THE MASTERTON INSTITUTE.

■"V'.'. TO, THE EDITOR', " "'" Sir,—On looking into the Institute one day recently the first tiling that struck my eye was a publication in. pamphlet form full of the grossest attacks, upon the bible. I' also observed that 'severai'coples of .the.saine were scattered .about the room, lat once asked myself the quea-; •'. tion: Ib 'it possible '.that tbis^kind - 'of thing Can have'the sanotion of' we com? niittee ?,'- ; 1' 4o; not for one. moment -lid- ' lieW'th'at it has,' but it seems able that the" attention of 'the o'pmmltfee should be called to the attempt which has been thus made by some 'unprincipled person to use the Institute for the purpose, of, disseminating matter of a mischievous nature. ' '/Everymail chooses his own opinion, whether of belief or disbelief; the responsibility is between himself and his Maker'; but I maintain that no one has any right • to foist his opinion,' however religious matters into a public Ij§wI lute,'.'whew, no I '' publications should Hie ' aliowea.bu't such Vare approved .by. the committee, • .". , It must be clear to any one that if steps are not'take'n at once to stop this kind of '. 1 thing wo may shortly, expect t'q find' amongst the papers, in foe M stitnfcp hqfe obpr pubHcafions intehi-Sj' fn • '. encourageiij'fi^ejttybntothers oharacW- ' "> isecj by gross obscenity.
