THE SOCIETY PURITY SOCIETY

getting■» Pitt-street_Wesleyan Church. 4WBW o meeting, called for the purpose of * Social Purity Society, was It tot night in the Pitt-street Wesley an h It was but thinly attended.

During tho past ,OTI have gono monthly to tho Lock Hos _____ , or tho purpose of addressing the in rl and from what I have learned 2**7' t am convinced that thoro has been no exaggeration .In regard to the .__mt of tbia sin ; in fact, tho half 2_otbeen told. If the Christian public of Auckland know tho alarming extent of H social ovil, thoy would combine as one lan to stamp it out. Many of tho girls =«aruinod, when almost- children, by mon lio pssa aa nWlab!c I?\ o. n? bo'; s of soc' Kty- If it wero possible to publish tho names of nan frequenting houses of bad fame, it mishtdosomothing to lessen tho sin, but so £«» as men occupying prominent social msitions aro allowed to soduco girla without telne branded by their fellow-men as moral naats so long will tho ranks of tho poor infortunates bo filled. Tho indifference of _L.v parents in regard to the companion- Sips formed by their daughters goes far to ..plain the wide-spread nature of prostitu tion When young fiirla aro allowed to ittflnd parties and balls, &c , and go homo «t late hours, occompaniod by young men comparative strangers to them, you need, not wonder that bu many fall into vice. I Biraestly trußt that tho speakers Una ovon __■ will not be deterredby oversensitiveness wn speaking plainly, as the time has now come when ministers of the Gospel must ■peak out in plainest terms against the sin jblcb is corrupting so many of tho young men and young women of the colony. May iJod bless the meeting, and make it a great luecess. Please to onrol me as a member of the Society." The Key. S. Macfaiu,ani: proposed tho first resolution, viz. :— CONSTITUTION. I ThattheSoclttybo called tho "Auckland Social Purity Society." II That the Society bo composed of Annual, Life and Honorary Merabors who shall, at a fjineral Meeting to be held in September of each rair elect a Committee ol Management of not L>'than sixteen, including President, two Vice-Presidents. Secretary, and Treasurer, such Committee having power to add to their num ber :flve to form a quorum. 111 That tho rate of contribution per member blunder 18 years of age. o«o shilling per umuni: over that ago, two and sixpence per uniim', Ufa members, not less than threo guineas. Honorary mombera may bo appointed by the Committee. IV All persons over olghteen yous of age ■hall be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, and at otter meetings convoncd by the Com m!ttM' OBJECTS. L To promote true morality, and to discourago Immorality hi all relations of social life. TJ. TO advocate and promote amendments in the laws relating to 1. The protection of young females. 2 The establishment of the paternity of Ille gitimate children. 3. The Bupport and education of such chil dren, and tho responsibilities of thtir parents. 4. Beduotions, and civil actions thereon. 5. Tlio harbouring of fallon Juvenileß. (i. Prostitution. n'i. To proisoto social and moral Improve " nientby- J, Tne ciroalatlon of pure literature. l Tie suppression ol lmpr.ro literaturo. 5. The delivery of lectures on social purity. I petitions to the Legislature. 6. Efforts to reclaim tho erring, especially juveniles. PLEDGE. Ireuognlseit to be my duty, and promise by tie help of God. 1. To protect, so far as I havo opportunity, all wamen and children from degrada tion. 2. To discountenance all coarse jests and conversation and behaviour derogatory to women. 3. To maintain the equal obligation of the law of purity on men and women alike. 1, To endeavour to spread these principles among my companions, and to help by counsel and warning my brothers and • ' titters. & To nee all possible means to fulfil the Apostolic injunction, "Keop thyself pure."

The speaker stated that the pledge was not obligatory, and then went on to refer to tho need for such a society as he had proposed. If they could create a sentiment whereby a Socially sinning man would be placpd under the same ban asthe wotnan, they would have 1)0110 a great deal to check vice. Thoy would Insist upon the impartial and equal dis pensation of justice. There should be »l»w for fallen men as well as for fallen women, and it should press equally upon both. The sentiment thoy hoped to create was expected to be fruitful of result in purging decent society of indecont men, Asa cleigyman had recently stated in the coarse of a lecture delivered under tho SBspipee of the N.S.W, Purity 4ssociation ; fto first and most effective edict against tho fvU must go forth from tho drawing-room. When respectable ladies and gentlomon <*__d to fraternise with socially impuro _)n, and placed the ban of social ostra cism upon tiiem—refusing to allow their sons to consort with them and denying their daughters to them in marriage—tho vicious pntlemen would soon find out what o'clock It was. This result achieved, thoy might hopefully go on to the extermination of the social evil, which was errone ously, called "necessary," Ho was unspeakably thankful that tho Press OM spoken out in no mincing terms con «nil-g this huge evil, this dire calamity, we. rev, gentleman went on to quote approvingly from a leading article in tho Sydney "Daily Telegraph." TheKev, J. Robertson had much plcasuro »seconding the rosolution. He was glad lor this meeting, but unutterably sorry for ™ <$>_ of it. There was a great danger ti their discovering that what was every - •wye buoineun waa-nohody's business.

credibly informed that thia wn.inot the only girl whom ho had seduced, in the case under notice, ho stolo away the girl from her parents and kept her in a house of this town, nominally under his protection, but in defiance of her parent?. Such men's doings should bo dragged to tho licht of day,

■>lr Bailey naked if the Chairman would substitute for "by the help of God," tho words "on my honour'- in tho pledge. lie was a Freethinker, and was anxious to dc what he could to abate and combat with social immorality, which nil who thought an he did recognised to be the gigantic evil of the day. Jn the name of his brother Freethinkers, he asked the pro moters of this movement to sink religious points in order that thpy might stand shoulder to shoulder, and go forward hand in hand for tho suppression of vice. Ho could not understand the hesitancy to wear a badge. It, was a noblo work, and he was willing to wear one. In conclusion, ho wished to know if it waa intended to en gage a lawyer to prove in Court the parent age of illegitimate children.

