AUCKLAND SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION.

Tjie Sunday-school Ur.ierv'i "annual meeting was held lu-'i night in tho lecture'hall of tho Young Men , 3 Christian Association, The inc-lcmeney of .tho weather -prsvsntcd n largo gaihoring, but about 100 pehpnj »v2ro pii-etK, ini'ludiag tho.fslbwir..? tr.ir.U teres— Rev*. T. fLimor, 1. A. T.iybr, C. E. Ward, A. J. Smith, H. J. Lewi;, and H. T. Robjohn?.

Mr F. B'-itUsy, who presided, referred in hi-? opening atl'Jrssa to several masters alluded to in thd annual report,.and Tooted from tho -tatUtbal rsturas that the Union comprises 155 schools, with 1,600 teacher? and 15,000 scholars, 1,313 of -.bo latter being in church membership. Spcakingr of the evil? prevalent in cur midst, And arising from Ihe want of ?elf restraint on tho part of the lads who go to form tho larrikin clas?, lib expressed his sympathy Avith the various cfloi ts> now .bcinsf.pviL forth by the Boys' Rest, the inisiibiV In Freeman's Bay, and in other directions to counteract these evils.

The T?ov. H. J. Lewis said that though unfortunately the meeting was a ?mnll one, it reminded him of a patheriny of teachers ho once took part in in Manchester, where the Tit. Hon. John Bright, who occupied the chair, declared that ho folb it to be a higher honour to fill that pojicion than to sib in the Honso of Common?. They were there, however, not to pay com pliments, but to stimulate each other, and ho desired to impress upon the teachers present that if they would do ■their work well, they must understand, their business is the religious education of the young, they must guard against spurious but popular idca3, and understand that such education is not merely or even mainly a preparation for death, bub that .its object is character. Character is a rope of three strands — conscience, affec tion and will: religious education, if complete, must draw out these three things, which are latent in every child. As there are people who are colourblind, and. others who are devoid of musical discern ment, so there aro some whose moral per ceptions are so blunt that they cheat, swindle, or malign without any clear sense of; its being wrong.. Tho weakness of tho moral faculties it is difficult to cure in the man; the cure must be effected in the child. Tlie affections, too, must be so guided thattho child shall not only know the right from the wrongyibut choose-all that is pure and-noble and Jhate all that is vicious, mean or base;'and the will should be so trained that the scholars wiQ not be among those thousands who have not the strength to follow the right they love or > shun the wrong they hate, whoso feelings are all right but their • actions more than half wrong. Tho child only is ■ religiously educated who recoils- '■■■ from- sin, -who has learned to 'love and choose the right, and hate and refuse tho wrong irrespective of all considerations, of reward or punishment, who, ah a boy, will no , ; lie or do a mean trick, will say " No " and stick to it, and, as a man, mil; rise above all that is dishonourable, and will treat every woman as he would wish; his own si3ter to be treated. As nothing will affect a child's character more than the character of those'he thinks about most, the teachers should make Christ's life vivid and real to him in all its details from the manger to the cross ; must live that life out themselves and let Corist's character be seen in them as living manifestations of His presence, so that the children, imbued with their spirit, may be not merely imitators but incarnations of Christ. The Rev.. H. T. Robjohns, 8.A., the travelling representative of the Bible Society, then spoke., He quoted tho recent declaration of the Sanscrit scholar and Orientalist (Monier Williams)thatthe Bible differs from all other sacred books of other religions in having a historical basis, and gave several very striking instances of the remarkable confirmations which recent dis coveries in the East, and the advances made in late years in the decifevment of Egyp- j tian and Assyrian stone records, have j afforded to Biblical narrative. While quoting from Sir .T. W. Dawson, lately President of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, Mr Robjohns claimed,that notwithstandingtho opposition of a few scientific men, tho foundations of Christianity arcstronger than ever. Science is where io ever war.—on tho side of the Christian faith. The greater scholars aro still round the cross. Mr W. H. Lyon then gave an address on "The Boys' Brigade, ,, on organisation started in connection with a school in Glasgow a few years ago, in order to give a healthy turn to the exuberance of spirits which is often subversive of discipline among boys.and to attach lads to tho school at the period when experience shows they are most apt to fall away. This auxiliary meets onco a week for drill and gymnastic exercises ; has a military organisation and strict military discipline; in connection with it Bible-classes for the members and other religious works aro carried on. Testi monies from gentlemen connected with various schools in which " companies'" have been formed wereread,and from these it ap peared that they had been most useful in attaching tho big boys to the schools and promoting order and discipline among them. Mr Logan, recently a " lieutenant" in a Glasgow company, confirmed Mr Lyon's re marks, and spoke of hie own observations as' to'the advantages of the "Brigade." Several of those present asked questions and gave their opinions, and it was stated that several schools in Auckland intended idining in the movement. During the even ing songs were sung by Misa Maunsell and Mis 3 Moginie.

