"CHARITY SHALL COVER THE MULTITUDE OF SINS."
| (To the Editor.) ' it not for the artistic 4 Sir,—Wv din the letter appealability displays over the ing in your issue y*.. I should not signature "Charity" nen could reply to it. Only an expert * -a of make such a plauoible defenu such a trade. Does the writer, hov. ever, believe that the public likely to accept such pleas as genuine, when he repeatedly pays advertising rates for long letters in defence of a trade which he admits has robbed him of his dearest friend? Surely if "Charity's" sorrow for th 4 memory of his "poor dead friend" (these are his own words) were genuine, he would join with us in our endeavour to put down the enemy which destroyed him. Doss he not fear least, during the next three years, it should claim others of his dear friends who yet remain to him? Is it not surprising, sir, that the Liquor Party has not yet been able to put forward one man with sufficient courage to sign his name openly to the foolish letters which are appearing daily in your columns? "Charity" fails to cover up tha multitude of sins for which the Trade is responsible.—l am, etc.,
