STOP THIEF.
Sib, — It is with mingled feeling of rogvefc and surprise that I read the following 1 advertisement m your columns : — " A soiree and dance, m aid of the funds of the Church of England, will take place at Taupiri, on Friday, 23rd inst. Danoiug to commence at 8 p.m. Tickets : Two shillings and sixpence; children under twelve, half-price." , Oh, Taupiri ! Taupiri ! to increase the funds of thy Hhurch, at the expense of its corruption, is a spurious liberality . Ifc works on hinges, and closes over selfish and penuriousness, which is but deceit m disguise, fostered by immorality. Had the builders of your Church ever supposed that funds would have to be obtained for its support m this way (by dancing children), they would not have left one board upon another, but they would have pulled down. The • picture of the originator comes out m his true colours. I seem to soe him just before me, and become thoroughly acquainted with him. He has shown his hand before, therefore &S tricky aMj a,U kuoATO, g^ mjnd mu^
hare been of a very barren, briok-field soil, before the weeds grew up and flourished,--! am, &c, Ni&i Domxjtos Fbtjstba. May 26, 1879.
