Mr Daniells's Temperance Lecture.

The cotton church was crowded to its utmost, extent last night, when Mr Daniel!* repeated hi« lecture on Temperanoe. after devotional exorcises had been gouo through Mr Danielle commenced his lecture. Be said that ho beliered that temperance was ~ Bible subject worthy of tho earnest thought of all Christian people, therefore lie always liked to preface hid remarks with a few words from the Scripture. St Paul said that they who strove for the mastery must be temperate. He alluded, of course, 10 thoH) who wero in training for arhletic sports. Now, if it was gocd for a nun to be temperate for tho sake of forming muscio for mnning and boxing, surely it waa equally good for men who had to earn their daily breuct c-ither by manual labour or in intellectual pursuits. True temperance W aa the proper use of tbr.se things which wore good, ami tli.- total übstiiiMiice lroin thoao things which weru nor, benulicia. to the ay-rdin. Tlio body was just formed of what mfiii put intt) it. Anatomy and nhvaiulouv had now revoaled ]Uet what was wanted for tho system. Tha chemist noul.i now givo anything that tho body really required. True torn. uorunc meant the ,:-nli v lotting alone of nil tfaiaicn that wore not useful or beneficial 10 the body. Nature contained many poUwns that could hardly bu considered a real pro duction of nature: it wad man who had pro .lijcoiJ it by the process of putrefaction or Sy ami distillation. Methylitic alccho w .,n tho intoxicating ingredientof al cpirituouH liquor*. They would find that alcohol v.a* enumerated amongst tllo a ,t» nf poison... They would «Uo lind that, it had ninny brothers and aistow. Some alcohol wan obtained from rancid butter and old (ihoeso, That .vas called buttyrU alcohol. Then they had iusil oil, which was distilled fiom potatoes. Tliat waa really bad whisky. Thai just phoned men like other pouons, but in o diilerent manner, for it mada them crony. Then they had f.arbo.ip aeirj find creosote, which were both obtained by dMnilfation. t}° really thought that if men know v.bat they w o ra takiu" into their system and the havoc they created they would then cease to use them, and that was tho reason he had delivered the lecture. lhe physical property ol alcohol was combustibility, and desei eating or drying tpndency. That was its preservative quality. lfie n sometimes took hearr.y meula and then -.vent to the s^loo,. to get drink to preserve it. Next day they would feel bad, and a doctor1 would be sent ior He at once administered an emetic, and then up would come preserved pickles, oyst.rß,ptß (laughter.) The lecturor then firei sortie of'(.ho i-pirjj to display Its com bustible Qualities. ' Ajeohol was aiso very vokitilo-that"smart that it would go all through the system. If a man gsrallowea red hot bullets it would burn bis (.iaiiuwn only but when ho swallowed alcohol then it, teethed through his whole >-ystem. Alcohol waa also an irritant, If a litc.e pure spirit were put in the mouth it would -non irritate it. Another property of aleoljol van fefimnlatic. Hut it was a notorious stimulant whitfb causes tho Whole HV-tem to try and expi > if. V/hcu umn wu-e cold they drank alcohol to warm them, and when tbuy were hot they took just the -arae spirit to make them cool. Alcohol was also anaesthetic, *tij if WQ'!ld aftec!; ■ people just tha .*:imo as ctjlorc crw cjiJ. Tnsu :.':ey had tobicuo or nicotine. Frusiic .■iCifl wa« tho only pjison that was more deadly in its action than the oil of nicotine 11. \ras iar more deadly than .'ulphurlo auld. Tho iPCtuior theti explained the internal oigann auti !.':P composition of the corpuscles and their nurpyssH, Ho ne>;c pointed out on the diagram the pntnioiouo effects nf the uso of alcohol. Kg also explained the nervous system, and painted out how alcohol deadened the feeling. He then dealt with the digestive powero, esplain'njt how the food waa as similated by tho oorpiji-olea qnd distribute} by the blood throughout tho Uy meana of coloured charts the lecturer uhoued the action of alcohol upon the stomach, K:'inK through iho various Ftsige* from a healthy etemach to a man suffiiing from delirium Irenl'ens. He pointed out how the in.-ide first bteume ulcerated, and t!vin coded by being charred. 'Soti.e cf tlifcm might n .'y that they did not drink slcoho'F, bit gin Well, tho only difference between alco!:o: and yi" wag a littja water. He then burnt gin nud brandy to s-Jiow how much alcohol there v. as in it. Perhaps some man would s-aythal" they only drank'beer. Well, if it was nor, for tho alcohol in beer they would not drink itany more than they would ■will. Tr.e lecturer then experimented upon tho various liquor?, and while doing so said that he had never seen a drunken woman until ho cans to Auckland, although he had been in many large ciiloa .Mr Daniells stated that the leaaan why a drinker's breath was so bad waa because ulcoration of tho stomach hud set in. Ha next explained the aclio .cf alcohol up<n the white corpuscles of the blood Alcohol also acted upon tho red corpuscle* o' the blood, sq that fatty r!o«oiicratiou tct in j and that accounted for drinking men looking so full in tho face, and a'HO tho enlargement of his noeo, Theeo globules of a-iipoje tissue were also deposited upon Iho nerves, and thus partially destroyed thorn. That was al) tho action of alcohol in tho syßtem. 'Chi j fatty degeneration really mcanttliat the Jblid, hard mutclea woro becoming softened, in fact, turning into .fat, and thus doing away with the powers of nption. Be then showed the difference bet ween tho brain cf :i tjrnporato man and & drunkard'^. Alco li.il" luuj'v pickicd trip" brain" aii'd mace it hard, led, and rough, and ultimately congestion of tho brain set in. He stated thijt if he v,-cro not. a Christian he wo^lld not pour such ?lop* down his throat to injure his in*ide and br/lin. Hp had too m'uoii respect for himself. Mr Dinislls also dealt with tho terrible evils resulting from the use of tobacco, fhowing how tho nicotine aitered tho shape of the blood corpuscle, producing irregular action of the heart and brain. He quoted from various high inedipal nu.thoiit.ies to show that invtteruto smoking njust necessarily aiject the future nice?. One 14th of a drop of the oil of nic tine wa< eiiouyh to cause instantaneous dea'h. He also read King James I's " Counterblast against the use of Tubacc}." Ha concluded Dy exhorting all present to discontinue the use of intoxicants and to'-incco smoking. Tli6 lecture throughout was most instructive, aud was listened to with evident interest. All the charts were carefully explained in a very simcle manner. The benediction c!o?td the proceedings.

