NEW ZEALAND CONGREGA TIONAL UNION.

A mkktini"; was held on Tuesday evening in Borcsford-street Church to welcome the Rev. E. Walker on his return from Eng land, where ho had been advocating the claims of the Now Zealand Congregational Churches to some assistance in their endea vour to plant churches in places in the colony not now represented, and generally to further the objects of the Union.

There were oh the platform :—Revs. J. Robertson, M.A., T. Hamer, T. Adams, and H. W. J. Miller. Captain W. C. Daldy occupied the chair, and briefly introduced Mr Walker.

In his opening remarks Mr Walker gave an account of his errand Home, stating its objects and speaking upon the very gener ous reception lie had everywhere met with. The fund he had been seeking to raise amounted to £3,270, including a donation of £500 from the Coloniaf Missionary Society. The special purpose of this fund was to secure sites for future churches in eligible localities before their price becomes prohibitive. He had had the offer of a loan of £12,000 for church extension purposes uh a fund to come and go upon for ten years, 5 per cent, interest to be paid on the amount actually in use at any given time, and fifteen guarantors to Ijc jointly and severally re.-ponsible to the lender for the amount. Messrs Samuel Morlcy, M.P., Henry Spieer, R. S. Hud son, and others were willing to bo jointly, but not jointly and severally, responsible, and therefore 'it fell through. Mr Walker still hoped, however, that something might come of the proposals in connection there with, which had been carefully elaborated and widely circulated. Hi 3 visit Home h;id given him the opportunity of extensively diffusing information upon the colony and the position of the Congregational cause here. Amorigtherepresentativebodieshehad addressed wore the Congregational Union of England and Wales, the Scottish Congregational Union, the Congregational Unions of Lancashire, Yorkshire, Worces tershire, Cheshire, the annual meeting of the Colonial Missionary Society, in London, the Manchester Board of Congregational Ministers, and similar meetings of minis ters and representatives of churches in Leeds, Liverpool, Bristol, and Edinburgh. Besides ho had communication by post and circular with every Congregational minis ter in the United Kingdom, and with most of the known leading lay representatives of the body, many of whom he had personally visited. He had preached and lectured and widely distributed printed information likely to benefit the colony as well as the special object of his mission. Upwards of seventy ministers and students for the ministry had made inquiries respecting openings for service in New Zealand. He had had to tell them that before their services could be accepted the necessary funds must be raised to meet the initial expenses involved in organising new churches, including the maintenance of the ministers while gathering congregations. Mr Walker found that the Congregational Jubilee fund being raised at Home was not available for colonial missions, and that the prevailing commercial depression increased the difficulty of his undertaking. He .nad taken good care to inform hi- hearers every where that he was not asking for money for existing congregations, but only to meet I he first no.sts of forming new congregations, which when gathered would be well enough able to pay their own way,

and even refund the help by which they were started, as colonists were we'l able to pay for religious ministrations when once got together in sufficient numbers. He congratulated the Auckland friends that the Auckland and Southern Unions had amal gamated to form tho Congregational Union of New Zealand, and said he hoped great tilings from this amalgamation, which wns inaugurated in February last at Wel lington. He was pleased also to know that this newly-formed Union had resolved to augment the Special .■riles fund to £5,000, this augmentation to !.a attempted by an appeal to the liberality or the Congregationaliste in the colony, to be made at the annual meetings of the ! 'nion to be held in Auckland in February

axt. Mr Walker then gave illustrn ons of the need of this special fund. :id also said he should like to pee an

Investment made at the present time i y which a sum of twenty or thirty i.iousaud pounds would be available, say rwenty years hence, for the purposes of a i Congregational Theological College, that r!icre might be no need to raise so large an imount at that date by donations. He

believed in the future of New Zealand, and t'uit they should be pro vidingforgreat things, lie also believed in a great future for Auckland in partloular. He appealed to those who owned town and suburban land to make presents of sites for churches where tiicir land was situated, and quoted a num. !,er of recent instances of such liberality. He was glad to know that the Union inten .ied to seek to become incorporated, by which the holding and dealing with church properties and trusts would be greatly facili cited. He would like to see the churches call forth young men from their midst to give themselves to be trained and edu cated for the ministry of the Gospel; also, to see the churches put forth all their evangelistic power for the salvation of the masses. The Union \\*ould promote mutual acquaintance, be a means by which the strong would help the weak, and give itself vigorously to general church extension. A, lobd subscription list should be started in every church, which should grow year by year, to give the Union .i good income to deal with. The employment of a mission pastor or pastors. to begin new causes and get them ready for ministers to settle over them, would also be a good thing. While in Australia Mr Walker had learnt that possibly help might come from the colonies there, when the jubilee funds are all gathered in ; and that in the meantime a strong deputation to visit the churches here could be had if de sired. He also announced that the Rev. Dr. Parker, of the City Temple,' London, would soon be making a tour of these colonies. Mr Walker men tioned eight places where ministers might bo at once located if they were here, and the means available to help them a little at the commencement of their work, and after a statement of liabilitiesrest ing upon cxistingchurehes.and the hope that these would soon be removed, concluded by exhorting all present to do their utmost to made the werk of the Unjon a grand sue cess.

