MR. ATKINSON'S ADDRESS.
(To the Editor.)Sir, —Permit mo to correct two iliaccuracies in .vour brief report of my address to tile Men's Brotherhood mil Sunday. I did not urge that my- "posi- '• lion in tho city" should liavo shielded .! mo' from misrepresentation, but that my character, and not any words that I could U6O, must bo my protection. The second point is that 1 did not-urga that "voluntary facilities should bo ex- . ' tended, and the Biblo taught not ill Rtato school time, but after school hours." In order to m.iko tho faeili-' . j ties fully effective, they should, in my V opinion, bo granted not after school hours, but before; and this is what I, said. The 97 per cent, attendance that is obtained for tho religious lessons in Nelson will never be possible hero until our Education Board removes its present veto on a morning ;■ half-hour for tho purpose.—l am, etc., A. It. ATKINSON. ! October 7. [Tho report which Mr. Atkinson I questions was supplied by ail oflicial -of > the Man's Brotherhood.] '<
