"IN A CHURCH"
Sir,-Who is this "Sundowner" fellow whose libel concerning the congregation of the church at Waiho occupies space in The Listener? Not only has he the gift for discerning at a glance the motives of his neighbours, but he is also able to perceive someone entering "for five minutes into communion with the saints." The "significance" of having to kneel to get a beautiful view, however, escapes him. Would it be expecting too much from your contributor to, suggest to him that the visitors to Waiho may possibly have attended on that windy night to worship their Creator? "Sundowner" would do well, it seems, firstly, to confine his remarks to things he knows a little about, and, secondly, to apply a real reason to his own church-going.
