THE REV. J.H. JONES ON TEMPERANCE.

Yestekday morning the Rev. J. H. Jones, j pastor of tho Baptist Church, Ponsonby, preached, by request, an admirable sermon j on temperance, from I, Cor. viii., 13: J " Therefore, if meat make my brother lo offond, I will oa. no flesh whilo tho world , standelh, lest I make my brother to offend." The principle involved in ' the text, the preacher observed, was that what was in itself lawful might be rendered unlawful; or, in other words, what was right might bo made wrong, and thus provo a most serious and detri mental stumbling-block to others. The Ctiri. tian C.iurch. at one time, did not deem it [roper to interfere with the vice of drunkenness, but of late years it has vigorously aroused itself from its long culpablo remissness to a right sense of tho duty incumbent upon it of doing all it could in the opposito direction, for the laudable purposo of counter acting, as fur as possible, that soul destroying ovil. Until about a hundred yoars ago, Sunday Schools were not established, mid Christians of the present day marvelled that so excellent an institu tion for imparting spiritual instruction to the young did not exist earlier. It was clearly tho bounden duty, as well as the privilege of the Church, and of every lover of Christ, to put forth increased efforts to stem tho torrent of intemperance, which was producing indescribable misery, poverty, crime, wretchednoss, death anil sin in all directions. As the possession of divine grace in the heart was tho most effectual antidote for in temperance, as well as for all other infractions of the laws of Heaven incidental to fellow man, Christians should, by their prayers, pre copts, example and works, endeavour to be instrumental in rescuing their brethren from tho vortex of drunkenness. Tho immoderate drinkers wero the sons and daughters of the moderate imbibers. If thero were no modorato drinkers In the present age, thero would be no immoderate drinkers in the next. Tho partaking of one glass was undoubtedly an introduction to tho swallow ing of many more in the majority of many instances. All the Christian churches in Auckland and elsewhere should heartly combino to do battle with the demon of intoxication, which w a) engulphing co many in both temporal and eternal ruin,

LECTURE BY CHARLES BRIGHT.

At the close of Mr Blight's lecture last ni^ht, the Chairman (Mr W. Cooper) an nounced tho intended issue of a woekly Freethought r-ewspaper under the editor ship of "lvo," and stated that tho »xperif. inent would be carried on for at least thr.e months.

Mr Charles Bright, tho popular Free thought lecturer, delivered last evening in tho Opera Houso.before a largo audionce.tho first of a series of eight lectures, its title being " Vanity Fair ; or, tho Nearer the Church the Further from God." Mr W. Cooper presided. Mr Bright began by expressing the satis faction ho felt in being privileged to resume his acquaintance with the Auckland public. It was tho fourth series of lecture- that ho had to deliver hero, and things had considerably changed from tho timo of his liret advent, when the bravery of the late Rev. Samuel Edger in taking the chair at his lectures provoked deeply tho bile of the orthodox. The Frccthought propaganda had made great strides in advance since then, and in spite of the cry '• Persecute him I prevent him!" knowledge was spreading on all sides. His lecture that evening had been partly suggested by a visit ho had paid to the exhibition termed the Oriental Fair, which bad been going on In the Choral Hall, and a very fair exhibition of its kind too. The scenic effects wero the dresses of tho young ladies rendered them very pretty to look upon ; the Maypole dance of the cl ildren was very picturesquo, and Jorloy'i. raxworks, albeit imateurish, were decidedly creditable _ As i competitive amateur theatrical exhibition it had been a giea. success, al though hardly fair to tho lessees of the regular places of amusimont, who went to great exponse and had to pay Heavily for tho privilege of c..teri>" . fui the dramatic tastes of tl c people, lb was not the thing itself that I c found fault with, but tho pitiful hypocrisy that lurked behind it. Tho people who bad been running and taking part in these theatrical poiformanees were just those who decried and denounced tho legitimate drama. Tho young ladies who had promoted the ruflk-s would shudder at tho bare idea of selling racing sweep tickets, or of countenancing betting upon a racecourse, and the gymnastic exhibition in another place would have been voted low. If this sort of tiling wero carried on a Httlo further, we should be having biggor break towns upon " the rock ol ages," and a tableaux rivaiit of tho Bleeping beauty, '•safe in tho aims of Jesus." We -hould be having public-houses carried jn by tho Church Temperance Society, and the proceeds of the beer irinking therein devoted to the propagation of tbe "Holy Spirit." Tho lecturer went _n to trace tho evolution of religious ideas, md in doing so he pronounced a warm julogium upon Victor Hugo.

MR BRYCE ADDRESSES HIS CONSTITUENTS.

(l!Y TELEGRAPH.—PRBSS ASSOCIATION.)

