Freethought Review, Volume I, Issue 5, 1 February 1884, Page 8

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

In consequence of unusual pressure on our space, we are compelled to hold over several communications.

Received from that enthusiastic Freethinker “Blue Pencil" a number of pamphlets, including one on “ False Claims,” which we shall notice in our next.

We would remind the Dunedin Freethought Association that Freethinkers generally would occasionally like to hear from them through the medium of the usual monthly report under the head of “ Progress,” Enquirer. —We have heard that the Spiritualist to whom you refer has joined one of the Churches, but we have nothing sufficiently authentic to justify us in mentioning names. DP. —The Review is representative of no Association inparticular, but of all—our purpose being to make it represent in the best sense the Freethought movement in the colony.

“A Ray of Light.” —You will notice that the movement has taken form in the manner you suggest. We believe there will be a general and favorable response to the action of the Dunedin Association. You must permit us to differ from your friendly proposal that the Review should be formally constituted the organ of the United Associations. It aspires of course to a representative position, and will gain and keep it by being worthy of it. But if any paper more worthy were established, it should and would occupy the first place. The Review is far better untrammelled. We hope to enjoy the confidence of the Freethinkers of the colony on the merits alone.
