REV. MR PEEBLES.

To the Editor.

Sir, —Mr Peebles is beginning to show his cards now. It can’t have been true that he despised money. Why, he seems to know what will bring him in most. He will make a line thing of this Spiritualism before he is done with it. Dr Dunn and he must be making money fast. Their expenses arc very light, arid they are hospitably entertained wherever they go. My candid opinion of them both is that they are just ’cute Yankee adventurers who have come out in a new line, because they had a good idea it would pay. The prices at the Theatre for Sunday night show that money is their little game. They won’t lind such a large audience (or 1 am very much cheated) next Sunday that they had last. People are beginning to see through them, and find nothing remarkable about them in the shape of ability. Mr Peebles talks a lot of twaddle, and sneaks very irreverently of the Deity. His attacks on Christianity are decidedly profane and one-sided. 1 went to hear him once, was disgusted, and shall never go again. He is no orator, and the curious need not concern themselves about him, because suppose they don’t hear him they won’t have lost anything. He is not worth paying to go to hear j there is too much of the quaefc about him.

I hope few will go to hear him on Sunday, as I should be sorry to see such adventurers making money by such scurrilous attacks on Christianity. Fides. Dunedin, February 7.