Tho CIIAIhMAN replied that those who were engagedin the promotionof the Society would not agroo to tho elimination of tlio words "by tho help of God." it wouldhardly be in conformity with their objects to make suchan altoration. (Hear, hear.) Thoso who originated tho Society boliovcd that thoro was nn truomorality oxcopt such as thoy wero helped to attain by God. (Applause) It was not absolutely necessary that a pledge shonld be taken, but it was pre ferable.

Mr li. W. Dixon said the Chairman's statement about all the morality proceeding fram Cod appeared rather anomalous in in view of tho fact that thoy wero callod togothor for the purposo of doing that which God was supposed to havo beon doing for 1 ,SOO years. There woro houses of .'alien women near that Church whom tho minis ter had novor triod to roclaim. In fact, ho boliovcd, if tho poor creatures durcd to address a miniator tho minister, liko his Sydnoy congener, would knock them down. In his opinion more could be done by tho help of man than by the help of Clod. Tho Rev, H. Bull rose to a point of order.

Tho Chairman- sustained him, and having put tho resolution, it was carried against seven vqtes.

Another gentleman wished to spoak, but the Chairman said that thero was no need to prolong tho discussion.

A collection was then taken up in aid of the Society's funds.

The Rev. 11. F. Macnicol thon proposed that tho following bo tho ollieors and com mittco for tho ensuing yoar:—Presidont : Dr. Kenderdino. Vico-Presidents : Colonel Haultain, Tlioa. Buddlo. Treasurer: (blank for present) Secretary : Rev. W. L. Closs. Committee : Drs. Knight, Lawry, Mossrs E. Withy, I). Goldio, F. Jeuno, Revs. K. Bavin, R. F. Macnicol, S. Mncfarlano, Thos. Spurgeon, and .1. A. Smith. Tho rev. gentlemen considered that tho press had dono a wiso and good work in tho dis closures it had made concerning tlio extent, and onormity of the social ovil. Public attention had been concentrated upon it, and tho work of prevention and reformation should now bo carried forward with onergy

The motion having been seconded by the Rev, 11. Bull, and supported by Mr F. Battlkv, was put and carried, nan con.

On the proposition of tho Rev. S. Mac -I'AEI.iNK, a voto of thanks wns passed by acclamation to the Chairman and tho trustees of tho building.

After the Bonodiction, the Rev, W. J. Gloss intimated his willingnoss to rocoivo subscriptions and names of intending sub scribers.

A MYSTERY DISPELLED.

Ocr readers will remember that about four weeks ago the body of an old man was found in tho harbour, and all efforts to securo his identification failing, ho was buried without his namo having beon discovered. Inquiries havo since boon made by tho polico, with tho result that tho deceased has been identified as James Pearco, an old pensioner of tho (15th, and well known at Waitara and New Plymouth. Whon tho body was found, there was discovered in ono of tho pockets a buainoss card belonging to the Waitara Hotel, on which was written "Thomas Kolly, Post- Office, Wade." This card led to tho identification. Pearco, it appears, was in tho Waitara Hotol ono day in July, when he mentioned that he was going to Auckland to] burn charcoal. Another man who was present recom mended him to go to Kelly at tho Wade, and at Pearco's requost the barman wroto tho address on tho card, and romembors tho circumstances perfectly. So far as is known, Pearco has no relatives in the colony. _

CONTEMPT OF COURT

-— » .- Consequences of Interrupting a Justice of the Peace.

Tfie monotony of tho proceedings at the Police Court to-day was interrupted by an unrehearsed Incident which caused quite a sensation in a small way. and which furnlshoß an illustration of tho fact that a number of people go to tho Court as they do to a play, and imagine that they possoss tho privilege of interjecting remarks of approbation or otherwise as thoy pleaso, Tli3 ease under consideration was that cf the girls Barret and O'Carroll, oharncd with uoinu bad language and fighting in a publio place. Mr Stevenson. Jii6tlce ot tho Peaco, was remonstratiDg with the girls on the wickedness cf their conduct, when a voice from the body of the Court callod or,t, "Speak up." Sergeant Pratt at onco ordered the ipprohenslon of the olVendcr, Rml Constable Carroll picked out a sheepish looking young fellow who was pushed forwaid Into the tady of the Court.—Tho Jus tlco had not notiocd the interruption, and Ser geant Pratt esplatood that he had ordered tho offender to be brought forward for contempt of Court. Tlio man was then taken to t.iieprl oners' room, and at the conclusion of tho ordinary business was brought o-,H and placed la tho dock. He gavo his name as John Smiih, and said ho was a\\ ashman. Tho Work of tho Court neked him if hn was aware that ho had rendered liimßeii liable to a term of II days' impiison ment and a Uno not exceeding £10.— Pri3onor said ho wns not aware that ho had dono wronp;.—The dork: Do you apologise— Prisoner: Yen. 1 do.
