AN UNSCRIPTURAL TITLE.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —You were kind enoughs to give an account of the concert held on Wednesday last by th© South Dunedin Church of Christ. While thanking you for this notice I write to ask you if you would he jo kind as to make a correction. In the account it was stated that the chairman was the pastor (Rev. A. C. Crisp, etc.). T ■wish to dissociate the church and myself from any appearance of compliance in the use of ( these terms. We balieve the title 'Rev." to be totally unscriptural and unwarranted, and ajso-that the word "pastor," as used in such a connection, gives a sense foreign to its use and intent in scripture, as giving ground for the invidious post-apostolic distinction between •clergy" an d "laity."—l am, etc., XT A. C. Ceisp. .November 5.
