SUBURBAN RAMBLES.

TO THK EDITOB. Sir,--AUow me to inform the writer of the article whloh appeared in your issue of Saturday under the heading "Suburban Rambles" that the Anglican Communion have not (to use the w«M<Uolyon*aommunl. o»tor) " retire from the ground," nor do they intend to do so, m in the neighborhood of Ravenaboorne and Rotheaay they have a promising field. My opinion ia that your communicator la a resident in West Harbor, or at leaat that

but Sunday wh not his first v(*st, as he evidently writes from experience as to the oharaoter of the Rev. Mr Niven in the pulpit, I and others are p3nu»ded to think that the writer has written the «£««»- Ending' to cover a stab, at the Chtuwh of Eagland here. As for the* other denominations, although they do nmnber seven, as your communicator would lead us to behave, they have each an equal right with, the Presbyterians to hold their services In this 'it la all very well for my Presbyterian frlent to advocate his church ; but pernapi he is not aware that the spiritual services of " the only regular minister there are not required by at least three-fourths of the inhabitants and. were there no other churches or places where servioea are held, these people would go to Dunedin in order to worship according to their several d« nominations. Why should any denomination that have established themselves here be asked to tftire.in favor of the Presbyterian*, (worthy body though they be), or any other leqt? People should not write unless they know what they are writing about, and then only state*acts. The article is a misrepresentation of iaofa. How people can build houses on the face of hills, whioh, acodrding to your communicator, "rfte somewhat perpendicular," needs some explanation. He never expected to find a town In that quarter. I suppose if he lives long enough he will find many things accomplished that he never expeoted.—l am, etc., Church op England. Rothesay, ffibrnary 7.
