Tho Roy. J. a. Hill at the Foresters' Hall. Ai.akgi: audienco gathered last ovening in the above hall for tlio purpose of listening to tho locturo of tho Roy. J. 8. Hill on " Essential Christianity," which waß dolivored under the auspices of tho Auckland Rationalist Associa tion. Mr Mouzor occupied tho chair, and briefly Introduced tho speaker, and spoko of the high estoem folt by the Rationalists for tho speaker. Mr Hill, on coming forward, was received with applause Ho expressed his pleasure at being presont that ovening. Ho felt that Christiana wero often mifirepreaented and misunderstood. He thought that It was therefore only fair that ono of the Christians Bhould bo called upon to speak about tho essentials of Christianity. No ono had a true Idea of Christianity who had not discovered in it good tidings. UnloßS this was found, thon they did not understand true Christianity. Most inquirers made a wroßg start in searching for true Christianity. It was something within that appealed, not to the mind, but to something within. He could con ceive perfectly uneducated people being true Christians. The proper s.udy of Christian ity was Christians. In approaching ih) investigation of essential Christianity, they must loam the iirat principles, and then go forward step by step. Ono of the first principles waß that " God is love." That all Christians would aJmit. Anothor princlplo was that " Christ died for all." Ho did not think It fair to commence the investigation by starting with tho difficulties ho considered that ho ha_ found in tho Bible. Christianity was tho bread of lifo of tho soul, and all thoy asked was that they would taste it. Inttcad of doing this thoy commenced auslysing the bread and trying to discover its origin. Christianity was life; Ha essential was that which changed Saul, tho persecutor, into Paul the proachcr. It waß also that which caused Zacchouu to givo back tho money to those he had robbed. Ho did not propose to deal with the dogmas <f va'ious religions. A tiuo athoiat was without God, but still ho did not necessarily believe that thero was no God. (Applause.) Agnostics did not necessarily bellevo that thore waa no God. They merely said that thoy did not know a God. Somo Agnostics were still true Christians. There was In all something that defined to men what waa right or wrong ; but ho did not propose to deal with that. He be hoved that Christianity taught thorn about God as a father, and about Christ as a Saviour. Thoy did not find that revealed In nature, It was left to Christianity to do that. It showed him as listening to evcrj sigh from humility. Ksaentinl Christianity revealed to them a per fect man aaa pattornfor ihom to Imitate. It alio showed light on man's otigin and de6tlny. It was not absolutely necessary to know any thing about those tilings in order to bo saved. Chriataulty delivered man from tho guilt and power of sin. Sin was personal disloyalty to what ought to bo, and Christianity provided tho remedy for this. Kesontial Christianity was mcroly taking tho remedy provided by God, even an thoy would take a remedy provided by a phTblula- who understood lho disease. It was notnecotsary for ihom to understand the disease, but merely to havo faith in tho oYclor. Ho holievod th»t Christ had beon their substitute for sin, and that in behoving that thoy wero saved, Tho ono thing essential was to lot Guddo whatllowas wailing to do—raro for thorn. From God came nil tho light md lovo In tho universe. Christianity did not appeal so much lo the reason as to the affections of a man. A Christian obtained a now conception i.f Goa by prayer. To the diing man ho would r,uy that God's lovo for him was tbe essential of Christianity. Perhaps thoy could not understand that. Still It was essential Christianity, aud could only bo found out by trying. Lot tlicni couvince him that his life was not now ennobled by his faith in God and Christ. (Applause.) Perhaps thoy hud expected him to spe-ikof Ihodocu-inesof his Churoh. but such ivaa not his intention ; they were not the essia tlnls of Christianity, but meruy tho dovelop ni nls. When thoy saw impurities in ministers and Christians tncy Wero'-not essential Chris tianity. That was simply lovo, lovo. lovo. No ono understood Christianity unless they had first put on Christ and tried Him. They were all going on down to tho grave, and ho would Bay to them that Christ hao died for thsm. and that thoy might bo eavod if they chose to accept Him. (Applause.) —The Chairman then Invited discussion, and remarked that Mr Hill had takon the wind out of the sails of these who had been looking up tho Athanasian creed, be cause tho speaker was a clergyman. Stilt he thought that tho procodtue was a W-C one, as Mr Maion had already given his ideas upon tho question. (Laughter.) Soveral spcakors then addressed the meeting from vari ous poinis of the matter. Tho meeting closed after according a vote of thanks to the Rev. Mr Hill.

ST. STEPHENS BAND OF HOPE.

St. Stephen's Prabyterian Band of Hope had another lino mooting on Tuosday n'ght. Mr Q VV. Owen, who occuplod tho chair, mado a few remarks about tho beneOclal results of his non alcoholic experience. He had always takon a groat Interest in tho Temperance movement for tho last 40 years, whon it waß locked upon in a very rilfl'orcnt light from what it is now. Mr Jamoa Nelson. Vice-President, also spoke for a short time. He uricd tho young pooplo to fotm a slrongor hatred than over for tho drink which produced so much misery and slu in tho world. The Roy. J. a Jones, Ponsonby Baptist, gavo a forcible speocli which was listened to with great attention by tho youngsters, who seemed to thoroughly enjoy the stories and Illustrations with which tho speaker enlivened his romarkß. Miss Carlaw and Master MoLood reoitod very well. The mooting closod with tho Benediction. Tho Band of Hope is now nearly 200 strong, and tho Committee assort that they are going to commence the new year with greater vigour than ovor. Their efforts aro ably seconded by Mr F. J. Bennett, tho President, and the various Vice-Presidents. Thoy aro very fortunate In having as their Superintendent Mr R. 8. Barry, who is well known In this city as a master of elooutlon. Mr Graves Aickin, Chairman of the Cham ber of Commerce, is in receipt of tho follow ing letter by the San Francisco mail: —" 7 Wostminstor Chambers, London, S. W„ 31stOctober, ISSS.

