"CHRISTIAN SCRUPLES."

At Beresford-street Congregational Church yesterday evening the Rev. Jatnes Chew preached upon " Christian Scruples." His text was taken from Romans, 14th chapter and 15th verse—" Destroy not him with thy meat for whom Christ died." In the course of his remarks Mr Chew asked: "Is there any man here who beleives that God is so atrocious as to will that Christ should die that men should rise merely in order that they should bo punished V" Others thought Christ had died for only a portion of the human race, but he blessed God that he did not believe that, although it was taught by some persons of high authority. The universality of the redemption enlarged their conception of the loving - kindness of Chriet. They could not get away from His love, for it stretched throughout the whole world. Through it they oould appeal to the ungodly. The second ques tion was—Could he perish for whom Christ died? What was it to be destroyed? it was not physical death, for that came to all equally; both to the Godly and the ungodly. There were those who said that it wae destruction—annihilation. Others said that it was the infliction of con science for ever. He could tell them that ho knew not what it was. All he did know was that there was some terrible punishment for the wicked. They were just left to themselves without God, to perish in their own corruption. It was also asked—"lf Christ died for people and they perished after all, did he not die in vain ?" What did that prove? Did not God create man for his glory ? The Saviour's death was not a necessity ior salvation, but to make it possible, for it procured pardon for them. That was what Christ had accom plished. That was important, for it counter acted tho tendency of those who, so to speak, folded their arms and said, " Well, if Christ died for all, it is finished, accom plished ; why should wo trouble ourselves ? The thing is done ; we shall be saved." Thus it was that they were deluding them selves. There was also the third question. Assuming that one might perish, might tho guilt of that man's ruin not lie at tho door of ene who might be a Christian ? li Destroy not him with thy meat for whom Christ died." The chief guilt would be with tho finally impctitent man. God would not be to blame, but whilst the man's blood was upon his own head his neighbour's gar ments might bo sprinkled with his blood, and that neighbour might bo a Christian. Tho Christian might bo tho causo of another's destruction by being scrupulous in an unscrupulous way. The giant in Christ might not pull down tho pillurs of the houso without others coming down as well. The Chiistian might also do it by incon sistency. Ho thanked God that he had not yet met with tho minister, either at Homo or abroad, who denied Christ. There might bo some who would not try to explain the atonement. Once they did so readily, but now that they know more they did not at ! tempt to do so. But they all believed in the atonement of tho Lord Jesus Christ, although thoy did not bring in that damna ble heresy which bringeth swift destruc tion. He had nob met that yet. Whilst preaching against these terrible things their very scruplee might do harm. Ho meant that they might make too much of their meat. That was what wa3 now termed sacramentarianism. They might attach too much importance to eigns. r iho true idea of Sabbath-keeping was having tho spirit of it in thoir actions. If depend ing on sacramentarianism was their ro ligion, it was the weakest religion that could bo offered to grown men if it required to bo supported in that manner. Even in a new country like J this he had been struck with the grosvth of sacramentarianism. The first time he went to the new cemetery in the country he was distressed to find that it had been sectionised for the various sects. "What an awfully bad thing it would be if some of them were buried in the wrong place !" In matters liko this it seemed as if this young country had been sleeping for thirty years, and were therefore behind the Homo country. Were they surprised that there were sceptics who said, " Well if this is their religion it does not want much mental calibre, but a great amount of faith." At tho same time the man might bo unscrupu lously scrupulous. That simply meant un scrupulous innotiegardingenough thescru ples of others. The true Christian man would have as much regard and respect for man's scruples as possible. To whas extent should they consider another man's scruples was a nice question. He found that St. Paul who desired to be all things to all men,would not give way in some cases. Christ had also given a similar instance, and King Hezekiah broke the serpent of brass when when he found his people beginning to worship it. That showed that it was also possible to regard another man's scruples too much ; yet whilst it was a nice and delicate question how far they could con sider others' scruples, still ho felt that the man who would not consider them at all was himself unscrupulous. Where they would compromise a vital error and injure a vital principle they must not concede at all, but where there were only slight differences they must give way, and he who would not do so would not be considered at the last by Him. Mr Chew in concluding his re marks applied the test to the temperance question, and warned his audience of the enormity of those who destroyed their brother man in that manner.

Wellington , , this day.

The Court of Appeal opened this morning before the Chief Justice and Judges Williams, Gillies and Ward. Although there were thirteen counsel present and a lonsr list, some dilliculty was ex perienced in getting a case to go on with, partly owing to tho Palinerston native lawsuit in which six lawyers are engaged, being still before nisi pn%is % and partly owing to the absence of several counsel. The Wellington suit, Staples and Joseph, is now being heard. The Baptist Conference began its sittings this morning.

MINING NEWS.

Gold in the King Country.

PROSPECTORS THREATENED,

A telegram from Te Kuiti states that two miners who were prospecting for gold in the King Country under a permit signed by Wahanui have been turned back by tho natives of JTuhua district. On Friday morning a native was sent from tho Tuhua range to To Kuiti with a message to the prospectors who are there, to the effect that they would bo " cut down like piga" if thoy attempted to carry on prospecting for gold in that country. It is hoped that the Government will take some action for tho protection of pro spectors.

