CHURCH OF ENGLAND MEN'S SOCIETY.

CONFERENCE AT AUCKLAND. FBI TELEGHAPH — PB.BSS ASSOCIATION.] AUCKLAND, 11th April. At the conference of the Church of England Men's Society a resolution urging members to use their influence to do away with the evils of intemperance was unanimously carried. The mover (Mr. Pallot, of Napier) also embodied a provision urging an amendment of the licensing law in the direction of securing the opening of bars only between the hours of 9 a.m. and 6 p<m., and providing that bars should he exposed to public view. The conference decided to refer the proposed amendments for the consfderation of all branches and to report at the next conference. A motion suggesting appointment of a, Dominion executive, with the Primate as president, was agreed to withont discussion. Th'e committee appointed on the previous day to consider the advisableness of engaging a travelling organising secretary reported that the expense, which was estimated at £300 per annum, would be too heavy at the present time. A suggestion was offered that the various diocesan authorities should be asked to visit the branches and that a central fund should be established to meet such expenses as would bo entailed. The report was adopted. It was resolved that next year's conference be held in Dunedin. A united churchmen's gathering was. held this evening in the Town Hall. A procession headed by 30 banner bearers marched to the hall singing hymns. The chair was taken by Bishop Crossley, Bishop Julius also being present. Bishop Crossley said he would regard that significant gathering of cfhurchmen as something of a failure if it did not produce some fresh humility, some larger zeal, and greater courage. Bishop Julius said they heard sometimes a great dead about the Church, and sometimes they failed to realise that the Church was not an end but a means to an. end, and the end was the manife^ta- [ tion of the Church's Lord and Master. That was what churchmen had to aim at.

I wonder what this world would bo like Without Woods' Fumoub Peppermint Cure? All things would be amibs very soon. And the tick v\ould go dead t'ni sure. Thuru'd be cough*, and colds on cvorv hand, Loud wailing^, aud ac-hee, and cries; Oh ! if the mipply should ever ceaue, The world would get v fluxpriue.— -Ad-vt.
