RATIONALISTIC BELIEFS.

Tub Rev. J. S. Hill deliverod hia usual lecture at the V.M.C.A. Rooms yeßterday afternoon. The attendance during the course has greatly increased from 50 to 300 or 400, the large hall being now almost invariably orowded. Some ladies occasionally attend, and a few were present yesterday, but the audience usually con sists of young and middle-aged men. Mr Hill explained that by a mistake the subject had been advertised aB "Somo Railonaliat Beliefs. instead of " Rationalistic Beliefs." The word rationalist had a confined conventional mean ine as applied to persons holding certain views but by rationalistic beliefs he meant matters which it was rational'to believe. He then proceeded to state what Borne reasonable or rational propositions. The 9rst of these was the axiom that the whole was greater thnnitHnait The next was the assertion that whUßt no man in grasp the idea of infinity^he cannot imagine, on the. other hand, that space has an end. He can imagine something that now occupies a portion of space being removed, but he cannot imagine a portion of space being subtraoted. So, too, no man can oomprehend ?ho inflnky of time, nor can he imagine a time when time was not. Again, thero Is no effect without a cause, a.;d every causs must bo effi cient Thus, a book was the effect of thought and impulse the existence of a thinker capable of producing it The works of Shakspcro im plePd the existence of a man capable of pro-uo fng tho thoughts found thorein. Applying this to man. we havo the fact; o'mans person; allty. He s a oonscions. intelligent, moral being, endowed with similar attributes. The main purpose of Mr Hill's address appeared to be to establish tho reasonablenesssol believing in the existence of a Supreme Personal Ruler ot the Universe. The übubJ privilege of asking questions was accorded at the close, and Messrs Kendall. J. Morris, and A. Bettony sroko, he latter entering into a rather lengthy.coli esslon of faith in tho Bible and belief in Christianity. Mr Hill repUed to the questions and objections in his usual courteous and gentlemanly manner, after which the meeting terminated,

THE QUEEN OF RAROTONGA.

Qcien Makea of Rarotonga, with her royal ' consort, the King of Atiu, remain guests at tho Auckland Hotel, and with their Buite are fully occupied in receiving visitors and seeing tho sights of the town. Yesterday forenoon the party accompanied Mr Glover to tho Primitive Methodist Church, and listened to the ministrations of Rev. A. J. Smith. In the afternoon Messr* Glover and Caffrey drove the visitors round by Remuera, Epsom, and Mount Eden, the strangors oxpressinggreatldelightalthesightstheywit nossed. In the evoning they attended St Patrick's Cathedral. Tho improssions of tho party may bo considered to be summed up in the declamation of Tapou, that ho could net sleep last night for thinking of all ho had seen. It was all beautiful' and wonderful. Ho was struck by tho multi tude of houeos, of people and of shops with their seemingly exhaustloss stores of provisions, &c, and the more he sees _of New Zealand ho ia moro astonished. What gave him especial de light was the fact that he had not soon a single poreon the worse of drink ; but day and night the streots crowded with busy and sober peoplo. A letter was received from Paul of Orakei to-day intimating that as he is in firm he could not como in to day, but will come tho first good day to pay his respects to tho Quoon. His Worship the Mayor and Mr Brown, of the Native Office, drove the party through the Albert Park to day, and afterwards showed thorn through the Museum, in which the Queon and suite took great interest. Tho distinguished strangers have their timo fully occupied visiting and receiving visits. A number of leading citizons wero introduced to them at tho Auckland Hotol to-day. They havo visited Mrs Blaikie and Mrs Caffrey, who are sisters, and natives of Rarotonga, and to-night they intond visiting ,Mrs Blaikie, another sister. No furthor communication has boen rocoived from Wellington, and the Queon is rather at a loss how to further the political objects of hor mission; but, doubtless, Government will send a representative hero, or invite tho party to Wellington. Thoy intend visiting tho Circus, Diorama, French man-of war, and all tho churches if thoir stay is sulliciontly long.
