THE RECORDS OP A NOBLE

WORK

IN this oge, when a free press and cheap printing have been prolific in the produc tion of books and pamphlets assailing Christianity; when it is a common thing tb'hcarmcu speak of the failure of Chria 'tian effort to reach the people or satisfy ; their intellectual cravings; it is refreshing ; a nd instructive to investigate the work 'carried on by onebf thoso societies upon 'which the Christian world relics for the •'diffusion of the great truths of the Chris- Cv system and the carrying on of an -Offensive and defensive warfare agates ,_". i-.L The, book - shelves ot Messrs, Upton ana Qo„ the Auckland agents' of the "SoctSly for Promoting j Christian Knowledge,"''afford a revelation 'on this subject. This old and active "Society, which originated In IGo3,'has been faithful to »ts name and mission. But faith fulness alone, without wistlom and judg ment, would accomplish very little. Tho 'leaders of the Society, keeping in view the purpose of its existence, have recognised • the fact that in extending the kuowledge of those precious truths which have regene'" I atod tho world, they must iutcrest w'»o ''thoy instruct, they must identify Ch>¥ lan* ity not alone with Church ceromo» KS> ana • creeds, and dogmas,,,but with »c »ctivo ''dally life of the people and «W-j ?? ma,! '•ympathles and craving«--. that, lt. n? ust •keep pace with the dis- 5™1? 8 of science, i journey with thotra^r -nto S raTOrad? unknown lands, an*' ■allß^,'^? nßei^ 'the imagination « eongeiual food. Nor -dit it shrink from boldly meeting the -questions of t»e sceptical intellect. Before 'noticing sor« of ihs bookß that have re cently Iss*e( l from tl3o Society's press, it will bo advantageous to say a word •or t wo r oout the gigantic character of the work it Is successfully carrying on. The socie'y issued in the year ending the 31st March, 18S1, no rewer than 7,829,506 'separate works valued at £87,181. It circu lated Bibles and portions of Bibles and Prayer Books to the number of CS6.IIS. It spent '£10,000 during the year on church and school bnlldings. It has erected at a cost Of £33,000.a Training Collego at Tot tenhamfor 100 school mistresses, and schools for 400'iohildren, and it maintains these In stitutions. During'the; year, it helped to - build 24 new Sunday-School rooms and to ' rent 26 rooms for Sunday-School purposes ; -'it paid £275 for'systematic church teaching ■ of pupil teachers in the London School Board district; and in the last ton years'it has given -towards' the endowment of .twenty-two Bishoprics, and the support, of clergy In fivo -dioceses. It has! assisted in training naeivo ! missionaries, and invites Bishops of Mission 'iftry and Colonial Dioceses to'seek its aid for Vthls laudable purpose ; and it provides largo •fandsfor tho maintenance of studonts, and ■endows tutorships in Theological Colleges. In tho year ending March ISSI, grants were .made by the society in money amounting to £23,460; in books, £13,007. Very few • Churchmen, even; are aware how much it a has helped weak congregations in the colouies. Some idea may be gamed, however, from the grants made during tho year under notice; towards Church iwork in the small corner of its i.world-wido sphere covered by the Pro vincial District of Auckland. These donations were: To new Church at —ihikihi, £20; new Church atTararn, £25; new Church of St, Sepulchre's (additional) ' £50 ; Trinity Church, Devonport, £50 ; Church for Maories at, Maramatawhana, '.£3O; and the Church at Aratapu, £30. .Churches in Canterbury, Wellinston, ; Nelson, and Otago were similarly aided. There were, besides, fifteen book grants to New Zealand libraries. Prom these figures i!it will be seen that tho society nobly earns its name by lending an ever-ready helping 'hand where help is most needed, apart from that special work of supplying • a pure and extensive literature, cheap Bibles, prayer books, and hymn books, for the use of the Church throughout the world. Portions of the Bible and prayer ■ book are circulated in fifty-two different languages. Among them we notice Maori, Surat, Labor (Sea Dyak language),.. Ojib beway, Chinese, Acawoio, Yoruba, and others which rceiuire no little geographical knowledge to locate. Books and tracts are also published in many of these languages. For example, tracts are circulated in the Arabic language on tho Misery of Mankind, the Salvation of Mankind from Sin and "Death, on the True and Lively .Faitb, , Christian Love and Charity, against Swear "leg and Perjury, of the Declining from God, Our Saviour's Discourses, Sermon on the Monnt, Miracles of Our Lord, Parables of Our Lord, History of the Bible, Agathos and other Sunday stories, Texts on Cards, &c. The gigantic nature of the task per formed by the society in the Literary De partment can only be fully understood by a perusal of its voluminbuß catalogues and a thoughtful consideration of the influence " that must be exercised on tho thought of ' the world by an issue of nearly eight million publications. The issue for the year ending the 31st March, 1881, was:

