MR SCRIMGEOUR’S LECTURE.
To the. Editor of the Evening Star. Sin,—With all deference to “Veritas,” I think wo have had enough talk, not to say twaddle, respecting table turning, rapping, ifco., during the last few months ; the whole treatmmt is so unprofitable ; no now ground is broken, but instead, wo have a recurrence of worn-out platitudes. I did not share the disappointment or surprise of ‘Veritas’ aa to the way Mrßcrimgoour band cd his subject. The lecturer in a very able manner spoke of the higher branches of bis theme, and I am sure that the more thoughtful of his hearers would to a man have agreed that this was the better plan. They did not wish to hear the old stock facts, speculations, and jokes respecting stances and their belongings, but something more profound that went to the rqpt of all these.—lain, &c., A. W. Dowling street, Dunedin, July 29.
