nome and Geddes ; Victoria, Captain Mahon, Lieutenants Skinner and Self; No. 3, Captain Isaacs, Lieu tenant Hitchens; Hobsons, Captain Dig nan, Lieutenants Clifton and Flynn. After a little company drill had been gone through, Major Shepherd, who was in com mand of tho whole, called on Colour- Sergeant McLeod, of tho Victoria Company, to march to the front, and said he had a pleasing duty to perform—that of present ing the District Champion Belt pre sented by Captain J. M. Clark to Sereeant McLeod. Major Shepherd congratulated the champion on his success, who returned to his company amidst the plaudits of tho whole of the Volunteers present. It may not be out of place to state here that tho Victoria Company has secured the coveted belt three out of four years run ning now. The parade next formed fours, and, headed by the Garrison Band (who were minus the big drum), marched off by Upper Queen-street and along Karangahapo Road to Surrey Hills. Along tho line of march a few battalion move ments were effected though through the uncertainty of the word of command being heard (in consequence of the half gale blowing) a littlo confusion was apparent in Uppor Queen - street, On arrival at Surrey Hills, tho non commissioned officers of the different companies were told off to take charge of the sections and to keep the registers, Tho major then explained the drill, and how the points were to be scored. After about an hour and a-half had been put in at tho drill, tho battalion was formed, into inarching order, and ar rived at the Drill-shed shortly after seven o'clock, where Major Shepherd con gratulated them on the result of the judging distance drill, and the manner in which they acquitted themselves whilo under annii

CITY SCHOOLS COMMITTEE.

The usual fortnightly meeting of tho City Schools Committeo was held on Friday even ing, Mr Can-presiding. An application from tho Board that tho Committee would under take several improvements at one of the schools disclosed the circumstance that funds were decidedly short, and would not spread ever the present quarter. It was tnoreforo agreed to inform the Board of then position of financial embarrassment, and request that an amount should be placed to the Committee's credit sufficient to cover tho required works. In response to tho Committee's request that the Board would supply names of teachers eligible for the position of second master in Beres ford-street school, a communication was read, including the following:— Messrs Bolar, Mabbott, J. ■H. Gillies, J. K. Wright, and E. Partington. Messrs Thwaites, Offer, and tho Chair men were appointed a sub-committee to ascertain the qualifications of the gentle man proposed, and report at tho next meeting. A letter was also read from Mr Bolar stating that tho period of his engage ment at Beresford-street School had ex pired, and that ho desired to resign. He also forwarded a number of books which he asked the Committeo to accept for the Beresford-street School library. A letter from the Board stated that the esti mated cost (£1(32) for painting the walls and ceilings of Wellesley-street School was too high for the Board to undertake the work. It having been represented to them thatthetanksatWelleslsy-streetSchoolwere in a dirty condition inside, the Committee decided to have them cleaned as speedily as possible A lengthy discussion re a demons tration of school children in the Domain also took place. Particulars appear else where.

It is tho work of Mr Gulliver, of Quoen. street, and is as follows:—In tho centre is tho burning bush, and worked round it on either Bido tho passages of Scripture: "Ho saithunto him, food my lambs : of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." Then follows tho nddress, thus: " John Buchanan, Esq.—Dear sir,—Wo, the teachers and scholars, now and formerly in connection with Avondale Presbyterian Church Sabbath School, desiro to oxpress, on tlio occasion of your departure from our midst, our esteem foryou, and our gratitudo for your many vcars of willing and unwearied labours in the interest of tho school.

DEBATE ON CONDITIONAL IMMORTALITY.

The debate between Mr G. A. Brown and tho Rev. T. W. Dunn on the question, " Does the Bible Teach Conditional Immor tality ?" was continued in the Theatre Royal on Thursday night, Mr Laishley again pre siding, and the audience being numerically as large as that of the preceding night. Mr Dunn set out with the contention that man was almost invariably identified with his spirit by the sacred writers, and he affirmed that the doctrine of man's immortality was supported by Paul's faith, the belief of the early Church, and of Christ's own teaching, as set forth in Luke xxiv., 36-38. —Mr Brown taxed his opponent with an unfair application of texts, and then went on to show by quotations that Paul's teach ing was uniformly in tho direction of con ditional immortality ; that Christ's positive teaching was to the same effect; and that the early Church held the same belief in Conditional Immortality until an infusion of the heathen philosophy took place, when the present doctrine of inherent immortality was elaborated. During tho next lialf-an hour the disputants closely questioned each other upon such points as the meaning of "soul," "spirit," "immortality," "life," "sheol," "nados," "man," "neshamah," "runch," the transfiguration, the be lief of tho Pborisees, &c. Mr Dunn, in his closing address, proceeded to disprove tho ■ repeated assertion that the orthodox belief in immortality was derived from Plato, or any of tho Grecian, Egyptian, and Buddhistic philosophers; and then ho passed on to show that the doctrine of man's annihilation at death was taught by Aristotle, Epictetus, and Lucretius, and that its watchword was Seneca's, famous dilemma, " Ant beatus aut nullum " ("Either happiness or nothing.") Mr Brown replied that his contention was that the idea of inherent immortality was derived from Plato and modified ; whereas, if any of the old philosophers had taught Conditional Immortality, he had simply to say that their teaching squared with tho Bible, which was the only authority. He then proceeded to prove that this was the Bible teaching, and in doing so he asserted that while the words, " soul " and " spirit" were used over 1,600 times in tho Scriptures, God had never seen fit to call either " immortal." The takings amounted to £7 Us Gd, the use of season tickets accounting for the apparent de crease.

