ORGAN RECITALS.

"White Elephant" criticises the lettw «f "Lover of Justice." He leaves out the thief points, and then calls "Lover of Justice' I have attended organ recitals in other hii and always the same order of programme lit been observed.—masterpieces at the bcsmant in the middle and at the end, and the interiS filled op with light classics. Let Brno Publico 9 blame the City Council for the cdi hall and hard seats, not the organist - Hmr would the Prime Minister, or the Major, the city engineer, or the city solicitor like to hsTe the public crying out for a turn at his job? Why should Auckland be alone in fli—«g«rtT«w treatment of its city organist? "White Elephant" asks, what do we owe our oiganist? I suggest that at least the writers of the various letters of complaint owe an apology to the man who has done faithful work, m* we who have enjoyed unalloyed pleasure and have been lifted out of thegrim atmosphere of eveiyday life into a kingdom of peace and seremtv, we owe-him unbounded thanks. Are we as a race degenerating? Such letters would have been unthinkable twenty years ago.- Let the writers go their way and leave us in peace. LOVER OF JUSTICE.