President of tho Geological Society, Hon orary Bellow of King's 'College, London. Tho scope of the book, which boars tho date 1882, is to trace the growth of scientific knowlodge through the lives of its ciici workers, beginning with Aristoteles, thei first botanist, ond ending with Lyel. The book contains admirable biocraphical sketches ot Linn-us, Bnffon, Lamarck, Huttou.William Smith, Mttrchison, and Lyell. Another selection from the shelves at random, yields a capital nautical story, "The Good Ship Barbara: a Story of Two Brothers," by S. Whitcombe Sadler, R.N. author of "Slavers and Cruisers," "Marshall Vava sour " otc. The volume is well bound, and Illustrated with full-page engravings by W. 11. Cverond. Picking out two of tho minor volumes, we examine one with richly gilt flowered cover, and bearing the title " Avanturino." It is Bmnll enough to carry comfortably in the waistcoat pocket.

The many^idedness of this Sooiety's liter ary productions should be typical of tho animating spirit of tho Christianity of the day—and if wo may fairly infer that it la so, there Is great reason for gratifying reflec tions in the present and ef hope for tho future. At no time during the eighteen centuries that have olapsed since tho Pounder of Christianity walked tho earth, havo his apostles tnken broader ground, or relied more upon the in telligence and less on the superstitions and traditionary usages of mankind. In this they approach more closely than any intermediate age to the example of Christ himself who inaugurated an intellectual as well as a moral rovolntion. We may indeed ask, In view of the work of this Society, which is only typical of several others, whether thero has ovor boon so great an amount ot true Christian effort, or so true a conception of the mission of the divine Master,as in the present day—whether wo can find any parallel for our philanthro pic-!, literary, and ovangelising organisa-' tions, our Sunday-school and temperance crusades, in the vies and superstition and ignornnco and cruelty of the past centuries; And if the answer comes, as it must come,' that thoro is no parallol anywhore, then, are wo not justified in believing that de f.plto the noise of anarchists, the lamonta tions of pessimists, and tho still too preva lent evidoncoß of misery and dopravity around v«, the world is advancing in civili zation and moral and spiritual worth, with Christianity leading tho way. i

"My girl has shook me." " Sho I you don't say so," said the grocery man, as ho threw a rotten potato into a basket of good ones that were going to the Orphan Asylum. "Well, sho showed sense. You would have blown her up, or broken her neck, or something. But tlon't feel bad ; you will find another girl that will discount her, and you will forget all about this one." " Never 1 said the boy, as he nibbled at a piece of codfish he had picked off, "I shall never allow my affections to become entwined about another piece of calico. It unmans me. Henceforth I am a hater of the whole girl race. From this out I shall harbour revenge in my heart, and no girl can cross my path and live. 1 want to grow up to be a school-ma am, or a he miller, or something, where I can griud girls into dust, and make them sue for mercy. Oh, you don't know anything about the woe there in in this world. You never loved many people, did you ?" The groceryman admittted that ho had never loved very hard, but bo knew a little about it from an aunt of his, who got mashed on a Chicago drummer, "But your father must be having a rest while your mind Is occupied with your love affair," said he. " Yes," says the boy, with a vacant look j "I take no interest in the pleasure of the chase any more, though I did have a little) quiet fun at the breakfast table this morn ing. You see pa is tho contrariest man that ever was. If I complain that anything at the table don't taste good, pa says it is all right. Tliis morning I took the Byrnp pitcher and emptied out the white Byrup and put in some cod-liver oil tbat ma is taking for her cough. I put some on my pancakes and pretended to tasto of it. I told pa the syrup was sour and not fit to cat. Pa was mad in a second, and he poured out some on his pancakes and said 1 was getting too confounded particular. He said the syrup was good enough for him, and he sopped his pancake in it and fired some down his neck.

