ANZAC SERVICE.
Sir,—-For unpreparedness of utterance, halting periods, and lack of imagination, commend me to the address delivered on Anzac Day by the Anglican vicar. The matter was puerile and irrelevant, and the tone altogether nauseous. The social distinctions made as between those who served reeked of snobbery. Reference to conscientious objectors was entirely out of place at the gathering. The whole address savoured of the “Coward’s Castle,” as the pulpit has been called. The reading of a partial list of names at a public gathering raised the ire of many, and, indeed, a demonstration of dissent would have surprised few. The Dominion expects something better than this from an English-trained collegian. Thanks to the wisdom of the chairman'the gathering was safely concluded on the propel’ note. REASON.
