UNITED METHODIST FREE CHURCHES ASSEMBLY.

On Friday afternoon the assembly again met at 2.30, ivlien tlie subject, of union was again discussed. Several amendments were proposed, but on being put to the meet ing were lost. We here publish Mr Macfarlane's reply lo the discussion.— Tno Rev. S. Maofarlane, in replying conse quent upon the rejection of tlie Rev. M. Baxter's amendment, said that he endorsed the remarks made by several brethren as to the tenor of Mr Baxter's speech, and his (Mr B.s) objections were levelled, not at the basis of union, but against tlio Methodism of _ialf-i.-contury ago or more. The constitution of the Conference of tho proposed Methodist Church (he contended), composed as it would be of an equal number of ministers and laymen, was a sufficient reply to the objections which had been urged. He con tended further that there was no fixed ecclesiastical polity in ihe New Testament Scriptures, and that the polity proposed in the basis of union was of a character sufficiently liberal to warrant our acceptance thereof. Replying to Mr Redstone's objections to the union, viz., the giving up of free representation and circuit independence, he (Mr Maofarlane) contended that the proposed basis, by securing in the highest court an equal number of laymen and ministers, would 'produce results far more satisfactory than our mode of election, and that circuit independence had not been ;m unmixed blessing to us as a denomination. Mr Redstone had com plained that there hud been no agitation or memorials in favour of union. Did ho desire if? 110 (tlio speaker) did not. Then ill' Redstone spoke as though we had sought union, The converse was the truth. Our \Vesleynn friends had proposed it, und the basis was tho outcome of their proposals,— Replying to Mr Bowron, the speaker said it was alleged that this was a ministers' question, but he (the speal er) denied it; it yv.t. a people's question, ar 1 the people had pronounced largely in its .avour. "There was not much enthusiasm " on tho subject (said Mr B.). True; but the enthusiasm would come in large enough measure when the Union became a fact accomplished. As to the objection urged that the Union would eventuate in the higher educa tion of the sons of ministers and rich laymen, Mr Maofarlane contended that, this being so, Mr Bowron, if he were in England, would cease to bea Free Methodist, inasmuch as the amalgamation which in 1857 had been consummated between the Wesleyan Association and tho Reformers had eventuated in the establishment of Ash ville College, which had for its object such higher education. In replying to Mr Fleshor's objections: Mr Flesher's references to tho New Connection Conference were alleged to be rather in favour of union when rightly understood than against it. As to the right of every minister to attend the proposed conference, if permission were granted, this was admitted, but even in this case there would be an equal number of lay men, and so the objections fell to the ground. Mr Flesher had alluded to the sacritices which laymen had mado in the interests ol Free Methodism. This was admitted, and cheerfully, but had not ministers made sacrifices of equal value? As to the dilliculties experienced by the various branches of the Methodist Church in con sequence of the continued influx of popula tion, he (Mr M.) contended were all in favour of union rather than against it. After noticing some other objections as urged by Mr Flesher, the speaker came to one or twe concluding ones. Tho Wesleyutis (like others named) had not repudiated past wrongs. This ar gument, tho speaker averred, was met by the fact that there was the proposed basis hugely the work of their own hands. The judgment of the people on this subject had been largely in favour of Union, and would be moro emphatically given still.—The basis (Mr M. continued) was not an abso lute fixture, their own people had suggested some alterations, so had our Wesleyan and Primitive Methodist friends. The Com mittee on Union, he took it, would be re appointed, and these suggestions would be considered. Let the churches who could not as yet see eye to eyo with them wait the result of these further deliberations before tl.ey positively' rejected the overtures for union. In conclusion, Mr Maofarlane reviewed some particulars of his own history and his ex perience in connection with the churches, and trusted that the Union would be happily and speedily consummated. The vote was then taken on the motion as moved by Rev. S. Maofarlane, approving of the proposed union, and pledging the meeting to enter such union ;at the same time, to suggest such alterations as did not affect the fundamental principles of the basis. Thirteen representatives voted for the motion, and four against it. A record of the votes was then requested to be taken,and as the secretary read over tlie name of each member of the assembly, each responded for or against the motion, with the following results. For tho resolution :— The Revs. C. Worboys (President), E. 0. Perry (Secretary), S. Maofarlane (con ticxional representative), J. XV. Worboys, R. Taylor, J. White, and Messrs J. Coup land, .1. Knott, J. Saunders, J. Tattersall, J. Barnett, W. Cole, and J. Wrigley. Against the resolution : Revs. M. Baxter, h. B. Redstone, and Messrs Wm. Flesher and G. Bowron. The motion was thus carried by a large majority, and the meoting declared itself in favour of Methodist Union after devoting more than a day and a-half to the consideration of the subject. The dis cussion was well carried on, a good spirit pre vailed, and the arguments on each side were well sustained. The consideration of matters arising out of tho resolution was adjourned till Saturday morning's sittings. The assemlly then took up the report of the Finance Committee, and considered the question of grants to dependent circuits. Tlie assembly rose at 5,30. In the ovening :a Gospel Temperance meeting was held, presided over by Mr Wm. Flesher, of Christchurch. The Rev. J. White first addressed the meoting, taking for his subject the temperance question in relation to the home, and advocated tho making of homes happy and bright, and the introduction of good books into them. The Rev. J. W. Worboys, of. Woodville, next followed with a speech, pointing the fearful evils arising out of intemperance, and the awful amount of waste connected with the samo. The Rev. E. 0. Perry also spoko of the accounts he had heard of tho work done in Auckland by tho Blue Ribbon movement, and of what they in Napier had accomplished by the samo movement. He also spoke of the training of the young in principles of temperance and the duty of Christians in relation to total abstinence. Tho meeting was brought to a close by singing and prayer, A meeting was also held in sonnection with tho Conference in Mount Eden Free Methodist School-room last night, when addresses were given by several ministers and friends attending the district meetings. The Conference re-assembled on Satur day morning at 9,30, and at their rising adjourned till this morning.

