BAND OF HOPE.
To the Editor,
Sir— ln the Star last evening is a letter signed “ One of the Babes.” The signature was hardly necessary to indicate the capacity of the writer. Out of consideration to the babyish understanding, ! will trouble you with a brief reply. In answer to the first paragraph’’of “The Babe’s” letter, I would remind him—or her—that the “Good old Book” mentioned says ‘ * There is atime to keep silence,” and that a wise adage, oftentimes worthy of more consideration than it receives, is “ Discretion is the hotter part of valor.” My answer to the question concerning Samuel and Saul is, that I have nothing to say to it here. To the latter clause of the paragraph, I reply that I am obliged to “ The Babe” for the good advice tendered, and that when the conditions contemplated arislj I will endeavor to offer such an explanation of the circumstances, as will save Christianity in Dunedin such a sad disaster as its desertion by “The Babe.”—l am, &c., John W. Jaoo.
Dunedin, March 27.
