SUNDAY CONCERTS.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—lf Cr M'Donald is to be credited five-sixths of Dunedin are pagans, and only one-sixth Christians. Such an estimate seems a wholy fictitious one. I should very much like to know on what basis the councillor founded his statistics. The six runaways evidently had no such robust faith in the number of their possible clients, else why did Horatius, Herminius, and the other gentleman abandon tho bridge with such deft celerity? Councillors, after all, are human, and, what is more, they are elected by fellow-humans, and many of these fellow-humans are religions people, little as Cr M'Donald seems to believe it. -Religions people do not like their Commandments to be dictated to them by tho Mayor and council; nor do they appreciate a new Version of the Decalogue from the Dunedin Town Hall. When election time comes they will, j hope, remember these gentlemen and the action they took over the secularisation of Sunday, Christmas Day, and Good Friday, •—I am, etc., Oxxooker. December 26.