St. Jacob's Oil Invincible.

(To the Editor of Evening Stab.) Dear Sir,—l wish to add my testimony to the efilcncy of tlio great Germanromedy, St. Jacob's Oil. \ our columns have contained, from time to time, expressions of gratitude from porsonsof known respectability, and having satisfied my self of the genuineness of the cures effected I obtained a bottlo, scarcoly hoping it would suc ceed in relieving me. For the past seven months I have suffered severely from a pain ful attack of sciatica, which, in spite of the most able treatment on the part of niy medi cal advisor, continued to hold its own in my system. My sleep at last bepan to bo affected and my whole system vory much roducod. Tho most careful treatment failod to give mo relief and I "Qion applied nearly every advertisoti remedy. The sciatica was principally looted In my loft thigh, and the pain at times was most excruciating, In spite of tho most thorough applications, and tho great est caro and attention on my part, I ob tamed iiq appreciable relief, and at last, as a forlorn hopo, I determined to apply St Jacobs Oil,.and from that time the paft began to diminish. My sleep soon roturnod, and each application afforded mo relief. At first I re garded the cessation from pain as only a temporary one, scarcely daring to hope that .the cure was complete; but I havo gratefully to _ acknowledge that I am now tree from pain—in faot, a man again. I must confess that I tried tho Oil in abso lute despair, I bnd bad no sleep for throe or four nights previously, and my svstom was very low. Ihe success, however, is complete, and I again tender my grateful acknowledgments to the proprietors of the Oil, and _hall ever continue to recommend it io every sufferer who conies within raiigo of my inlluen. o. What medical skill failed to do St. Jacob. Oil effected, and I regard it as tho greatest boon of the age. I am, dear Sir, Yours faithfully, John Lee. Ashbourne, Mudgce, November 13,1883.

THE PAIN ENTIRELY LEFT.

" Clarence Cottage, " Thomas-street, Balmoin, " 2lst August, 1883. " Publishers Evening Staii, " Dear Sirs,—About a fortnight ago I had a severe attuok of rhuematism in my back, which gave me no end of pain and trouble. I used St. Jacob's Oil, and in ono or two applications tlie pain entirely left. Sinco thon I havo had occa sion to uso the Oil on a badly-sprained wrist and its clloct was simply magical. My wife has used it for neuralgia in the head, with equally satisfactory results. I oonsider St Jacob's Oil a valuable preparation, and shall not only use it in my own house, but shall recom mend my friends to do so. "Yours truly, IT CONQUERS PAIi VB°OTn-"' ti1 nnxrnimi't.H duv

NORTH SHORE.

