JUBILEE TEMPERANCE FESTIVAL.

£ DAKKE audience gathered on Monday gybing in the Choral Hall, despite tho un favourable aspect of the weather, in order to witness fcfc opening of the Grand Jubilee Temperance Festival. On the platform were the following representatives of the om en's Christian Temperance Union :— jyf e3 dames Scheisby, President ; Holloway, Secretary; ancUriulKonj-MesafS E. Tremain, President of the Auckland Total Absti nence Society ; John Hoskins, of No. 1 Tenb; E. J. Carr, Chief Ruler of Hope o f Auckland Tent of Rechabites ; J. T. Garlick, President of the Gospel Temper ance Union : the Revs. Worboys and G. B. Monro, Vice-Presidents ; W. J. Macder mott, Secretary, of the Band of Hope Union ; Jro. C. Hill, P.G.VV.C.T. ; Sister Clark, G.W.V.T. ; Sister Johnston, G.D.M. ; Sister Bailey, G.A.S. ; Brother Bedell, W.C.T.) Tauranga Lodge ; Brother Brandt, P.G.A.S., Star of Newton ; and Brother Bailey, Hon. G-. A.S. All these repre sentative Good Templars were in full re galia. Above the platform was tho legend, "God Save the Queen," and beneath this y?as suspended a large painting of Her Majesty, done by Mr J. C. Robinson. There were also present: Lady Fox, Rev. Fefcer Mason, Mr VV. Speight, and Mr R. S. Barry. Before the proceedings commenced, Mr Garlick notified to the audience that as Sir George Grey had not arrived from the South, Sir William Fox, President of the New Zealand Alliance, had kindlyconsented to officiate as chairman. Sir William then entered amidst great applause. He wore his K.C.M.G. insignia. The proceedings opened with an overture played by about twenty of Mr Townshend's pupils. The whole audience then united in singing' the Queen's Anthem. Mr Monro next en gaged in prayer, after which the St. James's choir, under the conductor-

ship of Mr Edmondes, rendered tbo chorus, "Mighty Britannia," in excellent style. Sir William Fox then made a few remarks. He expressed sorrow that Sir George Grey was not occupying the chair. Having from his boyhood held the Queen's commission, Sir George Orcy was peculiarly fitted to officiate at that gathering. They might not all know that Sir George Grey was an abstainer, and for that, reason he had claims upon them. Sir George took the pledgo in order to get Tawhiao, the Maoi-i King, to do the same, and the result bad been that the sale of liquor had been jprohibited tnronghont; the whole of the King Sir William Fox then devoted some time to the Queen's Jubilee. Ho re ferred to the fact that the Queen was the 'patron of one of the largest temperance or ganisations in the world — tbo Church of England Temperance Society. (Applause.) 1 Mrs Johnson and Mr C. Taylor then ren dered the " Singing Lesson " in fine style, t This was followed by the solo, "A Little • Mountain Lad," which was sung byJN'l.s •Judson, in her usual finished manner. iTbc Rev. T. Spurgeon next delivered a j,characteristic address upon "The Moral that have been Effected ll)uring the Last 50 years." The part song t" Smile, Oh Sun," was delivered in an ac ■ ceptablo manner by the members !of St. James's choir, Miss Parker j acting as accompanist. The band '■then played the overture, "God bo twith you till we Meet Again." One iof the most pleasing items of the evening jwas Miss C. Cribble's rendition of the [pathetic solo, "The Drunkard's Raggit r-vVean." The,audience attempted to recall kibe soloist, but tho Chairman pointed out [that the programme was too lengthy to jadmit of encores. Mr R. S. Barry then '•iCame forward and recited the prize poem )by Mr E. S. Husband, after which Mr 0. fTaylor sang "Love Never Dies" with '.considerable effect. Mr W. J. Speight jnexfc favoured . the audience with a |few remarks upon " Fifty Years' 'Progress in Temperance Work." He preferred to the regulations and rostric j'tions imposed upon the drink traffic, and wound up by a firm declaration in favour of prohibition. He also paid a testimony to ithe good work of Father Matthew in the old country, who converted to abstinence .millions of his fellow beings. He thought ithat the Jubilee was a suitable occasion for jpeople to resolve to throw aside the drink, (for the time for talk was nearly done, and f the time for action had come. That had been ia rebels cry, but it would suit the present joccasion.. He also warned the people to see to it that the next Parliament was ibetter than the preceding ones. Prohibi ,tion was now a feature of practical politics, and if they believed in it let them be faith ful to the flag they bore, and thenit would •be carried to victory as sure as right was fright and God was God. Nothing but personal abstinence and prohibition would 'rid the country of the drink traffic. Miss Main followed with the pleasing solo, " The Drink, the Drink, the Cursed Drink," after which the St. James's choir rendered the ;part song, " The Cloud-capt Tower." Lady Fox then presented the prizes given ,by the Women's Christian Temperance [Union for the best essay upon "Alcohol, iand its action upon the human system.' 'The following were the winners:—No. 1 class: Ist prize (L 2 2s), Miss Emma Laritt; '2nd prize (Ll Is), Master Harry Matthews ; 3rd prize (a book), Miss Fanny Lane. No. 2 class: Ist prize (Ll 10s), Miss Ada Smith ; 2nd prize (10s 6d), Miss Emma Crabtree; 3rd prize (a book), Miss Alice Nicholson. No. 3 class : As there was only one competitor (A. M. Stevenson), a book was presented. Certificates of merit were .also given as follows:-No. 1 class: Ist', [Miss Annie Crawley; 2nd, Master John fWarnock; 3rd, Miss Milly Baker. No. j'2 class: Ist, Miss Jane Leslie ; 2nd, Miss -E. Halloway; 3rd, Miss Edith Waddel. Si James's choir closed the programme ■■with the chorus, "Stretch Forth, Stretch* ..Forth." Mr Townshend's band then played :tbe National Anthem as the audience ;; dispersed.

