LOCAL OPTION.
[To thft Editor of the Evening Star.J ' Sib.—Bj the Herald I leern that the v local option votes for the increase of ' - licensed houses has been carried in two of ': your districts by l4for and only 9 Bearcat. The friends of temperance may well ask, Whtt are the churches and the ministers •bout, that they,can only muster' 9 votes - Mob, in tiro districts in favor of restriction in the liquor traffic? The ministers nil] do well to tend their members back to the New Testament, to study the example of the Master who went about doing good, ' restoring the outcasts, and gathering the wanderers into the fold. The brewers are ' Hot asleep, if oar church members are.— I am, ke.t * Joseph Newman. Auckland, 7th March. [Oar correspondent is somewhat, in " error, as it was only in the Thames Central District that; an increase of publicans' licenses was voted for.—Ed. Stab.]
