WANGANUI FUEETHOUGHT ASSOCIATION.

The Secretary's report for the past month reads as follows : Si a, —Nothing of special importance has occurcd in connection with our Association during the past month if we except the replies given to the Rev. Mr. Whitehouse’s lectures on Freetliought, delivered in the Princess Theatre, on the 13th. and 20th. These lectures were no doubt given in order, if possible, to stem the tide of infidelity that has set in in Wanganui. From an orthodox point of view the lectures may be said to be strong. Indeed, some of my Christian friends considered them absolutely unanswerable. Our President, however, took upon himself to reply to the Rev. gentleman the Sunday following each lecture, and succeeded in refuting the arguments advanced, apparently without much difficulty. More tolling remarks could hardly have been given,•-Yours faithfully, , J. Buck eell, Sec. Wanganui Bov. 24, ISS4.
