THE PENNY READINGS.
(TO THE EDITOR. OP THB SOUTHLAND TIMBS.) Sib— The time has now arrived when *W_._. «_«+l<_mAn in ,„»vne of.- -h«. .J?fliuaj*--Reading movement should exert themselves with the view of providing some rational amusement during the long winter evenings. The great success that attended those popular entertainments on a former occasion should incite all parties to further exertion. Because there were differences of opinion at one time as to the manner in which the entertainment should be conducted, it is no excuse for inaction now. I say, let all unite and endeavor to lay aside peculiarities. The committee, I suppose, i is still in existence. Is it not possible to | call a meeting and devise some pro- i gramme for its guidance, whereby dis- j sension could in future be avoided ? I, in common with many others, will only be too glad to lend assistance, if by doing so, an institution such as the Penny Reading Society, possessing so many claims on our consideration, for the amusement and instruction afforded, can be again called into existence. — I remain Sir, your obedient servant, Citizen. Invercargill, May 15, 1869.
