DUNEDIN PRESBYTERY.
To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sin,—l was going to say chat I was astonished at no report of the meeting of the Presbytery having appeared. But when I recall to my recollection that such transactions as I am about referring to vanish like snow before the sun, ab I can draw from your unbiassed medium is a resolution to the effect that the present minis!er in St. Andrew’s Church having committed certain faults some time ago, and now, since his congregation has built him a very large handsome kirk, it is like the fruit in the Garden of Eden, a great temptation to some, more especially one of the country clergy who presides over a very diminutive district. The presbytery will allow the present pastor of St. Andrews to preach to any other flock but his own ; but I advise his congregation not to move one inch from the position that they have taken up. But, sir, are these ministers the servants of the Jesus Christ that was born of the Virgin Mary ? If so, why don’t they obey him ? He says if thy brother offend thee, forgive him seventy times seven. lam afraid they have started business on,their own account. —I am, &c., J.G. Oaversham, March 6th, 1870.
