"RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION IN SCHOOLS."
[to the editok]. Sik—l am glad thai you havo hayo called attention to a joint application made 3} years ago, by the then Protestant Ministers of Masterton for permission to give religious instruction in the day schools, because it will afford me an opportunity of giving a brief explanation. In view of that application, you call my present protest" a curious slip" the only slip about it, is a slip of memory. Of course the minute book is conclusive and I accept it as sncb, but i have no recollection whatever of signing such an application, the whole affair lias gone completely from my mind. My present action is taken as the result ofa close study of the various educational systems that obtain, and whateyer uiy views were 3} years ago, I think I am wisei to-day in being in full sympathy with the schoolmaster imparting Biblical morals from a suitable texl book in school hours.—l aui etc., Jons Dukes