Presbyterian General Assembly.

(BY TELEGRAPH.-^PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Wei.i.inoton, this day. Thk ARaembly sat yesterday afternoon with closGti doors to considor tos rsferenco fr»m the Auckland Presbytery relative to some difference between the minister stationed at Avondala and his office-bearers. It was decided that the matter was one that demanded inquiry, and further discussion was ndjourned The Rev. P. Calder spoke to his motion with regard to the presentation of an address of congratulation to Her Majeßty the Quean on the occasion of the Jubilee y9ar of her reign. The motion waa carried, and the Keva. .T. Paterson, p Caider, C. S. Ogg, and J. X, Elliott were appointed a committee to prepare the ad dreas. At the night sitting the committee appointed to draw up the address to Her Majesty, congratulating her on entering the jubilee year, wax read, and the draft address was adopted. In reference to the dispute hetweeu the Avonrlalo (Auckland) congrega tion and its pastor, it was re3ilved, "That this Assembly deeply ro;:rota the state of matters which has arisen in thecongregaiion as brought out in thodocumsnts accompany! inn the reforonco, and as the Assombly is not in a position to arljudicato upon the case in tho absence of the parties, it refers tho ease back to the Presbytery of Auckland, with instructions to deal according to the laws of the church." The committee on tempor auco reported that although no groat stir had been made in following up the work of temperance reform during the past ye a « they have still reason to believe that tha cuuse is advancing both wjthin and without tho church. The- nature of tho work dona Hince last Assembly has been in tho way of Ron«ervi"g the large accessions mado to the ranks of the total abstainors during the pre. viona years rather than an actual increase to.tbou number. Tho advent of the blue ribbon movement, followed up by such veterans an R. T. Booth, Matthew Burnett, Sir William Fox, William Glover, Mr Koblo, and othora, had brought im such a harvest to the temperance party that it became absolutely necaj sary tc strike out on all sides to; local societies ipt pQr,s?rying the thou.aan.da that hacl Been induced to don the blu^ ribbon. There was no doubt about thY immense impetus given to temperance work by the movement, but its work had been thai of securing pledges ratherthan the formation of any society for their protection after they had been gained. The phase of the njovai mont, and indeed tho whole history oi tk. teiMpbrtjns? w' oru *ro*# *''(?! oa^iegt ti^o; leaves ua v/ith the praaticalle^on that it v ofron much more easy to win a man over to take the first step than to, secure h;s nn, swerving allegiance to thocause afterthe ej. citement which often attends th,at flrat eten has sashed away. The iapk o» a definite'or gaiifcarion «y whjch those who joined ths tomporance ranks may bo kept from falling away has undoubtedly been a weak spot in the tomp&ranee movement in former years, but men who have observed much and thought much on theaubjectarenow taking such steps as may guard against like failure in tho time to come. The law as it now stands can only be made available in redufr ing agencies for fostering and pronagat'Jne intemncranpo wf)en folded by an tion cftiapaot in its riaturo'and having all iis forces iyeil under .controli' The work do:>e during this year has beou in t^a way of gaining this end. In conclusion, the committee express tho belief that ffie, formopion of cQngregatiflnal societies pa»% quito witliin the range of their duties as a. Church, and hope that some s«oh schema should be given a trial The roport wa» adofjte:J. 'The Rev."Mr Troadwell stated tha: he had no report tj bring up oneduca> tion, tmthing being done during the year, a resolution was moved, "That tbia As spmbly renew Us testimony in favour 0! Biblo-reading in schools, and that the com raittey on fiduoation be directed to co operate with kindred committees ofothar Churches in urging upon the Legislaturethft it.aendment of the JEdu,cu,tiqn Act, to include Fjjble toi»fiing in all puhlje sohools." THj 1 tieri3urer; e statement was road nad ngreeff to.

Ok Wednesday, February 9, tho newly, oroeted Temperance Hall, Port Albert, was oponcil Tor many years this district pos -e.'ted no public building savo one—that built twenty-five years ago, in which.the Albertlanders mat for religious service, cunductud by Key.

Not: * withstanding dull times and low prices of all agripultural produce, the general desire to have a decent public hall is now realised. Tbe hail ia erected on a freehold site adjoining the Bocreatjon Ground, and a more suitable place could not be j had. The neoessary funds nave been raised in £1 share?, and tbe shareholders have formed themselves into an association, ■; registered under the Public Libraries ■; Act. The hall is large enough to seat 400 . persons, and a large ante-room capable of holding oO more. The contractors—Messrs I Hnrtnell and Vickery—have done their work in a very satisfactory manner. The hall trustees have throughout managed the business creditably; and the Chairman, Mr J. Coupland, has done good work., There was a successful meeting, «&■. the opening.
