WANGANUI FREETHOUGHT ASSOCIATION.

The Secretary has forwarded us the following particulars : Wanganui, February 25th, 1884, —ln respond to an invitation from the Dunedin Freethought Association to send delegates to a Conference to be held at Dundin on the ioth March next, the Wanganui Freethought Association decided to appoint Mr Charles Bright and Mr A. D. Willis to represent their interests at the Conference. Both gentlemen have signified their willingness to attend, and we are to be congratulated on securing the services of earnest and able representatives. The holding of a Conference will be looked forward to with great interest by those in the ranks of Freethought; and those without will see that herterodox opinions are supported to a very much larger extent than they now dream of. On Sunday last our talented and welcome friend, Mrs Moore, gave a lecture on Spiritualism, which was very well attended. The lecturer, as formerly, handled the subject with considerable ability, strongly advocating all sceptical as regards Spiritualism to investigate the subject. Mrs Moore, being a Materialist before embracing Spiritualism, urged several very strong points against Materialism. All of them, however, were answered by different members of the Association. A very pleasant evening was spent, and I feel convinced every member of our Association would be only too glad to welcome Mrs Moore on future occasions. Great credit is due to Mr King for providing us with such excellent music. lam sure the musical part of our programme has never been excelled in New Zealand. Yours faithfully, J. J. BUCKRELL, Secretary, W.F.A.