On the motion of Rev. J. Robertson, a vote of welcome and thanks to Mr Walker was passed, and the meeting, which was of an earnest character, concluded with prayer.

LECTURE ON "HEADS AND FACES."

Tug F.&v. Ralph Brown delivered on Tues day night in St. James's Hall his famous lecture on " Heads and Faces."" There were about 700 persons present, The Chairman (Rev. R. Bavin), in a few well-chosen re marks, introduced the lecturer.

jMr Brown, who, on his presentation to ; the audience, was received with applause, explained in the outset that he was a Methodist minister, residing in Melbourne, and that he, ■with his brother, were making a tour of the world so that they might have strength and health, and that in after years they might be the more fitted for good work for the church of their choice. Coming to his theme, he that from a boy he had been accuVconied to give attention to phrenology ah( f physiog nomy as sciences, and toiiote "the mentll and moral characteristics o f persons with whom he came to contact. He was not so much concerned as to whether phrenology wore a science or not, but from his know ledge of it he hoped to be able to give good advice which might result in benefit to his hearers in guidipg them in life, especially as to their choice of trades and professions. Some looked upon phrenology as humbug, and as such opposed to the teaching of the Bible. lie believed it to be in har mony with the book of Nature, which wa3 in harmony with the Book of God. Ho believed that the brain was the organ of the mind, and as it was active or sluggish the owner would bo distinguished mentally. Mothers and instructors of youth should see first that those in their charge had healthy constitutions. He spoke strongly against the "cram"-system of education, which was to be kid at the door of foolish parents and a vicious system of higher education. After referring to the mental organisation and the diseases of the brain, the lecturer described the various temperaments and their characteristics. A disjointed exterior generally indicated a ■ disjointed interior. The finer the body the finer the mentality. Some people doubted this tneory, but Nature never practised deception. Handsome women were some times scolds, and men of splendid talents sometimes perverted them, but it only proved the rule. Plain people sometimes possessed all the cardinal virtues, and that must be a great comfort to some of them (Laughter.) They should try to judge character, as it would be of use to them in preventing their being deceived and vie tumsed. It was indicated sometimes by

the gait, and ev^. hand. One man wou la~ — == fingers, making one feel as inTQ touching a dishclout, while another" ii. grasp conveyed such electricity that they felt the grasp as of a warm-hearted friend The face was indicative of the brain, but it must correspond with the head. Indications of character were given by tho hair, eyes, and nose. In conclusion, the lecturer alluded to the folly of apprenticing lads to trades for which they were not suited, and of persons marrying who were not suited te one another phronologioally. At the con clusion of the lecture Mr Brown made phrenological examination of the heads of some of his audience, his] delineations of character being remarkably accurate.

THE POLITICAL CRISIS.

