TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Received: 'The Kansas Lucifer,' 'Labor,' ' Sydney Liberal' and ' The Boston Investigator.' * ' Received too late for insertion in our present issue—" Fiat Lux " and Report of Nelson Association. ' E.B.—Thanks for reports. Condensed account of the month's proceedings will be welcome. Amicus.—You will find a quantity of evidence on the subject of Clairvoyance in Dr Carpenter's work on ' Mesmerism, Spiritualism, Sigma.—The "funny man " who tries to be witty at the expense of Freethinkers does not deserve your serious consideration If you only knew his motives and methods you might pity him. A correspondent writes us from Gisborne in reference to a former notice, and states that the Freethinkers there subscribe liberally to Frcethought literature. We must have been misinformed Might we suggest to our friend that tho best evidence of the sincerity of Freethinkers is their organisation and hearty co-operation in the movement. We have received an interesting communication from a small centre not 50 miles from Wanganui to the effect that there are only two avowed Freethinkers in the plate, and that one of them is Churchwarden. If he is the people's Warden it speaks well for the progressiveness of the people. If the Parson's, well, we don't know very well what to think. It may indicate the breadth of the Parson's sympathies, and his approach to " Civilised Christianity "
Received : The Church in the House —a new weekly journal, printed in Dunedin by Mr John Mackay, and edited by the Rev, Wm. Carey. Our young contemporary seems of the usual orthodox type, and though we are “ wide as the poles asunder,” we wish him bon voyage so long as he tries to cultivate a spirit of charity and truthfulness. #