AUCKLAND CO-OPERATIVE DRAPERY AND CLOTHING COMPANY, LIMITED, CANADA BUILDINGS, AUCKLAND. TO THE PUBLIC. Ladies and Gentlemen,— I take this opportunity of expressing my einrere thanks to you for your kind patron age cxtonJed to mo during the many years 1 have been in business as Draper anil Clothier. I also bog to inform you that "l havo sold my Stock and Premises to tho Auckland Cooperative Drapery and Clothing Company, Limited, and would solicit for them the same patronage so kindly bestowed upon me. I am, Ladies and Centlemon, Yours Respectfully, S. COOMBES & CO. NEW ZEALAND F ROZEN M EAT & STORAGE COMPANY. LIMITED. CAPITAL, £200,000; CALLED UP, £100,000. DIRECTORS: A. Bull, Esq. D, L. Murdoch, Esq. J. Banks, Esq. L. D. Nathan, Esq. P. Comiskey, Esq. Hon. J. Williamson. Sir F. Whitaker, X C.M.G. The Company begs to notify to tho public that the works at Auckland and tho Waitara have now beon completed, and constitute tho most extensive Meat-proserving and Free ing Works in New Zealand. WHOLESALE MEAT MARKET AND SHIPPING DEPOT Ia now open at tho Company's Works at tho Railway Wharf, whero Town and Country orders will be attended to with the utmost promptness and despatch. Tho Company can rofor with con-donee to the superior quality of its I'rimk Meat, as selected for the market from largetquantities of first-class West Coast stock, dealt with at tho Company's Worka, Waitara. SALT BEEF. Special attention is directed to tho Company's brand in this line, which, with tho faci lities afforded by the cold-air process, can bo curod in mild picklo, and tho noccaeity of cutting up in small pieces obviated. As contractors for H.M. Navy, here and in Sydnoy, largo stocks aro kept on hand. BACON-CORING. The Cooling Chambers for Bacon-curing at the Company's Works In Auckland aro now so far advanced that this Now Industry has boon commoncod, and choice Hams and Bacon can bo offered curod on the most modern principle Particular attention will be paid to the selection of Pios for this use, and on no account will any excopt Dairy or Corn Fkd Pigs be purchased, as it is purposed to build up a reputation for on Auckland Ham and Bacon Factory. MEAT-PRESERVING, This branch ia equal to an output of 120,0001b5, per diom, and tho Company has the greatest confidence in recommending its PRESERVED MEATS As superior to (anything of tho kind heretofore offered to the publio. The Company wonld specially call attention to the fact that the COMHRESSED CANNED BEEF AND MUTTON, 17AOKED IN THE SQUARE CAN ' (The right to whioh is patented), is the first samplo from any part of tho world thot has been able to compete successfullyjin the London Market with the boat Chicago brands. Hitherto the Colonial meats packed in tho round cans, although called compressed moats, wero only saleable in the English markets, whero a low prico was tho first consideration,' but meats of tho New Zealand Packing Company, submitted in competition for Admir alty supplies at Deptford Dockyard, were awarded tho highest commendation, and placed on the register of accepted brands. The following extract from the letter of the Company's Agents in London, tho New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company (Limited), is reforred to, who write ac follows :—••■;.' " We have the pleasure to hand you herewith an extract from a lottor received from tho Wat Offloe, Army Department :—" Samples of tho Poach Brand of tho Now Zealand Pecking Co submitted by you, have been tested and provcd„and the Brand will bo added to tho Selected Lle't of the Department" This now entitling yon to the privilege o! couip tint?, we therefore tendered on your behalf at 60s3d per 1121b; aud to-day were gratified to hear that tho offer had been accepted notwithstanding.that It was 9d per owt. higher than the leading American brands. Bhowimr that the quality wastully appreciated." Consequent upon tho temporary stoppage of production during the transfer of tho Company's Meat-preserving Works from Auckland to Waitara, and owing to the fact that tho reserve which had been relied upon to meet current demands was taken by tbe Mew South Wales Government for the Soudan expedition, tho Company has been unablo to comply with numerous demands from customers, but are now prepared to execute with promptitude all orders with which they may bo favoured. WHOLESALE BUTTER DEPOT. The Company is about to opon a large Wholesale Butter Depot at their Freezing Works, Railway Wharf. Cooling Chamberß and the necessary plant are now being prepared. It ia anticipated that with the appliances, .cold-air chambers, and facilities for dealing with the evor-mcreasing surplus, the Comp,t_y will be able to offer a regular and satisfactory market for Dairy Produce.

Communications may at once be andreitsed to them, Tho utmost care will be taken in M-" -• V •': •> of S-itter for table use. This will be made up^freah every morning. An o-'iii, i j ~visible, wholesale ordors of Butter will bo delivered m refrigeraited carts, so that.retailors will be able to obtain a day's supply each morning, and householders, by insisting upon being supplied with the Company's Brands of Butter, will obtain a table dolicacy throughout the jtear. The department will be under the management >of Messrs Glanville and Ellyett, whose Butter Business is being taken over by the Company. ACID AND MANURE WORKS.
