Auckland, Tuesday, The Diocesan Synod commenced its sittings to-day. Bishop Cowie in his opening speech referred to the social evil question saying it is by an increaso of tho same spirit of brotherhood which is of tho essence of true Christianity that other social evils most bo checked and suppressed, Of these there are some that it" is shame even to speak" as prevalent in this Christian community, I speak ndvis edly in declaring my oarue.se conviction that more harm than good is done by familiarising young men and women with the details of such vices through communications made to public journals of otir city. Indeed the only justification of such an action it appears to me is the personal minis, tration of those who thus offend in endeavouring to rescuethose that have fallen and their preparedness to provide a remedy for tho abominations they expose, Purity in this respect is like tho grace of humility ; more surely cherished by silent ell'ort than by public discussion.
