GERALD MASSY'S LECTURE.

Mil GbkaU) MASSKY lectured on Sunday in tlio Opern House, under the titlo, "A Pago from tho Book of My Life." a lecture descriptive of his conversion to Spiritualism, and hia experience of its phenomena. Thirty-three yeara ago ho went to see a young clairvoyants whoso first knowledge of him occurred when she was in it state of magnetic trance She whs tho daughter of tho" Key. James Burns, IJ.U , and subsequently became the lecturer's wife Mr Mamey proceeded to detail somo remarkable evidences of her power, land iuidontftlly mentioned that tho cate Lord Lytton was ono of t'.iose who studied tho phenomena of wliichsho was the medium. Tho lecturer explained how ho became convinced of the genuineness of spirit communication, and asserted that whilo ho was engaged in writing his work upon Shaksporo's sonnets, ho obtained, by means of planchctto writing, communi cations from superior intelligences of tho unseen world, wliieh displayed infinitely more knowledge of the subject ho was think ing; about than ho himself possessed. Eventually his wifo becamo controlled by a male spirit of demoniacally vicious character, and tho resulting phenomena were thoso described in hid " Tale of Eternity. This was the darkest chapter of hid life. binco then hid contact with tho spiritual world was as real to him as woe hia connection with the natural world. Socrates was a clairaudient, St. Paul was an abnormal spirit medium, and Ezra wroto under spirit inllucuco tho Books of the Pentateuch. Mr Alastoy concluded by cay ing that modern spiritualism was a torriblo iconoclastic maco with which to smite into alums tho idols of orthodox Christian belief, and that Christianity's end was approaching now that it had lost iU ancient power to persecute

This fact shows at onco that tho Town Clerk's oilice is most miserably managed, Surely it is the Town Clerk's duty to see that these arrears of rates are Munptually paid. Tlie Councillors are apparently not disposed to retnovo tlio Town Clerk and admit new blood in tho form of a solicitor who will discharge the joit.t office j peihaj s they arc afraid to admit a sinuigtr behind tho scene?, especially v solicitor, in ca-:o something unpleasant ia brought out. I am informed on good authority that oy v twenty ratepaje.s bave 10 coiyed threatening demands to pay for rates that' they had already paid, and in proof of which they tendered tho official receipts. Other ratepayers who were summoned, and oven where judgmont was obtained, successfully resisted a double payment by producing receipt?. Some who had lest their receipts had to quietly pay over again. But some ot those who paid twice were aflor wards fortunate in finding tho lo ; t acknowledgment, and upon presentation re ceived back their moneys. In tho faeo of these fact?, who wjll b.e bold enough to say what is the extent of the present mis management? Who can guess how many citizens are yet to bo wronged by further disclosures '> I challenge the officials to pub lish (say in the Kvenixci Star) a list showing each defaulter's name, residence, occupa tion, and amount, In all decency let us have a change of officers, that a eleun and wholesome exposure may eventuate.

THE SALVATION ARMY AND ITS WORK.

Marshal Booth Interviewed.

Marshal Balltnoton Booth, second son of tho general and founder of the Salvation Army, arrived on Sunday from tho South, and 'is at present sojourning at the resi dence of Mr Alex.' Mackie in Chapel-street, A membsr of our reporting staff inter viewed him there yesterday morning, and in the course of a conversation, extending over an hour, obtained a largo amount of information with respect to tho operations of tho army botli hero and elsewhere. The Marshal is a young man of 26 years, very tall of stature, rather slim of figure, with a slight etoop in the shoulders, and with regular and pleasing features.and cleur complexion of a light oiive hue. He was very communicative, ovidently sanguine of temperament, and decidedly superior in intellectual calibre to the generality of the ollicera. There were also present Major Barrett (who succeeds Major Pollard in command of tho Now Zealand divisional district) and two of the local ofiioers.

Strength and Success of tho Organisation,

In answer to a question as to tho approximate strength of tho Army and its present standing in Great Britain, tho .Marshal said—" Tho latest intelligence ' from the General, my father (contained in a letter that I havo just received), is most encouraging. There seems to be v prevalent opinion that tho work in tho United King dom is declining, but auch an idea is entiroly erroneous. In London we havo a building at Clapton holding about 5,000, which is crowdod every Sunday ; tho Eagle Inn and adjacent building in City Road, which also have no surplus space; a largenow building in Camberwcll, generally sofullthatpeoplehave to be refused admission; and a depot in the neighbourhood of Kegent-street, which has proved very successful. A very noble work is carried on in connection with the Cellar, Gutter,and Garret Brigade, and it is largely through its efforts, combined with those of Mies Booth and other members of my family, that the social evil has been brought so nromineniily under public notice. Their efforts in this direction have won the re cognition of Mr John Bright and the Queen. I can only speak approximately of the strength of tho Army, but I think it may safely be estimated at about 480,000 ; that is, of persons who hold passes to abstain from liquor, and, in tho majority of cases'also, to abstain from tobacco. Thank God ! To think time the organisation is only in is 'JOth year, and yet has increased so wonderfully as to number its tens and hundreds of thousands ! I consider this progress, sir, an unassailable answer to our strongest opponents' question, "Has this movement the tignot of God?" The Australian Colonies. You are right in assuming, so far aa their leading towns are concerned, that tho people of the colonies are superior in intelligence to the work ing claes population of Great Britain. I (md colonials in the cities shrewd, well informed, warmhearted, and hospitable, but those resident in tho country districts approximate closely (o the people among whom wo aro accustomed to labour at Homo. Hero Ido not find the degradation, poverty, and distress so common at Home ; but still I find as large a proportion of that class of people for whose ame lioration tho Salvation Army is so peculiarly adapted as I should in Great Britain. Our succoas in the colonies has beon unquestionable, and that.too, although it is only about three years since we began operations. We havo a permanent stand ing in South Australia. New South Wales, Tasmania, and New Zealand, and we are just breaking ground in Queensland. South Australia and Victoria. In South Australia alone we have 36 station?, and in my recent tour of that colony I ascertained that a vast amount of'social, as well as spiritual good, has been effected through our instrumentality. Alargenum bor of people thcro havo been reclaimed from inebriety and infidelity. In fact, there aro two of our Adelaide converts who had formerly takon a prominent part in tho Frcethought movement. In Victoria, we havo done a wonderful work. The Prison Gate Brigade is accomplishing a real refor mation. Somo 700 men havo been met on their release from tho Melbourne Pentridge and up-country gaols, and tho majority of them havo been won to ways of sobriety and virtue. The rescue of fallen sisters ha? also been happily successful. It is estimated that nearly 400 havo passed through our homes in Victoria, and that fully a third of that number havo been reclaimed. The combined Army of South Australia and Victoria comprises about 22,000 soldiers.

