THE REV. H. R. HAWEUS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS. Sir, —I have read with some interest your article complaining that the inhabitants did not support Mr Haweia by attending his lectures. - •% think you have yourself hie the explanation when you say, "He is one of the moat distinguished of the free lances of the Church of England." The Church of England does not love free lances. It likes to see its clergy doing parochial work when they are at it, and it does not the least grudge to the more wealthy of its ministers a month's shooting (at their own expense) on the grouse moors of (Scotland, or salmon fishing in Norway, any more than it grudges a fortnight at the seaside to the poorer once ; but it does not like to &cc them start on a money-making holiday. It would gladly leave the privilege of being run by the " much travelled Smythe "to such as the late H. W. Beecher or Talmage, of to come lower down, to De. Parker, of the Oity Tabernacle, or Rev. Hugh Price Hughes.—Yours, &c, CHURCHMAN.
