MINISTERS TRAVELLING.
TO THE EDITOR OS TH? DfcESS. Sir,—When a Minister upon a rail-way i interferes with the time-table a-nd running . cf the trains I'think it is time that those , persons in business, -who hare their living j to get, should protest. Last Saturday many busy men and supporters of the Government missed otir appointment*, and were put to serious inconvenience. I hope, sir, you will withdraw any objections you may have to Ministers' special trains, and assist the travelling Dublic in Us earnest wish that Ministera should keep to time-table, or go about in a little train" of their own.--Yours, etc.* DRUMMER.
a suggestion ' that the Weskyan Church should hand over to the Patriotic Fund one- ■ tenth of this Church's Ootuty Fund. Might I ask this gentleman if lie would make the same suggestion to' his Lordship Bishop Grimes to hand over one-tenth of what he has collected for the Pro-CatbedraJ? These two denominations are poor, and so far as I know have no endowments. I think if your painstaking reader of the "Advocate" will condescend to call upon mc I would convince him that some of the members of the Wesleyan Church have in the past contributed quite as much to the Patriotic and other funds as the members of any other denomination.—Yours, etc., WK OVERENp.r 9 Hereford street, December 23rC1899»*_
