Another writer signing himself "Reddish" would not allow any articles to be published in your paper that does not suit his religion, and would not allow the public to judge whether it is good for society or no, and more, to show how religious he is, he would deprive you of a living if he could, and persuade others to do so too. I would be, glad to be informed by " Truth " through your columns how England is great through the belief in the Bible. I will quote one verse: "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Hettven." How could England believe in ihis and be rich and great? Ireland Kas the Bible, and she is poor enough. We believe in the Bible, and it has not made us rich or great.—l am, &c,
