A PROTEST.

• Sir, —Kindly grant me space in your valuable columns -to- offpr- a protestj after, tie very' fiery.. criticism .and cold feeling .-shown' to those worthy champions of a real good cause, on behalf of our poor .little sick children, Mr. Hugh" Ward,"'Miss"Grace"Piilotta, and their very generous company, by the Rev.. J,, J. Norths and; Dγ, .Gibb. I ;was; very* much astonished .when. I saw your beautiful illustration of the Weli'lington .citizens' splendid monument to suffering/little children, in to-day's Dominion, to notice one wing called the "North" wing. I suppose it was •named after the Rev. J. ( J. North. Perhaps you might call -another wing the '■■■"Gibb' wing, .after the Bev. Dr. Gibb; ■. If so I must enter my very i,,1 may have mistaken •it/for the north, view...of. ;if lit.. is y so,, then I.am.-jianpy-. j.Thanking' you for your' favour,—l anv etc., -.

THE CHURCH AND THE PEOPLE. ■■; Sir,-7rTho bedrock of morality is ;tiie moral law, still uhrcpealcd,'a giiide by a loving < Creator to iiis creature man. Consolidated, by onr Lord, it should still be man's guiding star. That the theatrical performances of the present company in the'city are immoral lam not able to judge. I maintain the conduct of the religious teachers of the.present'day is immoral in wrecking' .this;, moral law, by the'substitution of Sunday for the Sabbath.. , ' If they break tho fourth commandment is it to bo wondered at that piny .writers and people think lightly of the'seventh? took them up, for .they are turning them out of the. churches' as absolute. -4 am, etc.,' ■ 1 '.
