A CORRECTION.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—Will you kindly allow me to correct your necessarily condensed re* port of the vote of thanks proposed by me at the close of the concert held in connection with St. Saviour’s Church. As it reads, the impression is conveyed that the Church members were undeserving ot any thanks, whilst members of other denominations were much to be commended for their assistance. -My words were to this effect : I thanked all who had in any way assisted, but felt sure that a mere formal vote ot thanks was not what true Church members required, because their “ labour proceeded from love,” and they desired the recognition of it, not from man, but from .God. But (I went on to say), strangers to the congregation, and also to the locality, specially deserved our warmest thanks and therefore I trusted that the audience would show due their appreciation of the kind services rendered by the visitors from Tiraaru. I then concluded by saying that it there were any. members of other denominations who were present, or had assisted, I thanked them heartily for their kind presence that evening.—l am, etc., Thomas A. Hamilton, Incumbent of Terauka.
