THE FREETHOUGHT MOVEMENT.

TO THE EDTTOR OF THE FREETHOUGHT REVIEW. Sir,— announcement of the starting of a journal as indicated, as a vehicle for the expression and publication of the opinions of advanced thinkers, and the encouragement already received, is very gratifying evidence of the progress of liberal views, and the venture should command the support of all truly liberal minds throughout the Colony. Wanganui having taken the lead in the North Island in the successful organisation of a Freethought Association, is, m this new venture in the ranks of literature, affording additional evidence of enterprise and spirit that well merits a long and prosperous career. I send herewith P. 0.0. for annual subscription for six copies, and shall do my utmost to extend its circulation in this part of the colony. I am, &c, William Pratt, President and Corresponding Secretary of the Canterbury Freethought Association. Christchurch, September, 17th 1883.
