(From Our Own Correspondent,) .Mr T. Wi Glove? g&ye a lecture on temperance in the Wesleyan Churoh on Sunday evening last. In the/, course of his address he stated thaWWw neatly every criminal that he had*- • come in contact with in England had attended Sunday Schools in their youth. In, New. Zealand .ho had found it worse. In fact, 1 ho' had visited the Dunedin gaol and had found there that of the male and female prisoners every one, without exception, had. attended .Sunday school, and the cause of their fallen state was drink,' What a. terrible statement if true I Does Mr Glover want us to believe, .(and tho ■ whole tenor of his leoturo pointed to'that),that by sending ( our,--,,,, ohildren to Sunday Schools, we doiso-J: • to make criminals out of them ? Such lectures as Mr Glover's are calculated to do a considerable amount of injury. What lady or gentleman would ,'riare'ib, teaoh in a Sunday School after listening to Mr Glover? Mr Glover is no doubt a great temperance advocate, but in the course of his lectures it seems to me that he cares very little what assertions he makes if by so doing he can advance the cause of tempar-, ance. <- . ;'.V ! . ■. .•■;■ -J : ;,-< ,-~;\^
