THE KEY. J. BULLER

Thb ' Canterbury Press' of Nov. 7, in re cording the death of this eminent clergyman Bays : The Rev. James Buller, whose decease announced in another column, was a native of Cornwall, England, where he was born in December, 1812. In early manhood ho emigrated to New South Wales, but after a stay of a few weeks only in Sydney, came on to New Zealand as tutor to the sons of the late Rev. Nathaniel Turner. Mr Turner was then a Wesley an missionary in Hokianga and after the lapse of twelve months Mr Buller also entered upon mission work. For three years on the Hokianga station, he was associated with Messrs Turner and Hobbi, . and saw mission work in its palmiest days. Heathenism was forsaken, cannibalism checked, schools erected, and slaves were manumit ted, while largo congregations listened to the preaching of the Gospel. In 1839 Mr Boiler was removed to a new station called Tangiterorin, on Waiora River. There, with the exception of a short time spent at Mount Wesley, on the same river, he laboured for .fifteen years as a missionary to the Maoris. Hi» work involved much exposure, and canoeing, and long absences from home, but being strong and hardy, he evangelised the native tribes in that district, and at the same time taught them the arts of civilisa tion, and around the mission station literally made "the ■wilderness tp blossom as the rose, He was a resident in Wairoa when those islands were proclaimed a British colony; and during Honi Heko's war in the North was able through loyal natives to, apprise "the Government of a menace intended to the then rising settle ment of Auckland. In 1854 Air Buller, for the purpose of educating his children, was fibliged to leave hia bush station, but he always cherished a deep.interest in the Maori people, and by many of the old men his labours are still gratefully remembored. -'Mr Bullet hW seen during his lite the rise of all our New Zealand towns. When the only European residents in Auckland dwelt in tents, he visited them in the exercise of his ministerial duties. In the latter part of J839 he started from Kaipara for Welling ton. The whole of the journey was accom p'tshed on foot, and in Port Nicholson Mr Bnller pieached to the first of the New Zea li&id Company's Wellington immigrants on board the ship Aurora. In 1855 he took up his' residence in Wellington, "and for "five years laboured as minister of the English Weelejan congregation there with marked success.'' He had also several native churches under his care, and frequently . visited the outlying districts, extending his journeys'through the Wairarapa on'the one hand, and'to Wanganui on the other. After six: years in Wellington he. took up fif« residence in Christchurch, and as Superintendent of the Wesleyan denomina tion, his sphere of labour extended from Lyttelton to the Kowai Pass, and from the Ashley to the Selwyn. He was then in full vigour, large congregations'attended his mfoiatry, and the present Durham-street Church stands as an enduring monument of his'labours, white by many Canterbury resi dents his visits to their homes'are still re membered with great pleasure. Subse quently Mr Buller laboured' in Auck land fer four years, afterwards on the Thames Goldfield for.three, and then returned to Canterbury for a second term of service. In 18761 he retired' from the aotirt work of the ministry to pay a long meditated visit to England, where he re rtlainod f6r five'years. ' During his residence the'ro by the publication of his books, J' Forty Years in Now Zealand " arid " New Zealand: Past and Presont," Ko directed tho' attention of many English, people to this land,'who are now among our best cßlonists. Bince his return to' the col6nj2,fn 1881 he has resided 'on the Papanui Rdad, and for a time rendered valuable service to the churches of the St. 'Albans circuit. Two years ago disease laid the strong nlan 'low, and for several months past TO had been confined to the houee, so that his death was not unexpected. By his brethren of the Wesleyan minis try, and the members of that church gener ally; the deceased gentleman was held in the highest esteem.- For twenty years he held the responsible office of Chairman of the district. ' ' Irf 1864 he was elected Presi dent of the Australasian Conference in Mcl- Bourne, and eleven years later received a Unanimous vote as President of the New Zealand Conference. An able1 preacher, tie was also a capable administrator, and organised* the Wesleyan Churches in Timarii and Westland. ' He also took con siderable interest in public affairs. His ad vice on native matters was often sought by Dr Featherston, when that gentleman was Superintendent of the Wellington Province. During his earlier residence in Canterbury he wa ß for several years a member of the Board of Governors of Canterbury College. Few men were more widely known in *«ew Zealand, and everywhere his kindly disposi tion, extensive information, and deep Interest in the colony, gained him troops of friends. The reverend gentleman leaves a Widow, five son's;' and one1 daughter to mourn his loss. * ': ''

Free Library.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—l read with considerable pleasure the leader in the Star of the 12th inst. respect ing the Free Library. To my mind the tone of the article was good and its remarks pertinent and .apposite, and now that the subject is beforo the public, and engaging a great deal of attention, I beg to submit for consideration the following suggestions, which, I am of opinion, would bo of great public utility if acted upon : —First, then, 1 would suggtst that the _ibrary bo divided into two departments, viz., a lending de partment and a reference .department, the latter to be daily accessible to the public, and in charge of an efficient officer, so that visitors may lay their hands on any particular book at a given time. Of course this .branch would consist chiefly of those rare and valuable books which aro not within the reach of the feneial public. In regard to the lending epartment, (1)1 beg to suggest that each burgess of the city bo allowed (should he so elect] to become responsible, or, in other words, bo surety for the books borrowed by three individuals, and to sign a printed form to that effect before the bor rowers be allowed to take out books. (2) That a printed list of the books hi kept framed, in the library, and also that as many small pigeon-holes be numbered as there are books ; that when a book be taken out the librarian shall insert on the borrower's ticket the number of the book, and then place the ticket in the pigeon-hole of the corresponding number, by which it will at once be discovered whether any particular book bo in tho Library or not. I believe, sir, that this plan is in operation in most of the leading towns of Great Britain, and can say from personal observation that it worked admir ably at Leicester. Provided that the Library be stocked with sterling produc tions, and that more regard be paid to quality than quantity, which at present is unhappily ■ not the - case,' I know of no scheme which would so directly tend to the spread of useful and entertaining knowledge as tho one I havesugg'eßted, and surely, sir, this is a most desirable consum -1 mation. Under the present regime the Library moro nearly resemtles a miser's hoard1 than' anything elae, and although none of the materials for a good repast are wanting, • yet the public are being regaled (intellectually speaking) with nothing more substantial than the barmaid's feast. I commend these suggestions to the Library Committee, arid should be happy to explain them at greater length if requisite.—l am1, etc., C. A.- Abbott, Park Road, Parnell, November 13, 1884. • '

THE AUCKLAND EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1884,



An entertainment was given last evening at the Theatre Royal" in aid of Mr Edward Johnston, who lost his arm by an accident some time ago. The first part took the form of a concert, and was opened with a selection by tho Garrison Band. Some of the principal item's were songa. "The Gauntlet," by" Mr W. George, and "Tawhiao's Visit to London" (written by Mr 11. Wiseman, of the Thames), by Mr H. Roberta, were especially well tendered.' The latter production occasionod roars of laughter and Mr Roberta had to submit to an encore, singing, bj way of response, "Tho Bllghted;Husband." A jockey hornpipe, by Mr A. Hughes, was encored, and asong, " I Seek For Thee in Every Flower," by Mr King, met with considerable favour. The second part opened with- a solection, played by Messrs Bartleyand Fanncken Bros., rind th 6 re mainder of the performance consisted 6f dramatic sketches capitally enacted by1 the Thespian Dramatic Club.
