CORRESPONDENCE.
To the Editor op the ' Evening Mail.' Sir— What are the parishioners of All Saints' Church about not to get gas laid on in their church? It could not possibly cost more than £30, perhaps less than that if they would condescend for the present to use the ..gas-fittings lately in use in Christ Church. There was a lot of money raised for bells some time ago— a very unnecessary luxury, for proper light to read one's prayer-book is of greater importance than to have one's ears tickled with the more or less iuharmonious tinkling of such bells as we seem to be able 'to get out here in the colonies. I should any day prefer seeing in the church where I go to worship the Almighty, gas and an organ, than such a useless appendage as churchbells, forsooth. Nelson is not such a large city, crowded with buildings, that it requires a bell to find out the church one means to go .to,- 'which after all was the practical use bells were first intended for. — I am, &c, Churchman.
