LETTERS TO EDITOR.

D'ESECIRIATIONI!

.Sir—.,l hear that tho Wesleyan Sunday Sbhool is to fob leasted asi an opera housie or tbqaitre or something, like that. I oannot say how angry I feel. For years most of us Christian people have been doing our best to crush this vile theatre movement, and I thought wo had sucdeeded. So it seams our strangest and most pious Christian 'body has turned a somersault. The town will go to the dogs. Wo will have these opei'a girls in harem skirts and' some with no skirts. Then we will have drunken staemes depicted on the stage 1, and worst of all, thosiei horrible pictures, about foreign places. What doi we Want to know about otlier places and oilier peoples—'Thames is goodl enough for us. All our hard-mimed monk;-, will go in these vile things! What is the use of us cutting prides and putting iby a few thousands fon- the children if tli'e la*ter are to ba brought up in this fast Way! I wlould suggest that our worthy Mayor, who has a lot of religious instincts, shouldl prohibit the trustees from desecrating their Sunday S'aho'ol! What isjthe Thames coining; to with all these 'bowling clubs and golf clubs and what-nots'? Wa never read of their being played in the Bible. I see a large mimfe of Christian men doming; out as candidates to-morrow. I would exhort the ratepayers/ to vote for this ti.e/ket and wo shall then bio- able to abolish all these Godless institutions.—l am, etc.,