I'atea, Sunday. Mr Bhyce addressed a wellnttonded meet ing of his constituents last night at Waver loy. Ho said he last addressed them as a Minister of the Crov.n, but now he was a member of Her Majesty's Opposition. He would touch the moio salient point of iho District 11-ilway Bill, which authorised .ho lento or purchase of railways. The district railways have been found to be largo .peculating companies. They were formed to enhanco tbe value of property through which they passed, and had not been sue cessful as going concerns. They were iound not to pay nosy. The companies' objects had been attained, and now they come to the Government and say, Take over the lines. Tho lines might havo been taken over, but it should be on terms favourable to the colony. At present it was understood that the valuo was to bo not tho cost, but tho cost with arrears of rates superadded. These companies bad got a vote of the ratepayers, but tho shareholders and ratepayers were almost the same, and it did not add to the comforttofind Sir Julius Vogol a shareholder and Chairman of Directors of one of these comp n es, and Mr Stout thoir solicitor. Ho wouldnotEaytberewasanything corrupt, but it did not add to their comfort to find that the necessary powor to arrange, on be half of the company, rested with these members. The Government bill was re jected in the Upper House, but they wero so anxious to get it passed that Govern ment really re-embodied the bill in reso lutions, and asked tho House to pass them. The House did so. Many disliked the bill,;.but did hot vote again.t it, tor fear of throwing out others they wanted. The East and West Coast Railway Construction Bill proposed to iorm a huge Cjinpany to make the lino. It was strange that a Government which professed to be anxious to conserve the lands of tho Crow n should be prepared to grant a million to a million oiid a-balf of acres to a syndicate. Ho took (.-..c-pt'.on to tho statement that the land was bad and rocky. It certainly contained valuable coalfields, and might tap valuable minerals. Tho bill also had a provision that if the land in the vicinity was not sufficient to pay half tho cost of construction, the land might bo taken Elsewhere. Such a policy, he belt', was bad in principle, and should not bo tolerated for a moment, but in addition to this provision the Govern ment were to take over the railway when complete and give tho company 35 per cent, of the gross earnings, without regard to whether tho railway paid or not. He con tended that any Minister who would advo cate such a thing had not tho interest of the colony at heart.

Borrowing.

In addition to the_e, the present Govern

■".tit was to put straight the finance. This wis_ terribly wrong, and must be put »tri)iglit. ihe following authority was taken for borrowing .- — For the North I.land Trunk Kailway, £1,000,000 ; loan of 1884, ._l,500,000; loan to the extent of accrued Sinking Fund, £2,792,808 ; loan to the extmt of Sinking Fund this year, £244,000. In addition to this direct loan, authority for indirect borrowing power was obtained: For Westport Colliery, £500,000 guaranteed debentures, £100,000 ; Otago Harbour BoirJ, £7.0,000— bringing tbe total amount of borrow i; g -.utiioriso'l in one sessi ;ii to £3,436,508.

Hi.,' mon bon ami (to quote " MercutioV on ' particular and pet Gallicism), laefcawrra*''' ness, for many celebrated _.renbhm.h_i.»i: died since I have been here, and yet; Victor f Hugo is the first of whom I have (tared to write a biographical sketch for an EngM '., newspaper. True, some three or four yean ago, I was asked by a* reporter of tie' "Herald " if I knew anything abou._da.i_. die L umas ; (or, as a woodcut portraitof ttutt" novelist was to appearin the' 'Weekly News,' • they wanted a short notice, and'conldnc. find any reference in their greatiy-mtd " Dictionary of Biography," Du_daß,bavi_g been dead for a long time. I then wbte a short article, and as it did not appear under my name, but was credited, perhaps, to "Mercutio," Ido not Relieve it-fan be io that he alludes in saying: -"When the sepulchral bell tolls, etc." As for the article on Gambetta, I shall- respectfully dfe^ - ■' Mercutio's" attention to the "feet that'; it was simply a resume of, a lecture j delivered boforo the French "Literary: . Society two years after "the great patriot's death. Of course, my iamtmmai: exercitation may appear to "Mercnlio" to sarour of egotistical imperluienci,wL alsoT as an unwarranted' poachiiig upon ii biographical preserves ; but a great many who havo enjoyed Victor Hugo's works fill admit that, on seeing suchapoor article aa the one published by the ".Herald,"it tfuy n»y duty, as a Frenchman, to bring to light in this part of the world the real character., '■; ietics and merits of ono of the greatestmenci this century, and to write the article which put "Mercutio" in such, an u_ai_iiable frame of mind. Why co ? tfemeledtmandt,:' Kow, as for the inaccuracy, I mentioned in . my article, I still maintain it, because,,My "Mercutio" said, "I know a great deal better" than he, at all events., What I , mean is this : -Victor Hugo,, af tor having tent his resignation to M. GriSvy, went to Paris, where I was at the'time;, not-to. Brussels, aa Btated iv the ."'Herald," It was only three months after ho went to Belgium, not to 6eek refuge, since le va not expelled from France. This, ia the in accuracy. "Mercutio" ia rather un fortunate in his witticisms;: but.;* . Bishop Luck said on a memorable occasion, transeat (let that pass). In con clusion, since competition' annoys .jour excellency, I shall try, dear " MercuteUi not to assume again the ex cathedra airs, ot which you appear to enjoy the mbjjWiV and not to be ludicrous enough to make toe apotheoais of my countrymen, bo much so, that as Victor Hugo was the last.'gi*"; Frenchman, 1 shall not have to tun to account the misfortunes of'my country.
