INFALLIBILITY AT NAPIER.
rpBBBB ASSOCIATION TBLB<JBAM.J NAPIER, May 9. Alluding to the Tararua disaster in a sermon, tho Rev. Sidey declared ho recognised a judgment from heaven, and ho fluid that by overwork tho Company had lowered the morals of their men ; also, that the Company had manifested supreme contempt for the bearing of the divine law end for the moral well-being of some of the communities, with whom their trade brings them in contact, in their treatment of the Sabbath. To this (tho rev. gentleman said) trere has soaroely been a mutter of protest on the port of those communities whom they afflicted ; but the Company have been left to pursue their own way, regardless of any claim of heaven or earth. Tho almighty dollar has (ho said) been the one grand consideration of all the Company's arrangements. [As the above will no doubt receive publicity throughout New Zealand, we publish a statement whose proper pUce would otherwise be in tho waste-paper basket. To suppress the item would no dffubt exoite comment. We leave it to the travelling publio to decide whether tho reverend gentleman's statement is or is not equally dogmatic, illtimed, and undeserved.—Ed. G;Lobb.]
