CRASS IGNORANCE.
To the Editor, Sir, —The concluding paragraph of Mr J. G. S. Grant’s letter in your contemporary yesterday arrested my attention ; for it contains an extraordinary statement by the “ only scholar in the southern hemisphere,” as he bumptiously styles himself. At the end of his discourse on Gaelic preaching he invites the reverend the Synod of Otago and Southland to set about converting the Scandinavians. The plain inference to bo drawn from this is that Mr Grant does not yet know what every little boy in the third form ot our com nop aclioolß is aware of, lhat the
Scandinavians are Christians, mostly belonging to the Evangelical Lutheran Church, and hive been so for centuries. For shame, Mr Grant; you want to go to school again.—l am, Ac., Observer. Dunedin, January 20.