"He Is a gol darned hypocrite, that's what he Is. I could see by his face that the cod-liver oil was nearly killing him, but he said the syrup was all right, and It I did not oat mine he would break my back, and, by gosh I had to cat it; and pa said he guessed he hadn't got much appetite, and ho would just drink a cup of coffee and eat, a doughnut, I liked to died ; and that is one: thing I think that makes this dia. appointment in love harder to bear. But I felt sorry tor ma. Ma ain't got a vory strong stummick, and when she got some of that cod-liver oil in her mouth she went ; right up. stairs, sicker'n a horse, and pa had to. help her, and she had neuralgia all the | morning. ; "late pickles to take tho taste out of ,my mouth,, and then I laid for tho hired girls, They ate too much syrup, anyway; and when they got on .to that codliver oil; and swallowed a lot of it, one of them, an Irish girl, she got up from the table, and put hoi hand on her side, and said, ' Holy! Jaysus,' and wont out into tho kitchen as pale as ma is when she puts powder on ber face, and the other girl, who if Dutch, she swallowed a pancake and said, ' Mine Cotf, vats the matter mit me 1' and she went out aad leaned on the coal-bin. Then they talked Irish and Dutch, and got clubs and started to look for me. I thought I would come over here, " Tho whole family is sick, but it is not from love, like my illness, and they will get over it, while I shall fill aa early, grave, but not till 1 have made that girl and. telegraph company wish they were dead, Pa and I are going to Chicago next week, and I bet we will have some fun. Pa says I need a change of air, and I [think he is going to try and lose me. It's a dark day when I get left any where that I can'c find my way hack. Well* good-bye, old rotten potatoes."

Some Refinements of Cruelty.

The public learns from the Russian Official Messenger that the Czar has commuted to hard labour for life a sentence of death pro nounced on revolutionists; but nothing transpires either of the trial, or of the crimes imputed to the condemned, Nay, even the last consolation of those condemned to death, the consolation of dying publicly, was taken away. Hanging will now be done secretly within the walls of the fort ress, In the presence of none from the world without. The reason is that when Ryspa ko_ ffas brought out to the gallows ho showed the crowd his mutilated hands, and shouted louder than the drums, ihathehad been tortured after trial. His words were heard by a group of "Liberals," who repu diating any sympathy with the Terrorists, yet held it their duty to publish the facts of the case in a clandestine proclamation, and to call attention to this flagrant offense against the laws of humanity. Now noth ing will be known of what happens in the casements of the fortress of Paul and Peter after the trial and before the execution. At least the Government think so, after having sent to hard labour the son of a jailer and a dozen solders accused of letter carrying between prisoners and their friends in town. But we know—and I have not the slightest hesitation in asserting the fact that at least two revolutionists, Adrian Mikhailoffand Kyssakoff, were subjected to . torture by electricity.— Prince Krapotlcine ■ in the Nineteenth Century,

MAGE'S MAORI.

How the *Gute Yankees swallow the " Travellers' Talcs."

The Now York Rang of solf-.ndvortising speculators in spoits pin their hopes of beat ing Sullivan now on Jem Maco and his Maori giant. Sullivan says of the Maori: " What is it? Let me look at it. If it's a man, I'll light it." Maco says that he has retired from the prize ring, but lio is pre pared to meet any one in gloves, anel that, after a little training, he will match his Maori ogalust any one. Old pugilists_ arc sceptical regarding Mace's " Unknown.

SLAD-'.S HOGI-STICI-INC. EXI'KIUEUCE

"I suppose you can stand punishment?" asked a veteran pugilist of -laelc. "Oh, yes. I could challenge any man to walk with baro feet upon broken glass. In former years, In my own country, my business was hunting anel killing wild bonrs. I mod to co out barefoot in the thickets and run in the brambles and stubble after tho nnimals. My feet wore badly cut up sometimes, but I eliein't mind the pain and inconvenience as long as I caught lots of boars. The govern ment wished to exterminate the animals, and a bouuty was paid for every tail that wo could produco in proof of a boar slaughtered. I used to run until I caught up with tho animal, and then kill him with a knife. My two brothers were in tho same business. I am usod to hardships and fatigue, and I don't mind punishment."

'HIE CHAMPION AND HIS CONDITION,

Ono of Sullivan's friends nescrts that ho Is ia no condition to moot Slado, the Maori, if New York parties should arrango tho light, as he has beon drinking heavily throughout tho trip which he is making with Coburn. Sullivan himself said : " I've had enough of the soft glove racket. If Jem Maco has a man that will stand In front of me on the turf with bare knuckles, all right. Wo can arrango a match, It looks as if there would bo a fight. It will bo my last, probably, win or lose, so it must bo for big monoy or not at all."

WHAT SLADE LOJKS LIKE.

Slaele (says the " Police New ") certainly looks as If ho might "lay out "the work for the boat of them. He ia 28 years old, six feet two inches tall, and weighs 225 pounds. His muscles are all splondidly developed, the lower limbs showing as good development as the anus and ohest. His band is in itself A menace to lif», largo and sinewy, with a grip like a vice. His features are rather broad and heavy, wiih dark hair and eyes. He has tho largo mouth which old-timors used to say Is one of the signs of a good fighter. His arms aro not large. He seems to be all shoulders and back aud big hands. Maco seems to wear his years as lightly as he did 10 years ago; but the top of his head is becoming bald, and his hair la sprinkled with gray. "You're getting old, Jom," said the re porter, " and you can't nll'ord to lead public opinion astray about the ability ol Slade. Can ho do it ?' " He's the greatest boxei I ever saw for a big one," was the reply. " If you're as good a man as you wore 10 years ago," tho reporter saitl to Since, " you would have a good ohauce to try fculllvnn yourself." :• ■ "Ah, my lad, I wish I could go back. Sullivan's stjlc of fighting would just suit me."

