HYMN-SINKING IN TRAMCARS.
TO THE EDITOR,
‘Sir, —While pointr home the other evening in a tram we picked up a number of persons ■who had evidently just left the mission nowbeing held in this town. • Now, sir, I by no means object' to any person attending this class of religions entertainment, but I do strongly object as a citizen to having our city trams turned into places for public worship and hymn-singing. Our trams are public property, and I strongly object to anyone singing hymns in the cars to the annoyance of their fellow-passengers. There is a time and a place for all things In my mind the truly religious perron is a quiet, inoffensive one, not one that behaves like a fanatic, as some of these people appear to be doing at present. The City Council wruld do well to instruct their conductors to abate this nuisance, for nuisance and display of selfish ignorance I consider such a v ant of feeling for one’s fellows to be.—l am, etc., Akti-H (jmuug. September 25.
