MARTIN LUTHER.
To the Editor of The Thames Guardian. Sir, —I read your account of the lecture delivered on Wednesday evening last, at the Wesleyan Church, and I grieved that in the nineteenth century a minister of any Protestant Church should, by using the language as reported in your issue of this morning, try to arouse the feeling of hatred and malice that existed in the old country, which his lecture has a tendency to do. The lecturer’s time, I think, would have been better spent if he had tried to inculcate a true Christian spirit into tho minds of his hearers, as his great Master did. There are other great lives to be studied and venerated —and even lectured upon which would be appreciated by every Christian, and give offenco to none. And what means the statement of the Rev. Mr. Buller “ that the great battle of Protestantism would have yet to be fought in New Zealand, and they should all be prepared for it!” This wants some explanation, which I trust the rev. gentleman will give.—l am, &ct, A Respecter of All Churches.