JUBILEE SPECIAL SERVICE AT ST. SEPULCHRES.

Address by the ISishop

At Sb Sepulchre's yesterday morning at half-past ten, a special service was held to celebrate the Jubilee of Her Majesty's reign. Many of bh<? clergy were present. The congregation was a very large one, and was composed of members of the congrega tions of all the different churches of Auck land, fully 600 people being present. The firsb lesson was read by Archdeacon Dudley ; and the second by Archdeacon Maunscll. Tho sermon was preached by Bishop Cowie from tho text 1 Peter ii. .17, " Honour the King." Bishop Cowio spoke as follows: THE TEACHING OF SCRIPTURE. Tho Roman Emperor was doubtless in the mind of the Apostle when lie gave this injunction to the Christian community. Thab heathen ruler was no example to the disciples of Jesus Christ; and it was bhere iore in his etlicial character, and not as an individual man, that he was to be honoured. Tho Emperor was the representative of the supreme authority in the State. That authority was, according to the teaching of tho Now Testament, a power ordained of God. The particular form which that authority might take in any country at any time was another matter. It might be that of a monarchy or of a; republic : it might be hereditary or elective ; the form was an ordidance of man. Whatever it might be, as the supreme authority in the State, tho disciples of Jesus Christ were to submit to it. It is only "in tho Lord " that subjects are required by Christian, morality to submit to human ordinances of Government; only so far, that is, as they can do so consistently with rendering to God the things that aro God's. If such a precept as that of St. Peter could be given to Christians when ruled over by a Nero or a Tiberius, we need not fear lest incense or anarchy should be justified in the subjects of a Christian king or queen,by this qualifi cation of our responsibility. THE QUEEN AND *HE PEOPLE. It is, however, the loyalty of her people to our Queen personally that is uppermost in our thoughts to-day. To us and to our parents her reign of fifty years may be de cribed as "happy," in no merely conven tional sense of the word. As far as her own conduct is concerned, Her Majesty has assu redlydone her best tomakeherpeople happy. The following are her own words, published in tho London Gazette ia 18S2 in acknow ledging the sympathy expressed by the whole Empire, when the life of herself and her youngest daughter had been endangered by a maniac, who fired a pistol into her carriage in the early part of that year:— "It has ever been the Queen's greatest object to do all she can for her subjects, and to uphold the honour and glory of her dear country, as well as to promote the prosperity and happiness of those over whom she has reigned so long; and these efforts will bo continued unceasingly to the last hour of her life. The Queen thanks God that He has spared her beloved child, who is her constant and devoted companion, and those who were with her in the moment of danger, as well as herself; and she prays that He will con tinue to protect her for her people's sake, as He has hitherto visibly done." Notwith standing the lamentable wars and other troubles thafc have come upon the United Kingdom and the Empire in general, since Her Majesty's accession to the Throne, prosperity and healthy progress have, con fessedly, been hitherto characteristic notes of her reign. THE IMPROVEMENTS IN FIFTY YEARS. This is not the time or place to refer in detail to the wonderful advance that has been made during the last 50 years in scientific discovery, and in the application of our extended knowledge to the arts, whereby the troubles of "life have been alleviated, and its comforts increased. I will only say of this advance.that no man or woman in Her Majesty's dominions has been more in sympathy with the great discoverers of her time, or has been more desirous to show thorn encourage ment and honour, than has Her Majesty, or than did her lamented hus band, the Prince Consort, himself a man of high scientific attainments. At the corona tion of Her Majesty in Westminster Abbey, in 1838, the Archbishop of Canterbury prayed that she might " preserve the people committed to her charge in wealth, peace, and godliness ;" and that she " might lead her people in the way wherein they should co and in all things follow the great and holy example" of Jesus Christ our Lord. Brethren, if those things were worth pray inff for at the beginning of this reign as assuredly they were, wo may well thank God to-day for the measure m which those prayers have been fulfilled- PRAYERS. The Queen has, moreover, expressly de sired us to unilo with her to-day in such prayers and thanksgiving. The.words that have been put into tho nlouth of one of her most illustrious predecessors, by the present poet laureate, seem to express what she would ask of ourselves :- Pray for my soul. More things aro wrought by Thanrthfs rworia drcam 3 of Wherefore, let thy RiJnke a fountain for mo night and day, For what are men bettor than sheep or poats VHafnonrisfa a blind life within the brain, Th has been said of the British nation that our greatness is due more to tho steady ability and true integrity which are spread so largely among all classes, than to tho newer of extraordinary and occasional SSs It is doubtless the true integrity ff our Queen that has, as much as any thing else, gained for her tho great in fluence for good that she possesses with the other sovereigns and ruling powers of the ?W as well as with her own subjects.

