CONGREGATIONAL UNION.

The Chairman's Address,

Timabu, this day. The public meeting was hold in the Con gregational Church, Timaru, last even ing, under the presidency of Rev. J. Woateon, who read an addreaa prepared by the Rev. Dr. Roseby, who was the elected Chairman of the year, but had just left for Victoria. After expreesine regret a u the termination of the brotherly intercourse with the brothers of the Union and Ms pleasure in the success of their efforts, Dr. Roseby gave a brief but graphic history of Congre gationalism in N.Z., particularly of his per sonal reminiscences during his fourteen year's residence in Dunedin. The speakor having dwelt upon the paucity of incmbors in the early days, and the disadvantages arieing from the isolation of the church, which yet strongly desired fellowship and co-oporation, said: " The feeble ness of these beginnings and the slow growth of churches may easily load the un reflecting to think disparagingly of tho whole thing; but the wise road history, with a careful observation of facts and factors, which, to tho casual reader, eeem trivial and insignificant. The great renewing and roatoring movements of tho world have all boon originally of that charactor. The oyo of the multitude is caught by the splendour of Ca:sar, rather than by tho lordliness of the Nnzareno. Tacitus tolls us of Noro, but not of Paul. What was the Little Monk of Wittomburg compared to groat Loo?" Referring to tho wolcomoaccorded to Cardinal Moran at Sydney, the speaker disclaimed any fear that the rights and liberties of the Christian Commonwealth aie in dangor. "No one," said ho, " can road tho times without seeing that the churches of tho future will bo the restored Christian democracy of the Now Testament; but tho 1 right divino ' of a priesthood in any shape is as pure a tigmoit of tho yoars of superstition ns tho ' right divino ' of kings, and tho intelligent laity of the churches as thoy grow increasingly interested in the things of tho kingdom will grow moro and more distinct with the assertion of their nativo and chartered liberties as men and as Christians." "My lovo for Congrego gationalism," Dr. Koseby remarks, " refits on tho fact that it boldly accepts tho prin ciplo with all its inconveniences and drawbacks, for it has its drawbacks liberty always has. We accept the principlo of tho Government of the state by tho peoplo as tho sound and truo one, its faults and absurdities notwithstand ing, and for the same reason we as Con grogationalists assort and maintain the principle of the government of the Church by its own members. With this, in fact, the ideal Church is a family, the household of faith. There is no oxternal control. The family takes care of itself. Ono of tbo oldest institu tions on tho face of the earth, tho family, him Buffered loast from the revolutions and changes of time. Nor is it aelfish. We are none tho lobs good citizens because we aro fathera and mothers, mothers and children. Tho family principle is not at war with tbo social principle. It is the awakening of life in the social organism, and our Congregational Churches have bee» always among the foremost to take an interest in tho groat religious, humane, and social movements of the time Thus, we emphasise tho principles of Christian freedom, wo refuse to allow tho living faith of the Church to be bound by tho faith of long ago ; wo refuse to allow tho dead hand of o past generation to restrain the vitality and growth of the present. We honour the good men who hnvo gone before us for their faith, but wo will not allow them to prescribe ours. We, too, will rely, as they did, on the guidance and inspiration of God ; and wo believe that God has moro and moro light which He will cause to break forth from 11 m own and His multiform Word in Nature, in history, in tho sacred Book, and in the soul of man." After eloquently and forciblyshowing thatreligioustruthis no more subject to tho fetters of local opinion, ancient thinkers or ancient creeds, than sciontitic truth, the doctor concluded a powerful address by earnestly exhorting tho assembly to hold fast their faith ; " and now, brothren, these great foundation prin ciples, for the assertion of which our fathers havo laboured and suffered, bo it a caro to us to maintain in their integrity, and to propagate- nm Spnrtum qvaenaclus rs onui. " With a great sum obtained thoy this freedom, but wo havo boon froeborn.' To stand fast in this liberty will enable ua all tho moro readily to recog nise and omphneiso tho great Christian fea (uro in which all the churches of Jesus Christ aro one. Wo honour them all. Thoy nro none of them perfect - they aro as the shadow of good things to como. They aim with moro or loss accuracy, and with more or loss success, at tho truth and beauty and holinoss of tho ideal Church—that brido of Christ ' having neither spot, nor wrinkle, nor any such thing' — but they none of thorn perfectly roaliso that idoal, cither by truth or sanctity. We honour them ; we thank God for what thoy do; wo claim no Pharisaic superiority over them. Tho distinctive ' ism,' of Con gregationalism is its accentuation of 'brotherhood,' its denominational note is catholicity."

AFFAIRS IN SAMOA.

