POLITICS AND RELIGION.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—Your correspondent “M ” has a line of reasoning which is quite beyond me. He remarks on my altered tone, and sees in it either a recognition of error on my part or an unconscious feeling that my position is not strong. Nothing could be further from the truth. My tone, both now and in my last reply, is that of one who despairs of ever making my meaning clear to my opponent, and in deference to his inability to understand plain common sense, I soften ray words a little. I really have nothing further to put before your readers, as I am sure they are quite .able to see my point if your correspondent is not or will not. Tho distinction between a minister of religion preaching consistently “ Thou shall not steal” and yet withholding his support to a movement designed to make thieving punishable by law is too fine a definition for me to understand.—l am, etc., XiIDERTT. May 6.
