A SUCCESTED DEBATE.
; S|r, —I noto in your correspondenco columns another challenge by Mr. Jolin , Lau'ghloy, on behalf of tho National Schools Defenco League, to meet' any imjnibor of tho Bible League on tho public platform to debate tho justice ori-injustico of tho Biblo League's propyls. ' ..... ,f Jl'his is by 110 means tho 'flHt time that tho Defenco Leaguo has" invited freo <and open discussion of tlieso problems, but tho Bible League lias almost invariably rofuscd to discuss them. Swe day there may be a. referendum 011 thp; Biblo question, and it'is'supremely important that every elcotor in New Zealand should liavo an -opportunity- of weighing tho arguments for and against the* proposals of tho Biblo Loauuo. Now, sir, I know littio-of--tho-rc-spectivo merits of tho too sides,'but I do 'know this: that I should bo heartily -.a6)iamed to associate myself with a Isaguo that evades free discussion. Tlio'loaguo that adopts silence as a portion of its policy establishes a jirima facie easo against itself. ~.._ »Surely somo member -of tho Bibte will 'bo" hoffoiirablo. and mai'ily'enough to come forward in tho interests of truth, aiul, dobato this question fairly and squarely with Mr. Caughley and his colleagues.—l " am, etc., L. A. ROGERS. Kelburne. \ •
