Thtso constitute the Board ot Investment, und at its meetings its members must be unanimous in tuvour of any loan on mortgage before

such loan can be legal. The Act limits tbe amount of any loan on mortgage- to' £5,000. I am not sure if this restriction was alto ijether judicious, so far as some profitable investments aro concerned; but that was, tha opinion ot Parliament, und if there was.' an eiror it was on tho sido of ptudenco. A new scheme oi mortgage has jest been in augurated, that of repayment of principal and interest by instalments,whereby within a aiven p.riod of twelve, fifteen, or twenty years tbe whole loan may be liquidated on terms which will be found convenient to tha (hritty borrower. Policy-holders in this Department may rest satisfied. The inviolable guarantee of the colony secures the payment of-thoir policy monoys when they fall due. Our insurances are limited to ..4000, which is. the fullest amount under taken on any one life In addi tion to the absolute security afforded, the premiums charged are very low, and tho mortality, by reason of the most careful selection which it is possible to exercise, is remarkably low. The climatic advantages ol New Zealand in this respect aro patent ; arid possibly it is these which have contributed to bring so many rival es tablishments to our slioios, in the hope of lessening the average death-rate, which is so much lusher in tropical Queensland and other colonies, and in America, with its wide extremes of temperaturo, which ran.c ! from 9U degiees Fahrenheit to 20 and even 30 below /.ero. The marked difference is eliowr, by a tablo, which I have taken from tbo latest statistical returns : — ■ l>ath Date Oolony. norlO-lllof 1 ooiiL.tion.

Father O'Gara on Calumny and Detraction.

lAt St. Benedict's temporary church last Sunday evening Father O'Gnra, in com mencing his sermon, said that by the order of his supeiior, and not at his own wiah or desire, he had been directed to speak to the congregation on the subject of " Rash Judgment, Detraction and Calumny " He introduced the subject by enlarging upon the wonderful gift of speech that was so peculiarly characteristic of man. By tho exerciso of this faculty man communi cated to his fellow-man his greatest knowledge, his noblest thoughts, and highest aspiration". The possession of this power had secured the transmission from ago to ago, and from generation to genera tion, of tho most solemn rites and cere monies, as well as the customs which .now prevail. But God's greatest gifts and choicest blessings were liable to abuse, and so it came to paß9 that the glorious power of speech was by many converted into a curse, and used for tho purposos of calumniation, detraction, and slander. These faults were more characteristic of old people than of the young, on account, d;ublless, of thai* having moro time at their disposal, while young people's minds wore ocoupied wit]i other matters Person ■■ often came to most erroneous conclusion*, through ignorance, and haste For instance, a man n-as some times suddenly called away far a fetn months, and thiß frequently [_aye rise to baselesa rumours of a most damaging nature. It grieved him (the preacher) very much to say that slander was painfully and terribly conspicuous amongst the parishioners of St. Benedict's. When a person gavo utterance to slander and calumny, tho only reparation bo could mako was v public denial, for it was iin. pus-rible otherwise to remedy the injury d«ne The Church hail always regardeel slander and detiaction with, horror, and severe penances v'vpro in variably inflicted, upon tho oi'leudevs. A Homan princess for ofientiing in thia way had been ordered by St. .'tulip Nt-ri to take a dead fowl under her arm, and, plucking tho feathers as sho walked from her palace towards the Tiber, she was to scatter them in tbe wind, and when all the feathers had boon plucked sh,e had to return and pick up eyory one of them, A >oung man hp.d rjneo _rono to a strangQ priest ftnd confessed that ho had publicly taken away a lady's character by slandering her. Too holy man «as horrified; heie fusod to absolve him, and raising his hands, cried, ' For Clod's sake go away !" There upon tbe young man wont tv his own con fe-ssor, and after confessing, asked why he had beon relusc-d absolution by tho priest ho went to fir„t, and ho was told that it wee because tho holy man had gesa tha. he wa'a not sincere iv. bin ionjescirjn. 'and that "bo" was uuwiliiig to' mako the public .£■' paicu^on which his ceiifeesqr nQw de manded fvon. hirrj, T.io young man pr_ tested ftgain and again that itTvas impos sible for him to undergo such an ordeal, but bis oonfcosor firmly Insisted that he must do it, and ot last the young men con sented and made the public denial required oi him The reverend gentleman pointed out how i asy it was to blast tho fair faia^ I of anyone by sltjnrfar, DiiutriDy, and'det.a'd'-' i tion, cnej hoy.' df I yculr,''and'everi impo^sifclai it was iv many instances to remedy the in. justice done. lie concluded by beseech ing the parhlvoners of St. Benedict's to ' regard with horror the fins ho hud alluded to, aud to be honest, truthful, charitable, and jest iv all that thoy said and did. The discourse appeared to have a special in terest for the congregation, and it yak listened to with rapt atteniiori (rens b^gin". ning to end,
