THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG ROAD

TO THE EDITOR.

Sir,—l am gratified for the notice you give in your Thursday's issue of my Christmas appeal, as well as for your Ijelp over a period of a good many years in my attempt to get people to realise that every organisation in life is a working model of the Universe, an effort that is now showing signs of bearing fruit. Will you please permit me to take advantage of your sympathetic criticism to further illustrate my meaning? You say, truly enough, that my method "is as though a signpost were erected directing travellers to AVellington, distant 40 miles: not to Palmerston North, 00 Inilcs."

j have found that this method is essential, for the reason that I am dealing with people who from earliest infancy have been taught by authority they trust that, the road to Wellington is the road to Palmerston North, which it is not. The Gospel teaching adopted the same method for the same reason, and it was because Jesus Christ taught, that (to use your simile) the road to Wellington is not the road to Palmerston North, when learned authority taught the contrary, that He was persecuted and put to death. JFor it was learned authority, not government authority, that condemned Him, just as it is not government authority but learned authority that leads us on the wrong road to-day.—l am, etc., ! F. G.
