BISHOP LISTON’S SPEECH.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —I have not read among any of four correspondents’ letters on the above one who has attempted to pour oil on the troubled waters of sectarian strife. Surely we have not forgotten that <r all men are brothers” in a literal sense, and that “him who is without fault should east the first stone.” We shall have to appeal to Him whose crucifixion was for all men. that He may intercede with the Father for sectarian strife to cease. As long as men live different interpretations will be given to words by different hearers, and in Bishop Liston’s speech let us hope that this may be the case. “All we like sheep have gone astray.” Even the P.P.A.’s are not. faultless, not more so .han the R.C. priests. If we are level-headed, and not carried away by every wind that blows, words calculated to offend will be soon forgotten. I am a Protestant, but can see many points in the Roman Catholics’ which call for my highest admiration, and respect.—l am, etc.,
ELIZA A. MATHEWS. Pungarehu, April 11.
