"WHAT HAS CHRISTIANITY DONE FOR CIVILISATION?"

Sucii was the title of a lecture delivered at Abbott's Opera House by Mr G. A. Brown last evening. It was understood to bo a reply to Mr Bright's discourse, "What has Civilisation Done for Christianity?" and as a consequence the large building was well filled. Mr Brown introduced his sub ject by roniarking on the evils of overstating, which he considered an evidence of preju dice. Because so much was said against Christianity peoplo must not run away With the idea that all the honest men were on the other side of the fonco. He pointed out tho danger that many incurred of run ning to tho opposito extreme ; when thoy found that thoy could divest themselves of a belief in things they once held sacred they were apt to begin todoubteverything. He then proceeded to address himself to the accusations that had been made concerning tho dogmatism of Christianity. This he was not going to apologise for. because ho con sidered a certain amount of dogmatism necessary. All law was dogmatic, and Naturo herself was full of dogmas—he know that if he broke one of Nature's laws she would exaot tho penalty to tho utter most. Ho did not claim that Christianity had done everything for civilisation, nnd opponents might point to high states of civilisation before Christianity entered the arena. The cleverest writers on the other side, including John Stuart Mill, never seemed to have grasped the real pith of Christianity. It was not tho moral pre cepts of its Founder, which before His time had been uttered by Homer, Hesiod, Attre liu., Cicero—the Golden Rule even appear ing in the works of Confucius ; Christianity was a system connected with the great f icts of His life—it gave to man the hope of im mortality. It was impossible to conceive what state of things would obtain if all men and women in the world believed that-there was no future life. Unless they had a belief ma future life with something attached to it, society would not hang together, but wc all wouldcndoavour to suck as much honey from tho present as we could, no matter how we did it. Tho belief in immortality inspired love and moral heroism. History afforded few instances apart from those holding Christian doctrines who bad given thoir lives for their belief. He claimed that from the records of history there could not bo found a single instance of a nation of absolute atheists that had advanced to a high state of civilisation, and the lights of the past had all been men who had some yearning for the unseen. Ho referred to class castes as ex creeences on civilisation ; but these were not the fault of Christianity, which is the great leveller. In conclusion, he ■ said that whilst he did not attri bute all good to tho Gospel, he believed that its teachings that immortality was within the reach of all was a great civilising influence. Tho discourse, of which the above is a brief outline, was most attentively listened to. It occupied about an hour in delivery.

THE NAVAL ARTILLERY.

The Auckland Naval Artillery met at the Ride Range to compete for the Company's Club prizes, There was a good muster of members. The ranges were 200, 300, and 500 yards, Sin. bull's-eye at 200 and 300 yards—7 shots at each range. The weather was very squally during the match. Lieut. Smith was in charge of the firing. The following are the scores and names of the prize-falters :—Lieut. W. G. Smith, 75 points'; Seaman W. Brannigan, 72; P.O. Moulden, U9 points; P.O. P. Smith, 1)5 points ; Seaman J. Sa*,-ago, 58 points ; Seaman M. J. Moore, 50 points ; Seaman P. Lamb, 50 points ; Seaman J. Fenton, 48 points -, Seaman E. Moore, 4S points; Sea man C. Kecgan, 47 points. The firing for P.O. J. Clarke's medal took place at the same time, Seaman W. Brannigan being the winner. This is the second time Seaman Brannigan has won this medal, and if he can win it another time it becomes his own property.

FOOTBALL MATCHES.

Grafton v*. Albert.— The first match of the season between these clubs took place last Saturday afternoon, and resulted in a victory for Grafton by two tries (four points) to one try (two points). J. Warbrick played half • back for Grafton, notwithstanding the protests of the Albert Club. In the first spell, Dymock obtained a try for Albert, but Pulman's place-kick was a failure. Yon Stunner and Tucker both scored tries for Grafton in the second spell, but the attempts at goal by J, Warbrick were failures in both instances. The match, therefore, resulted as above.

Auckland v. Newton—Auckland won this'match by twelve points (two goals and a try) to nil. The first try was obtained by Henderson, but was disputed, and the umpires being unable to decide, Beale was entrusted with the place-kick, which was a failure. During the subsequent play, Henderson and Moginie both managed to get over the line and touchdown behind their opponent's goal posts, and-in .each case Carrol converted the try into a woll-kicked goal. Auckland thus won easily. There was a good deal of un seemly squabbling during the progress of tjie match. Hobson, one of the Newton players, was disabled at an early period of the game, and was compelled to retire.