There are many Auckland people who have not for some years visited the North Shore, and who would be agreeably surprised with the many improvements to be seen through out the district. First of all is the neat and vory useful waiting-room, so welcome as a resting place for wearied travellers, or as a place of shelter in bad weather. It certainly adds greatly to the appearance of the wharf, as well as being highly appre ciated. On stepping ashore, we notice that Mr Jackson is making good progress with the reclamation works between Calliope Dock and Victoria Wharf; this, when finished, will add considerably totlic appcarancoof the foreshore, besides advancicg the value of property in this locality. Signs of progress and vitality arc equally noticeable in° tho neighbourhood of Devonport. Mr O'Brien, thecontrac'orfor building the now wharf, having made a fair start, substantial timbers are lying ready for use, and as lino weather should now be experienced, rapid progress will no doubt bo made with the building of the same, which is so much re quired, the old ono being perfectly useless having last winter been partially destroyed by a gale, since which time the residents have been compelled to travel to and from tho Victoria Wharf, the inconvenience of which has alone been mitigated by the ex cellent line of coaches which convoy passen gers at a very moderate charge. ' A sub stantial concrete wall or pier lias beon built at the joint expense of tho Harbour Board and residents, and as the District Board have decided to widen the bridge approaches to 100 feet, it will, when finished, bo a great improvement. The racecourse is ono of the prettiest in the colony, and at the meeting which takes place on the 29th of January spectators will be enabled to watch the races and Re gatta by turns-—one minute admiring the performance of some favourite horse, nnd the next gazing on the broad bosom of the deep, and noting the manoeuvres of tho crack sailing vessels of tho port. Tho North Shore is at all times a healthy and pleasant resort, but particularly is it so on Anniversary Day, when our magnificent harbour is the scene of so much life and en joyment, with our unexcelled fleet of Auck land-btiilt vessels, so superior in their build and performances as to enjoy the highest reputation throughout the colonies; and when we associate the names of the North Shore builders of many of their vessels it shows the sympathetic feeling which residents must feel in tho events. Amongst other signs 'of advancement observable, we must not omit to mention that there is a sawmill close to the Devon port Wharf, which has about 300 feet frontage to the harbour, and similar to the street. The machinery comprises engine with 2in. cylinders, hauling gear, break down, a large circular saw, and another small one, and Tay's planing machine (American.) There are excellent facilities for hauling up loads of timber, as a whole cargo can be put on a carriage and by means of appliances drawn from the vessel's side into the yaid in about fifteen minutes, at a total cost of about £1, while to do the work by means of the ordinary trucks would entail an outlay of some £8 or £10. The frontage is about the only available ono for the purpose. An important auxiliary for tho convenient supply of material for building purposes are the brick-yards of Messrs Duder Bros., which are admirably situated near the Gas Works. Vessels can bo loaded at the yards, affording cheap means of conveying bricks to any landing place on tho Waitemata. The proprietors have completed such arrangements as will enable them to keep pace with the local demand, while in a short time thoy will probably be able to supply the city, and prevent any future scarcity of bricks in Auckland.

While referring to the Devonport portion of the district, we should mention the improvements effected by Host Pearce to the Masonic Hotel, which now possesses the most excellent accommodation. There are 24 available rooms. The kitchen, —detached from the main building—is thoroughly well-fitted with ranges and all the most modern appliances. Thero are suites of apartments specially designed for newly-married couples or visitors requiring comfort and retirement. The privato sitting-rooms are nicely furnished, and tho bedrooms particularly inviting, being chiefly new, and all newly furnished. The sanitary arrangements throughout tho establishment are excellent. The billiard-room is 2S x 21, with everything new and first-class. It is lofty, well lighted, and also well ventilated. 4s a means of rapid exit in case of fire, there is an outside staircase connecting with the upper landing. From the balconies visitors can obtain an unrivalled view of-the harbour, and on Regatta Day gentlemen can drop into the numerous easy chairs, smoke their cigars, and watch the competing vessels in ease and comfort. Before closing these notes on the North Shore wo must not omit to mention that the triangular reserve ceded by the Admiralty will form a very convenient resort, and when put in order will be highly appreciated as a public pro menade. The general extension of tho town has been very marked during the year, upwards of a hundred houses having been built, nnd others are in course of erection at the present timo. The connecting link be tween the city and the North Shore is the splendid ferry service, ably conducted, and which has done so much towards advancing the district and inducing people to take up their abode in this beautiful, healthy, and. fashionable locality.

THE ONEHUNGA RACES.

The Onehunga Racing Club Meeting on Saturday passed off most successfully, and the promoters must havo felt especially gratified at the large attendance of visitors who were present. The racing throughou tho afternoon was rather of an interesting description, but an unpleasantness occurred in the Pony Race, it being alleged that tho rider of Mignonette—the winner—failed to declare_7lb overweight, which he carried. A meeting of the stewards took place, and after hearing the evidence, the protest en tered was disallowed. All the officers of the Club worked hard to make the gather ing a success, and Mr Owen McGee is to be complimented on the way ho handled tho starter's ffag. Thanks to the telegraph, we were enabled to publish the results of tho principal races in Saturday's issue, and we now complete our report. Onehunga Cup Handicap of COsovs; lg miles.
