A Reply To Mr Lysnar.
• ' (To the Editor of the Times). Sir _I was considerable surprised on reading a letter from Mr Lysnar re Sunday Prohibition Meetings. His bare assertion regarding the “ forcing of a wretched immoral policy upon the people ” is a subject upon which there is likely to be much diversity of opinion. Truly there seems to be no teaching too absurd to find an advocate. Might I ask the gentleman if he considers it lawful to do good on the Sabbath day ? Is it more lawful to sell liquor on the Sabbath day than to preach the evils of the traffic ? I should like to refer Mr Lysnar to Carlyle’s definition of the British public : “ Forty million of people—mostly fools.’*—l am, etc., Common Sense.