North Shoke v. Gordon.—Tho latter Club played and won its first match against North Shoro last Saturday. The kickists of the marino suburb were repeatedly forced down in the first three spells. Wood then managed to place a try to the credit of Gordon by a good run, although tho attempt at goal was a failure. Gordon thus wins by two points to nil.

A LEGAL LOTTERY.

Those readers who paid any attention to a short telegram from Dunedin the other day stating that "in the case of Ward v. National Bank, the Court found for appel lant on all the issues," had probably little idea that the suit referred to gave a com plete illustration not only of " the law's delay," but of its sweet uncertainty. A Southern contemporary gives the following amusing sketch of the history of tho case:— Some years ago, we forget exactly when, but it seems to have been quite in the dim and distant past, a business man at .Timaru, named John King, had an Overdraft at his Bank—the National— a circumstance in which at that time he was by no means peculiar. In the course of his affaire, he found himself subjected to that unpleasent process which the most tender - hearted bankers some times find themselves compelled to resort to in order to secure an equitable division of profits between their shareholders and their customers. Ho was pressed to pay off his overdraft or to offer security for it. He selected the latter alternative, and got Judge Ward amongst others to guarantee the overdraft to the extent of £1,000. Then he came to unutterable grief, and presently vanished from the scene. The Bank applied to Judge Ward for payment of the £1,000 with interest; but ho, after sundry neeotiations, refused to pay first the interest, and then the principal, on tho ground that his co-guarantors had been re leased without his consent, and that his guarantee had thus become null and void. On this issue the Bank sued Judge Ward in the Supreme Court; but when the case can_)e on, no evidence was called* and the Bank consented to a verdict for the defendant on the facts, and decided to. apply to the Court of Appeal for a judgment on the law, non obstante veredicto. That is to say, they asked the Court of Appeal to delare that, admitting all the facts alleged by Judge Ward, the Bank were still entitled to the £1,000. The Court of Appeal decided that it was so. Judge War.d appealed to the Privy Council, and, after about six months' delay, the Privy Council upheld the judgment of the Court of Appeal. Judge Ward took no notice of this decision, and eventually the Bank sued him again in the Supreme Court at Timaru for the amount of his guarantee, with interest and costs. This time a sort of compromise was arrived at. The costs, were divided ; the claim to interest was abandoned, and it wa< agreed that the £1,000 should be deposited by Judge Ward at interest, pending a new trial at Dunedin, in which the bona fides of the Bank in accepting the guarantee in the first instance were to be investigated. If the Bank won the case, thoy were to bag the £1,000 with interest to date. If Judge Ward won it, then he was to take back his deposit with interest, and the Bank were to bo sent empty away. The trial came on re cently, and Judge Ward got a verdict on all tho issues. He therefore scoops in his origi nal £1,000 with interest and costs ; and all the litigation which has been going on for years past is absolutely thrown away ! After reading this perplexing record of see

saw litigation, one might be excusedJjl ho concluded that the practice of the, law demands the very highest qualifications In its professors, if a clear understanding of.; its Intricacies is considered! essential. The reflection is also pardonable that a reform, of our legal system is at least as much, : needed as is a re-adjustment of the con- ditions of entrance to the legal profession..

Reduction of Public-houses.

(To tho Editor.)

g lß| _Two-thirds of the ratepayers who voted at the last election of Licensing Com mittees in Auckland .md surrounding localities not only expressed themselves in ; favour of closing the publici.'ousesatten o'clock, but strongly suggested that a . further reformation should be insisted upon by a sweeping reduction in the existing number of public-houses. H,id, male and female non-ratepayers beeii allowed to record their votes at this election, the'expression on tho subject would in have doubtless amounted to that of three-; fourths of the entire population. It is, , therefore, clear enough that the people are . totally averso to the perpetuation of a >. a system of liquor traffic that is over, whelmingly ruinous to tho community, ~ spiritually and temporally; and, this. . , being so, they will naturally expect that the Licensing Committees „ will „ courageously make the requisite Our.,-..,, tailment. at the ensuing annual licensing:.., meetings without fear or favour. Out o!.;.j) 150 male and female inmates of Mount. ■ Eden Gaol at the present time, no less than 80 of them are there through drink—a stats i.... of social and moral atlairs which, of itself, . isquite sufficient to create a horror of the liquor traffic in the breasts of all right minded persons.—Yours, &c, A Citizen.
