CHURCH I EASES-LANDLORD AND TENANTS.
TO THE EDITOR. Snt, I was pleased to read the letter of " A Presbyterian " in your morning contemporary, in regard to Church leases. All the otner public bodies, as well as most private individual, have had to materially reduce their rents; and, instead of the Presbyterian Church Board of Property being the last to reduce, I think that they should have been the first to recognise the hardship inflicted upon their tenants, and not drive them, as "A Presbyterian " says, to "throw up the sponge." If those interested directly and indirectly in Church leases were to withdraw their regular and not very small subscriptions to thiß Church the difference would soon be felt; but because its adherents have been and are still giving to the utmost of their ability, I think it is most unchristian and inconsistent for the members of the Board to hold out any longer.—l am, etc., Knox. Dunedin, Nove Tiber 2.
