POOR PORT CHALMERS.
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir, —That petty ungodly feeling that has done so much to reduce the Anglican Church of Port Chalrtiors to its present impecunious condition was rampant in “Churchman” when, under an antithetical non de plume, he had the bad taste td endeavor through your columns to have a “ fling at ” and vilify our absent incumbent. dis endeavor to hide still more his identity by making it appear tbat his uncharitable production emanated from a Dunedinite is not calculated to add to the magnanimity of Ins character. If there are many such as he living at Port Chalmers who, professing to belong to the Established Church, besmirch it at every opportunity, then it is easy for the public to understand why it is that the Church is in difficulties. Surely “Churchman ” and all such like can find plenty of outlets for the oversccretion of their bile without venting it on their absent clergyman and everything connected witb their poor little Church. The persistent instability of all like “Churchman is much to bo pitied by all true believers in Christianity.—l om, etc., Charity. Port Chalmers, March 15.
