RE PILATE AND THE REFERENDUM.

Sir,—For the seeo'nd. timo this week wo havtv <nir jiotieo drawn to lotto's from Warders at tlu> Had.liold Hostel, Kelburno; en the abovo subject. One would have thought that, in common decency, those hoarders, who enjoy the privileges provided, by the , church, would have hesitated to nisii into print, and back up the two FrSfcssars who dj» straining every iifcrvo to discountenance t.ljtj l3ible-i.ti-Selio.ols' League. It SQenw , that, these two Professors liavo hewi . able to §oiV their seeds in institutions provided by the Anglican Chqrch. Wo ■ are reaping the fruit now. I have »o quarrel with those, two hoarders at- the hostel They have a perfect, right to their own private opiflio'nS, _ kit I a quarrel with those responsible for such actions. No other church, or institution weakl tolerate it' taveivtjj liwntot-es. Sir, I consider it is high time that the. Hoard of Governors should frame new rules for these hoarders In observe 0.1.1 entering tin's institniion. If the Church provides a "hot-bed. for hatching horr.ets," welt, slw need, not bknio tlrem if they turn round auditing hef $qnrethuos: that is tho hornet's nature to do so. We do noi mind fair criticism from our enemies, but. I do object the very unfair methods employed at il'.e present fee. I. . consider the Hoard of Governors of Victoria College should, „ instead tff providing a Cliaii wr Economics, provide a chair for good manners. It seems/that even some of its professors have not much of 'that excellent gift of charily towards tljtiso who differ front them,—l am. etc., . TflOS. M, 31ILI/IGAX. , March 27, 191 •!.

Sir,—l have sent your correspondents, Messrs. Lear; nr.d C'lcgWii,

'Olio is glad to iiitd in students sub.h loyalty to their professors ' ris ' theso gentienien show to Professor Mackenzie and Professor Hunter. Qua wonders ii it thought of loyalty to the foi.uidat.iou of _ the- instil ui ion from which they write—the Bishop Jladficld Hostel —has entered their heads.--I am. etc., ALLAN M'. JOHNSON.
