CORRESPONDENCE.

We do not hold on telves responsible for opinions expressed by correspondents.

To me Ejitob. Sib,—Will you allow iae a little of your valuable medium to thank “ Queere’ 5 (or the interest ho takes in his fcdlow townsmen and biniself. I quite agree with “ Quan'e ’’ that we ought to know more about the com’ng cle gyrnan, and, jf possible, the expenses tUu!, r e " inculentul to bis removes.” Surely tho*e gentlemen who iom the committee, and! their relptives, must know something. I do not quiifc ondev i od how tho.liev. Air. Jordan’s countenance wld eq-.fi e our assistance—but let that go.—l rm, &c.*, One ob those Others. Te Papa s September 25, 1872. 'TO Of 118 EDITOR. ■ am truly grieved to see another really pe and- offensive anonymous letter appear in your issue of Wednesday, signed “ Qurere.” Such ex o 'essians ps, ‘‘the • A veil deacon’s clergyman,” “ Archdeacoaß‘own’s enrate,” and “the few gentle, men. lb'ming the committee and their relations,” being iuli of insinuations. Tour co-respondent “ Quiere ” claims to speak “on bena’f of Id's fellow townsmen.” In the character of a representative be should give his name. He seems also anxious to “sympathise -with and support a minister of Christ in his noble and desirable wo-k.” This affords anoiher reason for asking his name. If hb will publish it in your nest, issue, be shall be supplied with all the pjtt.iculars he wishes for, and he will find an opportunity afforded him of adding h’s signal uro to the guarantee list for support of our expected clergyman. There j 9 neither English clergyman nor church in Tauranga at, this time. An entirely voluntary service has been given every Sunday, for several years, by the Fen. Archdeacon Brown in the Native Mission chapel, and it appears to be ungrateful, ungenerous, and in bad taste to stir up ill-feeimg now, as gratuitous service is so soon to give place to a paid ministry.—l am, &c., Samhee L. Ct.abke, One of the Committee. Friday, September 27, 1872.
