THE CAMBRIDGE PREACHER.

TO Til K KIHTO'.S. Sli;,—Oil reariinsrtlio lartiele. in Thursday s issue re Saturday open air meetings in Or-.in-bririße, T can coine to bnc one of two conclusion*, '.'itli'.T thai, the writer of that |,ii.r:iKraph was not present to hoar for hin.selt. or that he has deliberately written what lie knows to be falsehoods. I will deal with them as they appear in his article, he soys, " Hβ stated" that the probability of a happy future existence for the reporter was very .small. "Now sir, no such words passed my lips, the only reference made to him was, that "I considered many of the young ri:on standing !■" -id were as good, if not better than the ■ ■• ivlio furnished that report, and to th ■ still adhere, again from his a; tide, tie goes on to say " He said lie was sure no place, was more free from larrikins than Cambridge, in fact there were no larrikins there." This is utterly untrue, as many who wove standing thern could testify ; what 1 did say was that I did not believe that they were "either amenable to prayer or preaching," as the writer had pronounced them to be, but that I believed them to be men at lieurt, and no reference was made to the younger portion of tl>o community. By inserting the above in your valuable columns, you will oblige yours truly, RoIIKKT FiT/.iJI'UAU)