Tf only for the" unvarying example of

for the fifty years' reign thab has illustrated that queen of graces in all the relations of life, to her subjects of every decree. Of her devotion—as a daughter, a wile, and a mother, ib i.s unnecessary for mo to speak at any length, inasmuch as by the faithful discharge of her duty in all these relations she has long since possessed, herself of the hearts of her people. Of her care for purity of life the Empire had a notable illustration some years ago, when she removed from the army Use the name of one of her most skilful commanders, rather Chan allow it to be thought that the morality of those holding her commission, in the naval and military forces of the Em pire, was to her a matter of indifference. And this when England was threatened with a European war. Of the Queen's free dom from religious bigotry and sectarian narrowness, her subjects have had ample prbof; and her impartial treatment of all classes of her people is universally acknow ledged. COLONIAIi VIEW. The perfect social equality and absolute religious freedom which we enjoy in this colony renders us better able, I think, to value aright these gifts and (Traces of our beloved Queen, than are the majority of the inhabitants of the United Kingdom, where conventional degrees o£ rank, and the privi leges of an Established Church, affect men's estimate of her who occupies the unique position of Sovereign of the British Empire. It has %een said that these religious and social advantages, possessed by the people ol this colony, constitute the clement in which alone virtue and intelligence can at tain to their full development in this age of the world ; and virtue and intelligence are the indispensable safeguards of our colonial polity, as George 5 Washington held them to be of republican institutions. We are at the present time sparing our selves no cost in this colony to develop the intelligence of our sons and daughters. Let us take heed betimes that we do nob neglect the other requisite for national stability and progress—tho cultivation of virtue, of that righteousness without which no nation can be exalted to'its rightful destiny; Of that virtue we all acknowledge that we havo a bright example in our beloved Queen—as a woman, as a con stitutional Sovereign, and as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Let us honour her by following it.

May children of our children say, She wrought her people lasting.good ;

Her court was pure, her life serene ; God gave j)or peace her land repose : A thousand claims to reverence closed In J)or as mother, wife, and Queen.

God Save the Quern

After the sermon a collection, amounting to £15 4V 7d, wdn made. Tho sum will be sent to the Archbishop of Canterbury for the Church House, which he has recom mended to be erected in London as a Church memorial oE Her Majesty's Jubilee.

ADDRESS BY THE REV. C. E WARD.