"How is that?"

" Thoy toll mo he is a rushor, and will ' come for It.' I'd stand and meet him, and if 1 got one or two ' nose endera' you bet that he would not rush again. As it is, ago and all thrown in, it ever 1 got in front of bim ho won't knock mo out iv four rounds."

Tho match between Slaele ami Sullivan will be to fight with bare knuckles for SSOOO. Mace says that, if Sullivan beats Sladc, ho will make a match to fight tho Boston Ilerculcs himself, with gloves, for 55000. John B. Deliny say 3ho will bet Irom §1000 to §2500 that tilade can knock Sullivan out In ono round.

Maco says he is ready to wager any sum from §25 to §500 that Sladc cm outjurup, outbox and outwrestlc, in Cumberland style, any man lv the United States, The general opinion among the sports iv New York is that tho Maori will stand little chance in tho ring with John L. Sullivan. "He is plenty big enough," re marked a well-known sport, " but the question is, is he good enough f" " 1 think not," joined in another sport, "he's too beefy, and mark my word?, if ho ever meets Sullivan iv tho ring Sullivan will mako niinco meat of him."

Many spottiog men are of tho opinion that there has been too much dissipation, sight seeing and late hours by Mncc and his Maori protege since their arrival, if it is really intended that the latter nhall fight Sullivan, and Al Smith's willingness to back Sullivan for big money after seeing Slade is thought to argue badly for the Maori's chances. MACE'S CONFIDENCE IN SLADE. Maco expresses the greatest confidence in Slade's ability to down Sullivan, and says that he will put up his own money on him. Mace says that he thinks Sullivan has not yet had a man in front of him able to tako or Rive punishment, but that Slade can do both, and furthermore, when placed in front of Sullivan ho will force tho light instead of allowing Sullivan to do the at tacking. A San Francisco sport says that he hoard Jem Mace's Maori pugilist, who is to make it hot for Sullivan in a slogging match, ohattering ia a room, and Mace showed him as his Australian champion. He was the ugliest man bo ever saw. Ho was naked from the waist up, and very long and muscular amis were hanging between his knees. His face was simply hidcouH. The nose was ilat, nostrils protrudiog, lips frightfully thick, forehead sloping straight back, and his eyes weren't any larger than the end of my finger. When Mace gave a signal, the thing staggered up and put up its hands. "Why Jem," he said, "that isn't a man 1" " No," he answered, " it's a gorilla, hut nobody can tell the diflerence when ho begins to fight." He put Up his hands and made a pass at the animal. It parried cleverly and countered on Jem's smeller, following up with one on tho eye that knocked the old champion clear over the bureau. Mace jumped up at onco to close with the brute, but got a couple in tho jaw that floored him in no time. Mace says : "Slade is a balf-breed Maori, anel tho hardest hitter I over saw in my life ; he has licked every man that ever crossed him, and none of them over came back for a second blow when he got his first right home. He can stand punishment, too, for I havo tapped him once or twice and ho never winced. He is a wonderful wrestler, too. He throw Frof."Miller just as I would a baby, and you people know that Miller is no slouch." U c can outjnrap any man of his size, and he is as active as a cat." "Did he ever light in the ring?" Mace was asked.

"No," replied Mace; "there was never a man whoro ho comes from that would dare to face him.- But he knows as much about the ring as if he had been there a dozen times, for I have had him in training nearly a year. Ho was a natural fighter when I took hold of him, and he soon learned all the tricks. Tho best thini? about him is his perfect good nature."

THE SAN FRANCISCO EXHIBITION. A complimentary reception aud sparring exhibition was tendorcd to Jem Mace in San Francisco, January 8, the principal feature ot the programmo being the wind up ■ between Maco and his gigantic half breed pupil, Herbert A. Slade. After a number of boxing bouts by local celebrities, Mace aud Slado appeared in tho ring iv full fighting costume, and were greeted with great applause. Both stripped in capital form. Mace weighed just 220 pounds and Slade 222. '1 he first roand was a good dis play of science Slade proved that he was a e'ever two-handed fighter, and that ho could hit straight from the shoulder with terrific force. Three exciting rounds fol lowed, and tho general opinion at the end was that Slade was nearly as clever as Mace.
