A CLEVER MATCH MAKER.
To the Editor of the Olohe. Sir, —The above heading of a tale, which appeared in your Saturday i ight’s Globe, is the best representation of the Christian Church I have ever met with. Christian union is the universal cry among the numberless churches. The long separated lovers want to be reconciled and come together, but each rne is too proud to be the first to seek reconciliation. Thinking tho others to be in fault, each Church thinks the other Churches should surrender, free from all conditions and restrictions ; and so strong is this feeling, that eaoh Church thinks the others say “Kiss me,” but denies having offered a kies. Thus each Church, while professing a desiro to be reconciled, will not submit to say, kiss mo— i.e., I yield. Christians, look to your ways, and lot tho parrot speak for you. You have caused the worldling to stumble, and your cause to come Into disrepute. The present movement, however, shows that the wicked man wants to turn away from his wickedness ; but, your divisions and thousand and one creeds and stripes, cause men to stumble. The watchmen should lift up the voice, and with voice together should they sing, for they should see eye to eye. Yours, &c., WM. PARKER. Christchurch, 29th August, 1881,
