UNITED MEETING OF METHODISTS.

Pursuant to announcement, a large gather ing of tho various sections of tho Methodist Church in Auckland met in tho Pitt-street Churches last evening, at half-pact 7 o'clock. The meeting was opened by devotional ex ercises, conducted by the Rev. A. Reid, after which he called upon the Rev. R. Bavin to preside. In a well-chosen address the Chairman reforred to tho history of the Union from its beginning to the present, showing tho progress already made. He said there were a few difficulties, but these

were comparatively nothing in comparison to the grand results which were anticipated. He was in favour of union, and that at once. There was nothing to be gained by delay, and he hoped the present social gathering would greatly aid in furthering the cause they had espoused. Tho Roy. T. G. Care read the minutes of the last Union Committee mooting recently hold in Christchurch; they were abridged as follows: — "Tho opinion of the representatives was, that tho large majority of tho members of thoso churches were prepared to enter tho Union on tho basis. Tho Primitive Methodist brethren stated that in their opinion their churches would all join the Union ; possibly there might be a few dis sentient members. In the Bible Christian churches there are a few who do not at present sco theirway clear to join theUriion; but, substantially, tho churches were pro pared to entor tho Union on the basis." The Committee carried tho following resolutions amongst others:—" That it be recommended to tho lirst Conference that tho first ap pointment of ministers be as a rule to cir cuits in tho denominations to which they belonged." "The Committee expresses a hope that tho first Conference will bo able to give attention to evangelistic effort by tho appointment of district and general mis sionaries." The Committee agreed to recom mend that the hymn books at present in u?e shall be continued in use until the Con ference shall otherwise determine. As it was fully expected that the coming together of the churches would bo tho signal for qggressive work throughout the colony on s*scalo not before attempted, a resolution was adopted in view of tho need of such work, recommending tho establishment of a special fund, to bo called tho New Zealand Methodist Union and Church Extension Fund, to be • raised in England and elsewhere, and that a Buitablo minister be set apart for a year to visit Great Britain, in order to promote this object. In bringing the proceedings of the Committee to a close, the Chairman said there were difficulties, but there was every prospect that by cherishing such a spirit as had marked that meeting, tho union would be happily consummated. Mr I). Goldie, who was one of tho Union Committee, was called upon by the Chair man to give tho audience some account nf the meeting from his personal recollections of tho sittings. Mr Goldie bogan in a humourous way by alluding to his past efforts at public speaking in ■ the I'itt-streot Church; on one occasion ho broke down, and on another he could not bo properly heard by tho audience. The speaker, in a brief address, gave some valu able information on the subject of " Union : Its Difficulties, and tho Way to Clear them Off," and showed most conclusively that union was the right and proper thing, and would triumph at last.

When the Chnii man's bell rang (at the fif teen minutes !imit)tlio audience would have been pleased that Mr Goldie had gone on, as his remarks wero rivettingtho attention. The address by the Rev. S. Macffarlane on Methodist Theology was characteristic of tho speaker. It was a dry subject to begin with, but Mr Mocfarlane put lifo into it, and with an eloquence (natural to the man) ho appealed to the hearts and minds of the people, showing what they were taught to do and what they could do, if they worked Methodism in earnest.

Mr G. Brown represented the lay workers of tlio Union. He gave a very excellent and pointed address upon the vaiioug agencies at work among the Methodist Churches. He showed that everyone that was worthy of the name ought to bo at work in tho great cause, and daro not shirk this responsibility. The main point of his address, viz., lay preaching, was unfortunately left out, owing to the re lentless ring of the time bell. Mr Brown's speech was an earnest appeal, and the aiuliunce testified their approval by applause at tho close. "Methodism and the Evangolisation of tho Masses" found an excellent ex ponent in tho Rev. W. S. Potter. lie whowed what .Methodism had done, and what she could do if only faithful to her noble calling. He gave a withering rebuke, to the over-respectable Churches of Metho dism who had become rich, and whose apparent aim just appeared to have fine choirs, and splendid oratory in the ministers and who would perhaps be astounded if a few score of the " great unwashed " were ushered into their chapels on the Lord's Day, in anxiety to hear the Gospel. He showed the low state of moral depravity in our New Zealand cities, which was alarm ing to those who were in earnest to lift up the fallen and degraded. This speech of Mr Potter's was one of the best he has ever delivered in Auckland. The Rev. A. Reid came forward at the bidding of the Chairman, and with his usual fervour, pointed out tho possible gains to Methodism by the Union. At the outset he entered his solemn protest against one clause in the Union report, as read by the "Rev. T. G. Carr, which was to the effect " That the Union Committee suggested that a fund be raised outside the colony, in Eng land or America and other countries,for the furtherance of Church extension in NewjZea land, and that a minister be set apart to travel to England, etc., to collect the need ful." Mr Reid just appeared enraged at such a mean suggestion that they were to go a begging outside the colony to help them to do their domestio work. His re marks on this head were loudly applauded. There were some in the auditory who also thought with Mr Reid that this new move to set apart a minister to travel for funds in other lands was a nice little affair, which would perhaps give a holiday to someone. Mr Reid's address was good, and carried home to tho hearts of those present the les sons he daily preaches and acts out in his life. Tho choir performed during the evening, but as a choir it does not appear so vigorous as in former days ; 'but it "will improve, no doubt.

HALF-YEARLY MEETING OF COLONIAL BANK.

