"Why I Left the Spiritualists'

This was the subject of a lecture delivered laat night in tho Opera House by Mr Tboc. Walker, of Sydnoy, who laat visited Auck land somo eight or nine years ago as a trance medium. Prior to tho delivery of tho lee turo a tableau vivant by children, and very prottily illustrative of a Court econo, was ex hibited, tho offect being heightened by means of tho limelight. Mr Walker recited a poem by himself, entitled "The Jewish Maiden," and Mr W, Edwards sang " Napolitane." Mr W. Cooper, who presided, then made a few introductory remarks, and Mr Walkor rose to address the audience. Ho said that many of them might think that it waa something liko what was vulgarly tormed " chook " on his part to ro turn to Auckland after an absenco of eight years, and avow that hia previous profes sions were either n mistako or something worse. Tho cbbo against him had been very fairly put from tho orthodox standpoint by a pious scribo of tho "Herald," in its issue of Saturday. Still he deniod that what he professod when last hero was "a tissuo of falsehoods" as assorted by this holy reporter. Ho was sincere as a Spiritualist, and ho was sincere now as a Secularist. When last horo ho was only a lad of 19, and at that time he firmly believed that he was controlled by spiritual influences. Ho was tho subject of great persecution for that belief, but persecution did not change it. His ripen- • ing intellect and expanding mind, how ever, gradually taught him better, and ho grow out of tho spiritualistic beliefs of his boyhood. Was it at all wondorful that men should have such fancies ? Did not tho Christian pray constantly for his daily broad, whilo ho legularly and con stantly oarnod it by dint of his own efforts ? Did not parsons when about to preacli pray for the Holy Spirit to holp them ? Ho did not aspire so high : an ordinary mortal contonted him. B. B. Tylor, in his splendid work on " Priniitivo Kaligion," had clearly analysod and explained the whole thing. Spiritualism—and ho made the confession as a former subject of tho delusion-was but a survival of the primitive belief that spirits did everything that was not undor stood, and Spiritualists, instead of trying to oxplain certain things by saying " we are ignorant on tho matter," said, "It is tho spirits." As a Spiritualist, ho prayed lervently and earnestly to tho good angels to help him, and in the nervous omotional excitement of tho hour, he really believed that the prayer was answered, The Bible was full of such Spiritualism. Admitting, howevor, that he was a fraud as a boy, was ho to be reprobated because as a man ho had honestly avowed that he had boon wrong ? The " Herald's " morality was that a man hav ing onco told a lie should stick to it and brazen it out. If such a feeling provod universal, where would be tho encourage ment for reformatory effort ? The renuncia tion of his boyish opinions and the procla mation of the fact had entailed upon him severe trials. His friends forsook him in a body, happy homes woro closed against him, and for years ho was made a subject for attack, aspersion, and obloquy. In the conflict between his former opinions and thoso he held at present, ho suffered as he would wish no one else to suffer. The black prospect of atheism was inexpressibly repellant to him, but ho had the courage of his opinions and persevered until tho deceptive blackness disappeared, and he saw the real tranquillity of the haven it enclosed. If the truth had put him and others to shame, it were better that it should.be co, and. truth triumphant, than a

Street Calls.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —Can nothing be done to stop, or at least modify, the pestering nuisance causd by itinerant vendors who perambulate our streets. ? Regularly every morning some stontorian-lunged fellow passes my window yolling out "Strawberry ripe, ripe 6trat berry." Hardly has t"ho echo of his voice died away, when along comes a youth in a cart, who belches out at the highest pitch Ms voice will roach, "Strawberry ripe-er, fine ripe strawberry-yer," while I inwardly bless him and wish him baniehed to Siberia. Another fiend in human shape comes round with his confounded "Straw berry ripe, all fresh gathered strawberry." Hardly "do these fellows get out of tin street (and the three of them were in it to-, gethor this morning), when " Fresh op»ed oysters " comes round with his cry, By' and-by "Fresh smoked fish '■' or "Allalive, all alive, two for a shilling, fine mullet, just whichever he happens to have, Surely tho time has arrived when the Council should pass a by-law on the subject. The whole system is a perfect nuisance, and 1 bog to bring the matter under their notice. —lam, &c, Suotrer.

(To the Editor.) Sik,—Now tho summer season haa fairly commencod, and as no doubt large numbers of Auckland visitors and families will con stantly be visiting our charming manne suburb, I think it is high time that some notice should be taken of the disgmoeW practice which has hitherto been indulged in with impunity, viz., that of bathers monopolising Borne of our best promooioej. The Cheltenham Beach, andolsoopeorwo charming spots just below Fort Cautley, aro often so occupied for the best p»no the day, to the almost complete s«°B out of the public.