A correspondent writing from Apia jrivos an emphatic contradiction to statements made in tho " Herald " of October 12, in a letter from tho Wellington correspondent, to the effect that " documents received go to show (hat apprehensions are entertained in Samoa of serious disturbances—not to say civil war—breaking out." Our cor respondent,' who has beon a resident in Samoa for over 20 years, says there are no signs of disturbance, and there will bo no war unless Maliotoa and hit) party bring it on. Ho adds that it would be well if tho wrangling of the three Powers over those islands should cease, and says : " It is the best thine for Samoa that one of the Nations should tako it under its cure and carry on a stnblo Government. There is no need for a British war vosbol here to protect British interests. It never has beon done in Samoa in former wars. It lias been the main policy of the British Government to leave alone to their fate the British subjects in Samoa ; and why inter fere now, when there is no war ? In the threo ware Irom 1869 to 1872, in the Puletua wars of 1877-78, and in the late two wars of 1879 and 1881, no war veesels were hero to protect British interests. It is a studied policy of the Samoans in their wars never to interfere with European property or in any way to harass the foreign population." Our correspondent further says that Malietoa and his followers are in a decided minority, and tho old Government of the Taimua and Faipule have seceded from him, and are now organising the control of national affairs We again quoto his words:—"This old Government, now risen again, aro tho parties that mado the treaties with tho United States and with Gormany Tho members of Maliettoa's Government have for years pact done, and do at the present time, naught but eat, slcop, and spend days to gether in tho bush catching turtle doves. Maliotoa's Government is now called tho " Malo ten manutagi" —" 'Jovornment to catch turtle doves." Maliotoa has reigned long enough, doing nothing, and it is time to let some one olso have a trial. Notwithstanding all, it is a well known fact that no Samoan Govern ment, conducted by Samoans, can stand, or will do any good. They cannot crovorn. Samoa, to bo of uso, and to go ahead, requires a European Govern ment at its head, and as its protector." This conclusion agrees with that ar rived at by our special correspondent who lately visited theeo islands, al though on matters of fact tho abovo correspondent by no means coincides with the previously published letters. Tho necessity for the establishment of European rule over Samoa was also urged by the dele gates who visited the Islands of tho South Pacific to foster commercial relations be tween these islands and New Zealand.

The case in the R M. Court, HofTman v, Pitts, claim £35, was not concluded last evening owing to the lateness of tho hour. The case was rather a complicated one. The claim was for a piano, which plaintiff sold to Mrs Agnew, on an agreement that she was to pay £2 per month and the balance at tho end of the year. Mrs Agnew paid £16, when through a change of circumstances sho could not continue her payments. She was desirous of paying plaintiff, and for this purpose a Mr Peel undertook to get up a raffle, and Mr Pitts, the defendant, was the winner, and immediately afterwnrds was unpleasantly informed that Mr Hoffman had a claim upon it. He objected to pay, and told plaintiff it was very hard upon him, after winning it fairiy. Mr Pool's excueo was that he had not recovered the ticket money yot, and ] 1.-i-ntiff must wait. Plaintiff considered thai 1.0 had waited 6 months, which was long enoiiph, and consequently brought this action, which, it is expected, will bo settled on Monday next.

THE DEVONPORT-LAKE TRAMWAY.

At tho next meeting of the Waitemata County Council there will come up for con-' sideration the legal instrument which sets forth the terms upon which the Devonport Tramway Co. aro to be allowed the exclusive right of running trams in that district during the next 21 years.

Tho maximum charges that the Com pany are entitled to make are as follow: — Passenger fares, between 7 a.m. and 7 p m , Dovonport to tho Lako : Is for adults. Between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m., 2s.

BAPTIST MUTUAL IMPROVE MENT CLASS.

The 14th eeseion of the Baptist Mutual Improvemcot Class was closed on Tuesday evening last. The Secretary (Mr W. li. Nowton) read his report which stated, inter alia, that tho operations of the class during tho soseion had been fairly successful, and also that the average attendance had slightly increased. Tho featuro of the session had been a course of lectures by Mr Wm. Hinton, a Professor of Elocution, and these had been so successful that it was decided to con tinue them through tho next session The following aro tho ollieera for the oneuing Session :—President, Pastor T. Spurgeon ; Vice-Presidonts, Messrs Edmund Bell and F. A. Cleveland, und Professor W. S. Aldis ; Socretary, MrF. W. Gaze; Treasurer, Mr J. Hughes; Librarian, Mr F. M Hay ; Editor, Mr. Chns. H. Brown ; Committee : Messrs C. 11. Brown, T. W. Cranch, and W. Loyland. Vory goneral regret was ex pressed at tho enforced resignation of Mr Wm. H. Nowton, tho retiring Secretary. Tho constitution was altered so as to allow tho admission of lady members in the future.

St. Stephen's Band of Hope.