Tho debate on "Conditional Immor tality" was resumed in the Theatre Royal on Friday night, the audience being almost as numerous as on the two previous evenings. The chair was occupied by Mr G. W. Griffin, American Consul, but the gentleman scarcely appeared to be in his element. He failed to get the audience under control, and the consequence was that several times during the evening disorder and confusion were rampant, threatening to bring the meeting to an untimely end. The dis cussion was opened by Mr Brown, who replied to various arguments adduced by Mr Dunn on the pre vious evening. He then proceeded to further discuss the terms "immortality," " soul," and "spirit." With regard to the latter words and the authorised translation, he said the translators had been guilty of some awful tinkering with God's Word, and he wished to God the people knew it. Mr Dunn followed, recapitulating somo of the arguments he had previously brought forward. He referred to a dispute on the previous night as to the words "phantasma" and "gehenna," in order to show that he was right in his contention on that occasion. In tho course of his remarks he alluded to Mr Brown's reference to the Rev. A. Reid's discourse of last Sunday night, and said : — " Mr Reid is as far above Mr Brown as a scholar, a gentleman, and a Christian—' Hero there was a burst of mingled hisses, stamping, groans, and applause, which the Chairman was unable to quell. It was re newed again and again, but at length sub sided, and Mr Dunn continued his speech. Several interruptionssubseqnently occurred, and during one of them tho Chairman threatened to vacate his position. Mr Dunn was then questioned by Mr Brown on the use of the presenttensein the Bibleandonthe terms "death," "spiritual death," "spiritual life," "judgment/'"resurrection,"&p., and Mr Brown was questioned by Mr Dunn as to the "new birth," the words "spirit," "beth," "manna," &c. Mr Brown then entered into a further criticism of Mr Dunn's arguments, and Mr Dunn devoted his closing speech to proofs that there was much confusion among the various writers on Conditional Immortality, as to the resurrection, tho judgment, and the future fate of the wicked. At the olose of his speech another unseemly disturbance occurred, several of the audience appar ently deeming it their duty to take Mr Dunn in hand themselves. Mr Brown asked permission to say a few words, and then expressed his regret that there should havo been such interruptions during tho ovening. He hoped that no further dis turbances would occur in the course of the debate. Tho passing of a vote of thanks to the Chairman brought tho meet ing to a close. The course of events last night showed conclusively that party feel ing ran high between the Orthodox and the Conditionalists, and the rancour and ill feeling called forth by the discussion suggest the idea that such debates servo rather to excite bigotry than to advance truth. The discussion will be resumed next Tuesday evening, when it will be for Mr Dunn to take up the positive argument that the Bible does not teach Conditional Immortality, and for Mr Brown to disprove

Amicus V. Mr R. Stout.

(To tho Editor).

Sir,—When "Amicus," in your issue of this evening, impugned the correctness of tho state -1 ment of Mr R. Stout that lire late Mr Denton was, on one occasion, "driven from his employ ment because of his relicious views," Ire ought to havo supported his doubt with evidence from Mr Denton's life. Mr Denton was a con siderable time in- Dunedin, and no doubt Mr Stout, if he had not learned beforo, learned then from Mr Denton's own lips many circumstances of hi« life; and I have that opinion of Mr Stout that the position ho holds in society, and the re gard ho has for the truth, are sufficient guaran tees for the correctness of that or any other statement he may have made with regard to Mr Denton. Though the people of Auckland are very tolerant in reglious matters, in tho pro vincial districts of England _>r years ago, to any one who made himself conspicuous for his heresy, they were not so. The public herotio then, and I presumo Mr Denton was a publio one, had even worse experiences than loss of employment; and, in fact, England is not a bed of roses for heretics yet. So there was nothing improbable in this alleged ex perience of Mr Denton that it need be doubted' unless, indeed, the doubter has other informa tion, in which case ho ought to produce it. I admit, as "Amicus" stote3, that employers have tho privilege of retaining or dismissing em ployes, and thus, quite consistent with the usages of society, a heretic may lose employment and unless re-employed by a humane Christian or brother heretic, tho employe may then, un molested, enjoy his privilege to starve. Yes, "Amicus," this is indeed the amicable arrange ment. But employers are sensible men, and although many of tlrcm would prefer to find in their workmen ability antf piety com bined, yet, as a rule, they prefer the ability without tire piety before the piety without tiro ability. No one is more fully convinced than Mr Stout that views influence conduct, lhat is tho very reason he interests himself so muoh In tho Sropagation of rationalistic views, which he en eavours to prove make men better citizens Of course, it is a difficult matter to many of us not to concern ourselves with the religious belief of others. Mr Stout manifests an.earnest concern in that matter, and in tho remark which "Amicus" quotes as a remark of Mr Stout, ho probably meant that belief should be regarded as a personal right which no one should try-to suppress or intimidate.—Yours, &c.. A. Campbell. October 31.
