RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSY.
Sir, —Many thanks for your courteous reference to my letter. But, Sir, if you do not wish to engage in religious controversy, why do you touch religion at all in your columns? Your frequent parades of rationalism ( ?) certainly challenge hostile criticism. If your paper is the workers' paper, why should you -parade a religion (or irreligion) which cannot on any pretence be claimed as that of the workers- of N-Z.? Many of your readers are Christians as well as Socialists. Why should they be hurt and annoyed when reading your paper ? Are you not going beyond your domain in inflicting your own private religious views upon the workers ? If your paper is one professedly on "Industrial Unionism, Socialism, and Politics," why not confine yourself to those subjects? As this letter is not long like the other, I thank you in anticipation for its publication. Westport. C. B. JORDAN.