St. Stephen's Band of Hope met on Tues day night. Thero waß an excellent attend ance. Mr Andrew Stowart occupied the chair, and made a few appropriate remarks. Mr Soußtcr gave a red-hot temperance spoech, showing his hearers what a curse drink was to the individual, and to the community at large ; how terrible were its ravages, how numerous its victims ; and in forcible and eloquent language advocating tho only means by which the effects could be got rid of—tho romoval of the cause— the entire prohibition of alcoholic poison in fair Now Zealand. Ho finished an excel lent address, which was listened to with breathless attention, by singing a song (Mr Souster can ting very well) to prove who it was that drink was "marching down, down, down to the grave." One of the audience also made a short Bpeech on total abstinence. The re mainder of the programme was of a very interesting nature. Mr Marsden recited "The Leper," iMiss Souster "Where Do You Live!" Mies Mabel Jowitt "The Legend of Progeny," and Mr Walter Barry "The Brokon Bridge," with groat effect, whilo Miss Gertrude Jowitt sang " Bobin Adair " very Bweetly. Tho fact that those who gave recitations all prize-winners at the loto Band of Hope contest grea ly increased the interest and at the same time the pleasure of the auditory.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Mount Albert Loan and Special Rate.

(To the Editor.)

Sin, - In support of " Ratepayer's " letter of the lSth, re Mount Albert loan and ppecial rato, I havo to state that Mr Smith has on every possible occasion declared his intention of refusing to be a party in striking n special rato for loan unless the town end of tho district had a fair share thoreof. Well, eir, Mr Walters has con fidently supported him in that, for the reason that tho Taylor, Beck, and Co. party had fleeced tho town end of the district of its fair Bhare of rates, as he says they have (iono for years past.' It would havo been moro becoming of Mr Walters had ho answered " Ratepayer's" assertions, inetoad of hidinc himself behind a quibble. The special rate has beon struck, Mr Editor, and by whom ? Why, sir, by tho self-styled chauipions of Rocky Nook and KinKsland, Messrs Smith and Wnltors. If Mr Walters would like to hoar tho " whole truth," I would advise him to Ssk M rSmith for someof his "startlingrevelations." In conclusion, I would advise the Rocky Nook and Kings land ratepayers to avoid all land-jobbers for tho future. -1 am, &c.,

Snobbery.

(To tho Editor.)

Sib,—Thackeray's definition of a snob is ono who pretends to be better, richer, or more fashionable than ho really is, and the " Prince of Journalists " might well lay this to heart. Never did I read the Star with greater ploasuro than on Saturday night, when I saw that at least one journal had the honesty to ppeak the truth about G. A. Sala. The way in which ho was slob bered hero by men who felt proud merely to get their oxn names mentioned in tbe same column as his was truly sick ening. They may have thought they wore doing Now Zoaland a ser vico, but they lowered themselvos in tho opinion of right-minded men, and did no good to anyone but tho great G.A.S., whose vanity they flattered. In the colonies wo must specially beware of toadyism. There is a manifest disposition here on tho part of successful tradespeople to make those who have less money cringe before them. Class distinctions are becom ing tho samo curse hero which they have proved in older countries. Real worth is giving place to money, and a few more " Random Shots" like those of Saturday last will effectually check our present tendency to snobbery—shams wither in the light of exposure.—Yours, &c ,

Constant Readier,

We havo seen four largo cards of New Zealand ferns which have been prepared by Misn F. Renshaw, New North Road, and which are being framed for sending to the Indian and Colonial Exhibition, London. The collection is one of the most beautiful wo have looked upon for years. They represent a Maltese cross, a vase, a wreath, and a cross. They will bo on show in Messrs Phillipps and Sons' window to morrow. Iho natural colour of the ferns has beon ■ excellently prosorved. Thfl arrangement shows artistic taste of nu mean order on the part of the lady.

Avondalo is becoming a somowhat populous locality, compared with what it waß of late years. Within tho last few months a number of families from town hivo settled there, and those aro indus triously augmenting tho resources of tho locality, in tho cultivation of the soil and otherwiso. Avondalo ia a desirable placo to reside in, and as tho Kaipara railway passes through tho villago, tho settlers aro at no inconvenionco in their intercourse with Auckland. In a year or two hence, it is expected that Avondale, as well as its immediate neighbour, Mount Albort, will havo assumed such proportions as will pro bably eventuate in thair being constituted municipalities, instead of their boing, aa at present, Highway I! mid districts,

At Rotorua lately (says a contemporary) an attempt was made to utilise an escape of vaporous gas near the Government estab lishments, and form a vapour bath. An iron tube was put down and concreted round, and preparations made to fix up tho both, when tho subterranean forces getting vexed exorted their force, and with a loud oxplosion, scattered the whole concern, and sent the iron tube flying sixty feet up in the air. The workmen fell on their knees fearing the end of the world had come, but otherwise no damage was done. There has been, wo should add, a good deal of "vaporous G.A.S." about Rotorua lately, but no one dreams of trying to utilize it, and it is generally allowed to be a " waste product.'"