Portkk.—Claim £66 2s 6d, for goods sup plied.—Tho debt was proved and detend ant not being present, judgment was given for the plaintiff with costs. JUDGMENT SUMMONS CASE. R. Laisiiley v. Cole Bros.—Claim £36 2s.—One of the debtors was examined and sworo that since August last he had no moans wherewith to satisfy the debt. He was desirous of paying it in full, and there fore asked for three months' further grace. —Plaintiff refused to agree to another ad journment, but withdrew the case, saying that he would fake other steps against the debtors. defended cases. John and Thomas Smith v. John Pierce. —Claim £50, damages.-Mr E. T. Dufaur appeared for the piaintilis and Mr o. A. Beale for the defendant.—ln opening the case Mr Dufaur explained that tho action was brought for the _ re covery of damages lor losses sustained through the breach of an agreement made between plauitiffs and defendant. As the question of title might arise, it hau been agreed, between his learned friend and himself, that His Worship should have jurisdiction in the matter, and should merely decide whether defendant was em powered to mako tho agreement. Tho facts were that on tho 3rd of July, 1885, the piaintilis, who are two bushmen, entered into an agreement with the defendant by which they acquired from him the right to cut and remove the timber standing upon al lotment 76 at Awliitu. Some threo or four months afterwards, and when plain tills had cut down somo 80,000 feet of timber, Mr Skinner stepped in and claimed tho ownership of tho allotment upon which planting had been operating, showed his title, threatened legal proceed ings if plantifls did not desist, and con vinced them by survey that the timber they had been cutting was his property. They had expended a considerable sum in making roads and in removing timber and all this they lost beside tho proceeds they would havo derived from the sale of tho timber—viz., 80,000 ft. which was worth 4s per 100 ft After tho arrival of Skinner's agent on tho scene tho plaintiffs communicated with de fendant and in reply received from him a, letter in which he set up his title and claimed to havo purchased the property many years before from a Mrs Godye. Tho deed how evor was never registered, and Skinner, who bought subsequently, was to all intents ami purposes tho legal owner. Xhe defence raised tho question whether the plaintiffs woro justified in seeking damages m view of tho fact that thoy entered into an agreement with dofendant with out making a search to see whether he had a right to sell tho property which ho contracted to sell.—Mr Boalo stated that thcro were two distinct titles to the allotment in question. Pierce was legal owner of ono half and Skinner was tho owner of tho other half on which plaintiffs were working and tho timber on which Pierce believed he had bought. Ho had paid" £400 for that right and naturally considered himself tho owner of it. Ultimately it was sold again to Skinner without any reference to the previous sale to Pierce, who had not regis tered any deed and Skinner took legal pos session. The question was whether there was any warranty of title in the agreement between plaintiff and defendant. He simply sold what equitable right ho possess in tho property and it was therefore a case of caveat emplor. In other words the purchasers should havo made emre that the title was right by search at tho Registrar's oflico. His learned friend and himself had agreed that if Hie Worship should find the plaintiffs entitled to damages, tho measure of the damages should bo £50.—1n further explanation of the caso it was stated that both plaintiffs and defendant were (illi terate men and the following letter from defendant to tho plaintiffs was produced ns a sample of tho correspon dence : " 1885 Newmarket December 3rd ;— Mr Smitli Brothers Sirs i riceved your Letter dont you take annoy Notice of annoy Notice say till them i put you thare and if tho want a lawsuit i nam quite Prepared to Meet anney one that the can geet and Mr graham told Me (name inde cipherable) ought to take tho rates dont taTke Notice of anney one i ham Right.— John Peauck, Newmarket." On the back of tho sheet was the following:—"Mr Smith Brothers Pleas to take charge off My Padoc and see that No Cattle comes thare But yours and My Cattle 1 give you full Posson of all the Paddoc John" Peatice, Newmarket." Tho agree ment under which Pearce bought from Mrs Gedyo was drawn up by himself, and appears never to havo been registered. It is as follows, Mrs Gedye'e name, being written at the foot in the same handwriting as the rest of the document:—" 1862. Mrs Gedye sold to John Pearce Lot 76 in the Parrish of Awitu for £400 Mr Witker hoals 2 Notes one for the Purchs of the Land to John Pearce and the other to have the deed drown in John Pearce's Name when 5 eyers was up.—sign Mary ann Gedye."—His Worship reserved judgment. This was all the business.

This morning the attention of the police was called to a nuisance which had been allowed to remain on the Ferry Tee of the Queen-street Wharf from Satur day until this morning. It appears that the North Shore Ferry Company brought over on their steamer the Eagle two or three bags of animal refuse from a>.''butcher in Devon port consigned to some person on this side. The refuse was placed on the wharf at the side of the shed and covered with a tarpau lan, but being very "high" its presence was made particular)y noticeable by the odour given off by it to the extreme annoyance of passengers. No steps were taken to remove the nuis ance until tho morning, and we un derstand that the police intend to prosecute under the Police Offences Act wheever is to blame tor tho nuisance being allowed to remain in such a public place.
