PUBLIC HALLS
TO THE EDITOR OF THti STAR
Siu, — It appears there are other ', shrewd men of business, " when Mr Heading makes the occasion of my remarks an excuse for advertising his business. Well, I find no fault with him on that score. Where he was informed that the Salvation Army refused the " use of the hall for meetings of thac kind," I know not. I have had a good deal to dj with the Army in connection with their hall, aud know of no such refusal. Their declining to allow secular concerts to he held thereiu— apart from the question of license — is quite consistent with the great purpose of their existence. The suitability of the building Mr Heading especially advocates for "such meeting" must be left to the religious bodies to decide ; they do not seem to be over anxious to avail themselves of the " liberal terms " and the various convenieuces specified, That halls do not not pay is a lesson dearly bought by many of us long ago in Feilding. Whether another goes up or not, let us hope there are other motives than the purely sordid by which to judge of men's actions. — Yours, &c, J.C.T.
