SUNDAY TRAFFIC.

TO TBI EDITOB. Sir, —I notice in your correspondence column a letter signed "Mons," in which the author zealously advocates the running of the Roslyn cars on Sabbath that he and 2,000 other of the inhabitants may be enabled to worship God in comfort. Does "Mons" really believe in a God? If he doeß not, then why worship Him? If he does, then why not obey Bis commandments ? In my opinion the question resolves itself into this: " Are the laws of the Almighty Creator and the rights of the Roslyn tram employes to be trampled under foot to enable the 2,000 inhabitants of Roslyn to enact a lie ?" Every man and woman acts a lie when they pretend to worship the Supreme BeiDg with their lips, while in their hearts they treat His commands with contempt, It makes one sad to think that the man treads New Zealand soil who would grudge to walk along a muddy road in a shower of rain to thank the Saviour who lived on earth a homeless wanderer, and died a cruel and shameful death, that such men as heßshould be reconciled to the Almighty Father, whose holy law he uses as a door mat to wipe the mud off his boots,—l am, etc., A Plain Man. Dunedin, October 12. TO THE EDITOB. Sib,—l feel Borry that we should have men in this nineteenth century who do not know that our interests are so interwoven that if an injustice is done to a small section of the community the whole must suffer, and that majorities, both paßt and present, have been guilty of the grossest inhumanity, I would advise "Mons" to cultivate the spirit of righteousness thst exalteth a nation, and try to find pleasure in practising the golden rule.—l am, etc.. Day os Rasa. Dunedin, October 10.