Now South Wales and Tasmania.

In New South Wales wo havo about

15,000, and in that colony tho work we have done is truly marvellous, while the organi- Fntion is still spreading like a prairie firo. Tho colony contains 36 of our stations and 58 outposts. Wo havo just comine'nced opnrat ionsamonfj the fallen womonwilh a Sal vation Sistera'Brig.ido,and though their work has not yot boon proporly systematised, yet as many as 5 or 0 women have been rescued in one ovenlng in Sydney alonr. Wo pro peso that certain female soldiers shall be appointed to regularly visit tho houses of ill f line and other centres of social vice, with a view to persuading the young women found therein to go to tho Barracks Thenco thoy will be received into the Home, and after a little plain religious instruction thoy will bo drafted off to respectable situations. The local officers will cxercifo surveillance over them their attendance at tho meetings will bo required, and a woekly correspondence will bo kept up between thorn, and tho matron, after the method followed by my mother in her similar organisations nt Home. I called at Tasmania on my way to Xew Zea land, and found tho Army firmly established in both Tlobart and Launceston. The Mayor of tho latter city recently laid the foundation stone of our new barracks, and twonty loading citizens ga,ve their names as collateral security for thooost. In Hobart, we havo just purchased a churcli at some thing over £1,000, and the Tasmanian Colonial Treasurer has offered to give publio testimony to tho value of our work,

Now Zealand and Queensland,

! Though wo have not been long in th:g , colony, wo already number some 10.000 • rank and filu. Tho irork done has exceeded . • my most sanguine expectations. In Christ \ church,:wo hare 500 soldiors, in Dunedin - 400, in Wellington 200 to 250, in Auckland I over 200, and in Blenheim, where wo have just celebrated our flrst anniversary, we have 200 out of a total population of 8,000. > Our operations, too, among the Maoris, are progressing, ar.d we havo two younf( t Maoris who are being trained to - form the nucleus of n Maori army, I Except our War Cry Brigade and tho . I'rison Gate Brigade in Auckland, we have ■ no special branches of work in this colony. A second Prison Gate Brigade is about to 'bo formed at Chrtstchurch. Tho local : organisation for tho rcsouo of fallen women ; is not connected with our Army, although I ■ believe tho matron is one of our soldiers, In Queensland wo aro just breaking Ground at Brisbane and Ipswich. Staff Captain Wlight and his energetic wifo (a native of Auckland) havo only bpsn at Bijsbane some five weeks, and already 25 soldiers have been enlisted. Invasion of China, I havo just received my father's sanction to commence operations in China, and on my ret urn to Australia, f-ix weeks honco, 1 will lead tho first oonlingont thither. Wo shall take with ua sonio of tlio converted Cbiueso of Sydney and Melbourne. ' who aro now receiving tlio necessary military training, and cur intention is to establish ourselves at goino of the protected ports, say Hong Kong, Canton, and Shanghai Following tho example of Major Tucker in India and Ceylon, wo.shall a6«ume the Chinese dress-but (laughingly) I don't know about tho pigtails-and wo shall take to Chino.-0 fopj, trying, as far 0,9 possible, to como down to tho level of the Chinese thenudves. Operatlono ElsowUoro.

I have just learnt from my father that work hag boon successfully inmigurafed in Germany under StaiT-Ollieor SohaiF, and that two suitablo men aro übout to be (iospatched to establish posts in the W eat Indies. My eldesteisler, iJi.«s Booth, or "la Maicehule" aa she is called, in at tlio head of tho French and Sw'ss organisa tions. My second t ittor, Misa Emma booth takes tlio oversight of tho Young Women's National Training Home, and my eldest brother, Mrßramwell liooth(K) months older (ban myself), being head of tlio stuff, has (lie Kunerul direction of the officer* in Great Britain. 1,, America mo ba\e£ooofllccM,andoperationshavojußtbeen started in Ohioapo.

I may say, however, that his office is not hereditary. Ilia successor will bo a God. appointed man.