[BT TEMQRArH.—rRESS ASSOCIATION],

Dcnedis, Wednosday. At tho half-yoarly meeting of the Colonial Bank, Mr E. B. Cargill, Chairman of Diroc tors, in moving tho adoption of the report and balance-sheet, said ho had to ask their approval to the adoption of the report which had been placed in their hands. In re ference to tho figures contained in the report, they would see that the position of the bank accounts fjr the past six months compared in many respects very favourably with previous occasions. For instance, there had been a large increase in tho de posits held by the bank, amounting since December to £205,000, and of this £142,000 was on fixed deposit bearing interest, and £G6",000 on current accounts only. They would notice that the amount of good securities held by the bank in London had also been largely increased; they amounted now to £100,000, being an increase by £38,000. It had been thougnt right by the directors to keep a strong deposit in London available in case of any contingency that might arise, Tho deposit had increased by L 54,000, and the bills discounted by LIOO,OOO. On tho other hand, the overdrafts had been reduced by i.5,000. This would show that any change which had taken place in the general position of accounts had been in the right direction. They had reduced the overdrafts, and increased bills discounted and general advances while they had been able to keep very strong in the matter of deposits. They were aware that, during tho six months just come to a close, tho state of business throughout the world had not been of a. sort to yield large profits to banking institutions. Notwithstanding this, as a community they were able to congratulate themselves that thoy had held on the even tenor oi their way. They had avoided anything like serious loss or disaster, but there had been no great accumulation of profits anywhere. Tho directors could say that they were happy to recommend shareholders to ap propriate the usual profits, which' would give a dividend of 7 per cent., and enable LIO.OOO to be carried to the reserve fund as provided by the deed of settlement. They would see that the balance of cash held in the polony was somewhat large, L 295,000, and .they had a sum of LIOO.OOO

nogotiablo securities bearing interest lying at their ofiico in London ; so they felt they were very strong to moot any contingency or adverse circumstances that mio-ht arise. Turning now to the question of profits, he had already said that they could afford to be well satisfied to recommend the appro priation as a dividend of the usual amount (7 per cent.), and the placing of LIO.OOO to tho reserve fund. The Hon. R. Campbell seconded the motion. Ho thought that, under the cir cumstances of depression, it was matter of great congratulation that the directors had been able to declare a dividend of 7 per cent., especially with tho property tax to pay. The report was unanimously adapted. Messrs J. T. Wright and J. M. Ritchie' were elected directors. Votes of thanks to the directors and officers were carried.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Sunday Concerts.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—There is a very considerable taste for music in this city, suburbs, and through out tho provincial district generally. Evi dence of this fact is found in the large trade in the sale of musical instruments and musical literature; in the excellent pat ronage given to opera in the city and to local concerts throughout the country • fa the introduction of musical instruments into church assemblies, and the com petition between churches as to which shall produce the best musical attractions.

It is well known that many . attend churches solely to listen to the music and by this class the music without tho service, rather than with the service is preferred. The Choral Society have with great spirit and liberality fo* several years given once a year a free troat of this kind, and on Sundays; and'on these occasions, though the Choral ifall had been twice as large, it would have been rilled. So much for the capability of a large portion of the Auckland public to enjoy music without a religious service. Now for the payment of the music.

We all know that a concert, whether on a Saturday or a Sunday, must he paid for by some party; and, although the members of the Choral Society can happily afford to. be generous and give their concerts free, yet these concerts cost them much, and the} might an well l^fvo mad* a charge; and 6a each. occasion they could easily hare had at least hfty pounds, which, if their Society did not require, could have been disposed of amongst on, charitable institutions.

Tho question how payment should ba made by the entertained at a Sunday concert seems to be one in which no Go vernment has any call to interfere, and may safely be left for the entertainers and tha entertained to settle between themselves, There are two modes of payment-tha fixed charge and the voluntary collection, The fixed charge has tho merit of being business-like. It places the entertainer and the entertained on an equal and reciprocal footing, The entertained pay for certain , music, the music is supplied, the engage ment between tho parties is completed, arid they aro quits. In tho voluntary collection method, tho entertainers do their part, and then adopt the r6le of the mendicant aridbeg from the entertained a charity to keep them alive until the next occasion they may en tertain them.and again beg for such charity as the entertained may dole out, Of course, you have scon a street musician grinding his tuno or singing his song, and seen also his boy amongst the crowd collecting a few coins. This is exactly the position whielris tried to be forced upon the promoter^ of, Sunday concerts. Now, we all know the'r inbred meanness of a large portion of our community—how unwilling they are to pay for anything they may get for nothing. We read every week the miserably small voluntary collections obtained at the Sun day evening Theatre services, and tne saoio fact has leaked out with regard to Mr Brown's services at the Opera House. With such people, who it appears can neither bo coaxed nor shamed into paying, it is surely better to adopt the commercial system ana make them pay for value received. - It would be good teaching—practical teaching of manliness and honesty—if every church and Sunday assembly adopted fixed charges, I have learned that at St. Patrick's* Cathedral this method is adopted, and I have not heard that it haa been challenged by the police. Entertainments where a fixed charge is made are always more orderly then free entertainments. The beggarly crowd waiting to scramble for free), crnmbs are kept outside. Payment giveß tpk the entertainment a valuo, and the man who is willing to pay has tho sen&; to behave. Tho commotion onased by:tne concert of Messrs Hullifax and Dea"n would not have occurred had not Superintendent Thomson interfered and caused the fixed charge to he abandoned; him I do n J blame, but those who " egged " him on; T hopa the legal difficulties which seem to beset Sunday concerts will soon be cleared up, and, if the difficulties are real, cleared away, for these concerts would be the supply of a want very much felt, and durlrg the winter months several could be main, tamed in thid city.—Yours, &C, ■ ' j; July 29,1884.
