HELPING THE YOUNG AND IGNORANT.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —Under the above heading a letter signed "Enlightenment" appears in your issue this morning, admitting the questions they talk about are an evil. How bold these gentlemen appear when there is no vested interest to tackle. They know they are on safe ground, slating (he boys. I will believe in their sincerity when I see them commencing with the drink evil, which, as our own New Zealand poet, Bracken, says truly, that it is the "vilest fiend of all." It fosters every other evil. When this is cleared away the course will be clear. But the gentlemen named are singularly dumb on this question. They know they will be treading on someone's corns. Let them by their actions show the common people (which most of us are) that they are in earnest about social reform. There will be no complaints of diminished attendance or falling revenue oi the Church.—l am, etc., PENSEE.
