THE PROHIBITION DEBATE.
[To Tin: Ei'iTon.j Km, —Referring to the forthcoming ilehute between i>r Husking and myself I find that the subjects as advertised are not those agreed upon. On Tuesday the questions are—--Ist. is iirohibition in accordance with Bible teaching. 2nd. Does the Bible prohibit the ordinary use of intoxicants ? And on Wednesday—--Ist. Is there any national los-; from the liquor tratiic: if so. how much ? 2nd. Is prohibition justilied so far as it aticcls the liberty of the subject ? These are tlu> questions agreed upon, and I shall expect my friend to debate.' them. I may say I was very much surprised in reading your paper tonight to find that there was a considerable alteration in the subjects to be argued, which has been done without my consent. —Yours, Ac., J ". Sutton. Napier, October 10th, IN!J(j.
