TRUMPET CALL FOR WEEK. (To be learned off by heart.) Some for the Glories of This Worfdj and some , Sigh for tne Prophet's Paradise to come ; Ah, take the Cash and let the Credit go, Nor Heed the rumble of a distant Drum. —Omar Khayyam. TO-DAY as of old the warped mind of woivserism frowns upon the intellectual advancement of the people. Tins tact was emphasised in Auckland during last week, when the Ministers' dissociation held a demonstration in the King's Theatre and protested against .Scott Bennett's Opera Mouse lectures. Mayor Parr presided. It is the same old story—clericalism affixing itself like a barnacle to the ship of Progress, in a vain endeavour to stay its onward course*. If evidence were needed of the educational value of Scott Bennett's lectures, this act of the Auckland ministers is in itself sufficient proof. Upon what grounds the objection was raised we know not,' but may assume that it was the same narrow outicok as of yore. These 'lectures are cultured, refined, and educative, delivered with, all the eloquence of New Zealand's foremost speaker. The audience which assembles in all weathers needs no parsonical guide to tell it what it should do.