(by telegraph,—own correspondent),

Otago Opinions of the Crisis,

Duxf.dix, this day.—The "Herald" is unable to excuse the Otago members who voted against the Stout Ministry. It is ini probable that anynewcombinationcan prove as favourable to local interests as it. Mr Gillies would not have been elected unless he had promised to support Sir Julius Vogel. His personal dislike to Mr Stout will not rehabilitate his political character, vhich has suffered a severe shock. It styles Mr Thomson "an arch offender, whose action will restore to power a Northern clique and bring disaster - ' to Otago interests. Our experience of Major Atkinson's tender mercies leave little hope of anything better under Atkinson and Vogel. Our chance has come and gone." The " Star" says : "SirG. Grey'sfailure caused no surprise. He came to Wel lington weakened in prestige and power ' :** but not less absolute in mind to have hia own way or bring about political chaos. So far as he may congratulate himself ori having succeeded, was in a great degree i 1 owing to his underground working. Sir Julius Vogel found himself seriously em barrassed by the question of the represen tation of Auckland in the Cabinet. Sir 'if George was not willing to join himself with colleagues who had minds of their own and especially objected to play second ■'?! fiddle to Sir Julius. He was resolute that if he could help it, the attempt to form a Ministry should absolutely fail. To this -<■ end he contrived to influence Auckland members of any standing who were not supporters of the Atkinson Ministry, so thafi one and all rerused the offer made to sev eral in succession of a Eeat in the Cabinet! : ' '• q Sir Julius therefore continued to place him self in the hands of Messrs Montgomery and Macandrew, with the consequence th<tt - ■ the personal constitution of the new Minis- '*-' try was exceedingly distasteful to. Auckland. Sir George Grey's failure will be regarded with satisfaction through- ' -'-4 out the entire colony. He merited a severe lesson, and must now realise how utterly he has forfeited his high esteem. It mnsthava been a bitter pill to confess that he could '; -V-'2 not rally a party of any kind." The article concludes thus :—"Tho Governor could not A'f have avoided sending for Major Atkinson. . 11 We do not regard as outside reasonable V hounds the possibility of a coalition between Major Atkinson and Sir Julius. We are aware that differences of opinion, more or ' less serious in their character, exist, but it / ij is not essential that members of the Cabinet should do more than agree to differ upon. some subjects while they are in harmony as to general principles. An Atkinson-Vogel *; Ministry constituted with due regard to South Island interests would be. satisfac- ' :'i tor}' " A Canterbury View of tl»© Stout-Voeel Failure. Ciitustchckch, this day.—ln reference to Sir Julius Voxel's letter, the " Lyttelton 'rimes "say sj — "TosaythatthewholeOppo- I sitiou voted with Mr Thomson only because they feared Sir Julius's proposals would ; : ■■■'■' rarry the colony with him would be saying . *' 8 too muchi What many of the reasons were:.:.-, • that tamed votes, only lobbyists can guess, but some are patent encugh. Mr Wakefield' t- if voted against tho Ministry because it did not contain Mr WakeSeld. Mr Grigg, ifis true, did the same because of oneitemin ■ ' the policy, a tax, which might have meant fifty pounds out of the pocket? | of that large-minded and patriotio :|| member. Mr Recce voted because walking arm-in-arm with the great pro-Consul Vtad |fl| turned'a head never too strong. Auckland members walked into the Opposition lobby because the South Island must never have - ilfii a predominant voice in the Colonial Go- >i;'sii}B vernment. Nelson members did so because , ' they wore not immediately promised a rail way to develop thoir barren mountain....., Hon. George McLean lobbied against the" Ministry because the Union Steamship Company does not love tho New Zealand Shipping Company. Mr Stevens helped 4 Mr McLean through similar reasons to ; those which filled Mr Wakefield's patriotic breast. As for Mr Thomson, we know n-hat tho Chairmanship of Committees had f> )f to do with his vote. In conclusion, that illustrious Hatch seconded the amendment because he was asked to second it, and !•"'■' who could refuse so great an honour ? Sach are a few specimens of the excellent reasons for depriving Sir Julius Vogel of thechancQ ; of reviving prosperity in >T e w Zealand." ' /{[j The Key to t^ e Position. The "Star" Parliamentary correspon dent corjs'.uers,. with regard to the political deadlock, that the key to the position is simple. It is plain ! that no singly party is strong enough to ; W make headway of itself. There are there fore only two alternatives : a combination of '' M parties or a dissolution. There is a proposal for the Atkinson,Stout, and Vogel people to 'X combine under a "Ministry of all the talent*." The only recourse is to call meet ings of the two parties, explain the position" v to each, descant on the necessity for ' combination, and put the question of supporting a combination of all the ■ talents to the vote. If the leaders get support enough in this -way to justify them in combining they will meet the House with a Government. They are in the hands of thoir followers, and feel that if ■ '<' M their parties do not support them they may as wall save themselves the trouble of trying to govern the country. In the event of the parties refusing to find enough support fox: ' the proposed combination of talents, tbo only alternative, all feel, must be a dissolu tion. That feeling will act powerfully on :i all minds.

Ciiristchtoch, this day.-A difficulty *'$ arose in the EM. Cq-;.rt in connection with the committal *> some children to Burn ham Industrial School. It apponred on in quiry *, ia t the children had been attending ; }t"j Salvation Army meetings, and the Bench held that the Army had not yet obtained recognition in the institution. It was at last elicited that the children, at some time or other, had attended the Pres- ' ■S byteriap Church, and that faith was there fore recorded on the order. A curious accident occurred in Cathedral Square yesterday. The wheel of a cab caught in the tram rail and was ■wrenched clean off, causing an ugly spill; but M strange to say, the driver and occupants, a > lady and child, escaped almost unhurt.