Mr Dion Boucicault, who is now in Auck land, was asked by a gentleman what struck him most forcibly in New Zealand as a stranger, looking at the features of the country, and he replied, " The prosperous look of the banks and the prominonce of the mortgago and mercantile loan companies. If these associations extend and multiply, New Zealand should quarter on her national arms three golden balls proper on a green Hold It is fortunate for the Islands that their immonse resources are amply sulii cient to redeem the land from financial pledges."

Onehunga has been always celebrated for the excellence of its onions, and deserved!, so. The volcanic soil in that locality I well adapted for the production ol thit species of the genus alltum, which ft nn tensively used in domestio culinaries. Tkii year the crop of onions at Onehunga and its vicinity is regarded an the best that In been grown there for years past, and the owners thereof are jubilant over the abund ance of the yield. The whole season, from the time the onion seed was eowc, hu'ben remarkably favourable to the development of the crop, from there being no lack ol moisture, as a continuance of dryweatk is always attended with unfavourable results in the cultivation of bulbous root* It is the intention of the Onehunga settled to devote greater attention tolbpojH of onions for the future than they have done in the past, and thus obviate the it duatry being principally monopolised t; market garden Chinamen. •;' .

As Surrey Hills forms an important part of the recently constituted borough ol Newton, the residents of that locality aie naturally desirous of participating in tlj bonelits of incorporation as speedily aspoe eible, seeing that their streets are still in their primeval state; and an early applies. tion for that purpose will bemadoassooi as the Mayor and Councillors are elected. New buildings are being constantly erected on the Hills, and in a year or co hence ( large area of land there will be covered nili habitations. Near St. Peter's Church i concrete house is in course of erection for the Uov. K.

A few enterprising fishermen at: On* hunga are about to inaugurate a fen smoking and curing establishment it Ike Manukau, a fowniiks off the Heads, wheretbe finny tribe ia very plentiful. This newin dustry is expected to become a remuuen tive one, tho parties engaged therein being skilful in the process of turning tbe treasures of the sea to the best aowoDt. Hitherto tho supply of cured and Booked fish has not been equal to thedemand dtkr for local consumption or exportation,n. that tbe enterprise will doubtless prove public boon in that reepect. Some yean ago a number of Chinamen established i similar concern at Port Stephen, New Swift Wales, and the success which has since it tended it has been great, and a source of no small wealth to the Celestials copied in it. Their profits every year are very taw, and still increasing, the demand for the» being great throughout Australia.

Thx Company boge to notify to the public that the works at Auckland and the Waiter* hare now been completed, and constitute the most eztenaive Meat-preserving and FroM iog Works in New Zealand. WHOLESALE MEAT MARKET AND SHIPPING DEPOT I« now open at the Company's Works at the Railway Wharf, where Town and Country orders will be attended to with the utmost promptness and despatch. Tho Company can refer with confidonco to the superior quality «f it* I'rimb Hut, aa »t!#cted for the market from large quantities of first-class West Coast stock, dealt with at the Company's Works, Waitara. SALT BBBF. Special attention is directed to the Company's brand in this line, which, with the faci litisn afforded by the cold-air process, oan be cured in mild pickle, and the necessity of cutting up in small pieces obviated. As contractors for lI.M. Navy, hare and In Sydney, large stocks are kept on hand. BACON-CURING. The CooHng Chambers for Bacon-caring at the Company's Works In Auckland are now 10 far advanced that this New Industry lias been commenced, and choice Hams amd Bacon can be offered cured on the most modern principle.

Hitherto the Colonial meats packed in the round cans, although called compresied meats, were only saleable in the English markets, where a low price was the first consideration, but meats of the New Zealand Packing Company, submitted in competition for Admir alty supplies at Deptford Dockyard, were awarded the highest commendation, and placed on the register of accepted brands, Tho following extract from the lotter of the Company's Agents in London, the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agoncy Company (Limited), is roforred to, who write as follows :— " We have the pleasure to band you herewith an extract from a letter received from the Wat Ofles. Army Department:—" Samples of tho Pcaoh Brand of tho New Zealand Packing Go. submitted by you, have been tested and proved, and iho Brand will be added to the Selected iJ«t of the Department" This now entitling yon to the privilego ot comp ting, wa therefore tondend on your behalf at COs 3d per 1121b: aod to-day were grat'fled to hear that the offisr had been accepted, notwithstanding that It wag 9d per owt. higher than the leading American brands, showing Lhat the quality was fully appreciated." Consequent upon the temporary stoppage of production during the transfer of the Company's Meat-preeerving Works from Auckland to Waitara, and owing to the fact that the reserve which had been relied upon to meet current demands wa* taken by the Mew South Wales Government for the Soudan expedition, the 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 be favoured.
