CORRESPONDENCE

(To the Editor.) Sir —AVliile not wishing to disturb the tender feelings of .the “Vicar,” I would, like to ask him if all the societies and committees of which lie has been a member, or secretary of, or still is, have been conducted in as satisfactory a manner as the Beautifying Society, both as regards finance and constitutional procedure? My interpretation of his letter in your issue of Saturday is a direct negative to . the teaching of that Book he so profoundly professes .to practice: “Judge not, lest ye.be judged,” is a cardinal principle that even a vicar is apt to lose sight of in his efforts to enlist public sympathy. Thanking you, Sir,- —I am, etc., ! E. G. MARTIN.

Fires start hi a mysterious way, and only recently a young girl was burnt to death on a stage under the same risk as the children were exposed to last Tuesday night, i have yet to learn that the Town Hall has a new manager. —Yours, etc., PARENT.
