Gerald Maasey is wont, in large centres of population, to deliver a series of twelve lectures, This series is, to a considerable extent, a progressive one, and the crown of it is the subject he takes to-morrow evening in the Theatre Royal, viz., " the Coming Religion." It is not the duty of a newspaper to deal with religious controversies, but it may recognise (he fact that a very large number of intelligent persons do look forward to a coming religion which will be more in harmony with their convictions and aspirations than older creeds. To such the opinions of a thoughtful scholar, and earnest, outspoken lecturer like Gerald Massey will be very welcome. The present month up to the twentieth) writes Mr Ford, has not been an unfavorable one for gathering in the fields of the earth. The middle.of this week was an approach of something like winter weather, but to-night, Friday, there are indications of fine weather, and we may now hope to enjoy the grand weather of this season of the year belonging to our New Zealand climate. It is doubtful if one could find on the world's surface such lovely weather as that which we generally have in Mew Zealand abput this period of the year, and many travellers would revel in enjoying such a treat as that which we possess in our autumn weather, It has been slightly frosty for two nights, and as long as this continues fine weather will be the result of it. The barometer reading for the week is 30 'O4 inches and for the thermometer it is 53 fall. The wind light and from a south or south west direction.

A certain lot of people are on a desert island and have only enough food to last a short time; but there are two ships, one is rotten at the bottom, and the other is quite sound and can be relied upon, Of course tho experienced sailors take to the good ship, and beg all the. others to go with them, but some say they don't believe the chart, and would rather die where they are than, be mad enough to go in either ship. Others say they know quite enough themselves and take the ship with the rotten bottom on their own hook, rather than go with the experienced sailors. Well, the experienced sailors beg and pray both the foolish ones on the island and the ones on the rotten ship to go with them, but neither take any notice, and so the experienced sailors who are thought fools by the ethers, have to go by themselves. My dear reader, which class do you belong to ? Some stick to this world, and will not start for tho other, whore there is Life Everlasting ; and some start in a rotten old ship, sinning all the way, for does not your chart tell you that without Holiness you cannot enter Heaven. Have you tried both sides of the question yet ? If not— Do ! And if you want to learn to navigate your own vessel, go to the Salvation Army meetings.—Advt.
