THE ROYAL VISIT.
TO THE EDITOB. Sir— My reason for Denning these few lines is to call attention through youi valuable paper to a great danger which is Just- upon vs — that is, of dishonouring God in our desire to honour the King by fiving his son a very hearty welcome, refer to what has token place on the other si.de and also in Auckland, last Lord's Day, as reported in to-night's Post-r-that "everything bore the appearance of an exceedingly ousy working day." Now, this is putting things, upside down by thus putting the King first and God •anywhere or nowhere. Jeremiah exclaims, 10-7, "Who would not fear Thee, king of nations." Is this fair land that God has so greatly blessed about to rise to the challenge of the old prophet and say, "We will not : we will honour the King, bub we will not fear God"? Alas! alas! if that daj has come, better for us as a people we had not been born. — I am, etc., J. BUMGAY. Wellington, 10th June, 1901.
