THE CHORAL FESTIVAL AT CHRISTCHURCH.
TO THE EDITOB. Sib,— Your extract from the 'Lyttelton Times,’ reported in last night’s issue, and more especially the views therein expressed by Bishop Nevill as to the depth of darkness in which this City is plunged, out of which, on arriving in Christchurch, he again found himself in the light, is a statement which shows that the head of the Church in Dunedin cannot think mnch of the diocese over which he has the privilege of presiding. Your extract says he managed “to struggle up from distant Dunedin so far into civilisation,” a poor compliment to this town. If we are in snob a terrible state of darkness, why does not our dear Bishop relegate himself to the realms oi light ? There was, so says the report, an astonishingly liberal donation of threepenny pieces. Let us retain these as the nueoleus of a fund to form an association to be designated The General Association for the further diffusion of civilisation among the natives of Dunedin,” with His Lordship as patron or chief illuminator. Happy, happy Christchurch I thrice happy Dunedin I—l am, etc., Tomahawk, Dunedin, November 26,
