A CORRECTION.

TO THE EDITOB.

Sir,— ln my letter of the 22nd insi,.. re "Roman Catholicism m America," a palpable mistake occurs. In comparing; the numerical strength of they different Christian denominations, "all ; < other Christian sects" are, by a mental slip, put down as sixteen millions, instead of twenty-six millions, which, it must be admitted, makes a great difference m respect to Christian sects other than Catholics ; and with your permission I take the earliest opportunity of rectifying the mistake. Although the mistake was purely accidental, yet. some of my hypercritics might consider it intentional with a view to deceive the public. But to ordinary intelligence, from the figures quoted, no such impression could for a moment be entertained. Nevertheless, an error, however unintentional, has been committed, and with a view to its correction the insertion of this m your next issue will greatly oblige.— Yours, etc., THIGGINTU*. Wellington, 2»th July, 1906.