KELSON FOOTBALL CLUB.

1 A meeting of the Nelson Football Club was held last evening, but owing to the boisterous state of the weather there was but a limited attendance of members. At the annual meeting of the Club it was decided to play as a senior team this season, and also send a second fifteen for the Junior Cup but as several prominent members have since then seceded from the Club for various reasons, it was thought in advisable by the Committee to carry out this resolu tion and the meeting of last night was willed for the purpose of obtaining the opinion of members ■on the matter. It was finally resolved to abandon «he mten tion of playing as seniors, and form a fifteen {„ compete for the Junior Cup of which they Sat present holders The election of captain was deferred for the present Intending members are requested to send

THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.

[Per H.¥.'Ab'AMEb.\.]

' 'Tfv3 Cambridge crew won the University ,boafa. i-aee on March 26th. Just before the ?tarfc betting \v:is 15- to 8 in favour of V.vz Cambrklge crew. When fcho crews launched their boats in readiness for the race, the weather was threatening rain. Tho race, which is the annual one be tween the crews of tho Oxford and Cam bridge- universities, took place over the usual course on the Thames, from Putney to Mortlakc. The wind was fresh and tho water was very lumpy. The Cambridge, crew at once took tho lead, rowing with a slightly msro rapid stroke than tho Oxford men. At tho end of tho first, mile tho Cam bridgo boat was half a length ahead, the raco having been stubbornly con tested all the way. The Oxford crew then spurred. To this the Cambridge crew responded instantly, .and so effectively (.hah nt tho Hammcr?mith bridge, nearly two miles from the start, they had increased their lend to n, whole boat length. Hare Oxford ngdin made a fresh spurt and drew up some, but managed to cub down only a part cf the lead Against them. At CbUwick tho Oxford crew had improved its rowing -o much that the Cambridge men, in their effort to retain their lead, rowed a t»tt!a widely and finnliy splashed, bub they recovered them-elves * immediately, and by supremo clfnrt? made up their loss an:l reclined their Icr.qth In advance, whijJi hail been sctncwliab curtailed. Al':liO'.ijfli their boat rolled a good :l»al under tho inequality cf tho cflort? of itr crew -xt bri'.k'o, three miles tii;l flva furbngs from '.he start, the Cambridge er<i\v was leading by i length and a half. After passing the bridge, the Oxford crew broke an oar ; that, c?ecuric, secured, the j race tar the Cambridge men, and they wen easily by three length?.

The rßeo was a fine contest n? >i? Barnes bridge, being strongly ecu nested every inch up to this point-. The O.vfcrrt crew pulled better together than their opponents did, and it is agreed on all i?ide? that they Iqpfc by bad i»tooring entirely. Tho time of tho Cambridge crew was? 20 minute? and £2 seconds. The length of the coiir-o is lour miles and two furlcngs.

A. Pond, Colonial Analyst, ■which is annoxed, that this is a most valuable food, and it is givjng entire satisfaction. It can be obtained at most of the leading grocers' in Auckland and suburbs in 71b bags and up wards, and Brown Bread made from tnis meal from the leading bakers. In making the por ridge, the water should be boiling before tho meal is put in. Auckland, February 12,1887. ) J. Lamb, Esq., Auckland., .. ,; ; '. j Sir, —At your request I obtained a sample of your "Porridge Meal" from your mill on the 31st ulto., and have examined the sample, , with the following results :— Analysis. Moisture ..... .. .• .. 12 - 35 Soluble Albuminoids.. ... .. 3*lo Sugar, Gum, and Dextrine.. .. 515 Gluten .. 706 ■ Cellulose : .. .. 2-5S Starch and Fat 70"5O Ash.. ~ .. .. .. .. --90 100- Tliis sample was produced entirely from wheat, and these results show the preparation of a valu able article of food from which a large propor tion of the bran has been removed. The nitro genous matter is present to a greater degree than it would,be in flour prepared from this wheat, while the retention of the germ in tho meal adds greatly to its value as a flesh-pro ducer, owing to the large amount of albumi noids thus retained. The ash is heavier than in ordinary wheat flours, and'as this is chiefly composed oli phosphates, which arc very im portant as bone-forming materials, it.will be seen how beneficial this food will prove.to children. - I am of opinion that this preparation, will prove of great dietetic, value, but to ensure its easy assimilation by the system it will re quire care in cooking, and-will need at least thirty minutes at a boiling temperature to attain this result. I have the honour to be '■ ■ '■ ' ■' ■ - . ■ Your obedient servant, J. A. Poxd, Colonial Analyat. : \
