to rax editob or Tar press Sir--The Ufv. C. E. Perry dies not appear to be \ eo'ind authority on early colonisation in New Zealand or Canterbury-. On the qur-tion of a tlergvman's raiment, or his status as a priest, however. Mr Perry claims to speak with authority, having apparently given a Ine'.s devotion to Church ritnal. Unfortun>t?ly. much has happened situe the foundation of this province, and amongit other things universal education, to change our attitude to Church vc-tments and dogmas. Tt i.s curious that a report of the attitude rf tlu- Bishop cf Birmingham with regard to th.-><? same matters of ritual should appear in your rolurr.ns on the siir.e date- as Mr Perrv'-j lett-r. Truly. iuu<-h has happened, as Mr Pf>rry remark*, since the founding of Canterbury.—Yours, etc., HY, SMART. December 27th, 1021*.