Yesterday morning, in the Franklin Road Church, a Jubilee thanksgiving service was held. There was a fair attendance. Miss Malcolm (of Victoria) delivered a short ad dress, specially making reference to tho gracious influences of tho Queen's life, private and public, and also to her happy married life. At this stage an interesting and impressive ceremony was performed by the Rev. C. E. Ward in christening several children, two of whom were twins. The Rev. Mr Ward then delivered an interest ing and instructive address, in the course of which he said: "Fifty years ago a young girl of 18, tho Princess Alex andrina Victoria, daughter of bho

Duchess of Kent and niece of William IV., who had just breathed his last, was called to sit upon the throne of Great Britain and Ireland under the title of Queen Victoria. To-day we, in common with millions the world over, are called upon to celebrate the Jubilee of her truly prosper ous reign. She has proved herself a lady universally loved by the vast millions of her subjects. Who so gi'eat or so beloved in the magnificence of her empire as a mon arch, a woman, a wife, a mother ? She has won all hearts. When a blushing' maiden, in her first address to her nobles, she uttered these memorable words: "Edu cated in England under the tender and en lightened care of a most affectionate mother, I have learned from my infancy to respect and to love the constitution of my native country. It will be my increasing study to maintain the re formed religion as by law established, securing at the same time to all the full en joyment of religious liberty ; and I shall steadily protect~the rights and promote to the utmost of my power the happiness and welfare of all classes of my subjects.' And right nobly has she kept her word. Never was there a sovereign in all time who has acted so much in accordance with the con stitutional usages of her country as has our gracious and noble Qit«en. In all her public deeds she has never done a single act which has not been in the interest of her people." Mr Ward pointed out that the past fifty years were never equalled in the English history —wonderful as that history had been in the golden past. At the close of Mr Ward's °adelress, the congregation rose, and with enthusiasm sang the National Anthem.

The Jubilee at the Thames.

Thames, this day.

Yesterday was observed as a close holi day, but there were no amusements. Heavy showers of rain fell throughout the day. Last evening the pyrotechnic display took place at Butt's, corner of Junction Hotel and Bank of New Zealand. Various kinds of fireworks were let 'off, while the water display was excellent. The offices "of the Borough and County Councils were illuminated, over the entrance to each being a crown formed with gas jets. Chinese lanterns were also displayed at the hospital and one or two other business places.

Wilson, the chief promoted in the matter, and the Secretary of the Jubilee Celebra tion Committee.

PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY.

The Waterbury Watch will keep mean time or apparent time, Greenwich or Hono iuiu, .Sidereal or Solar ; in fact any time excepb tram time, which passes all under standing. Why should I give £5 or £10 for a watch that has to be perpetually undergoing re pairs, and ao the best of times cannot be-re lied on, when I can brny a perfectly reliable, stong, and handsome VVaberbury Watch for 1356d2 The Waterbury Watch is cheap because ib contains less mechanism than any other, and can be repaired ab less cosb. Bub ib goes 60 minutes to the hour regularly all the time ; that' 3 why the factory has to be enlarged and the agencies extended. " As far as the Waterbury is concerned, I can give you my testimonial in a few words. The longer I wear the watch the better I like ib. It is always true to time."— Edward Kennedy, * Manager Berrima Colliery. Parents, teach your children to be in time. As soon as your boy can read the time of day, give him a watch ; teach him how to take care of ib and always be in time. No need bo buy a costly one. Tho Waterbury is the very best watch for the purpose, and will always keep the boy on time. The Waterbury Watch Company don't claim to give you an 18-carab Gold Chrono meter with your name engraved on ib, and a Gold Chain to hang ib on, for 13s 6d. But they do claim to give you a strong, accurate, durable timekeeper for the money, and don'b you forget ib. The Waterbury Watch is cheap, simple, strong, durable, massive, and exact. The caso is plain nickel, wearing equal to silver, and the movemenb i 9 guaranbeed to keep bimo, if uscdv with'ordinary care, equal to the besh English watches, and better than any of the cheap ones. Tho Waterbury would nob be the cheapesb watch in the world if it could not be re paired cheaply when required. The Com pany undertakes this responsibility at a nominal cost, never exceeding 2s 6d. The Waterbury Watch is a keyless stem winder, unequalled in the world for iic curacy, reliability, and the strength and beauty of its finish. Jb is sold everywhere for 13s 6d. Price, 13s 6d.
