THE STANDFIELD CASE.
TO TUB EDITORSir.—t think it is about time the Hospital and Charitable Aid Board look .some of Christ's maxims into its dealings with unfortunates. “Do unto others as ye would have done to yourself ” is one of Christ’s maxims, and it members of the Charitable Aid Board would only think that they have good meals and warm beds perhaps they would give Mr Standfield a good meal and a bed also. This man is educated and cultured. “Don’t judge a man by the suit, he wears ” is very true, espocilaly after one has spent some time talking to Standfield. Why did the institution keep him for twenty-five years it he was lazy and unclean? Such charges are absurd in the extreme. It is a crying shame for a ''body of men and women in this Christian ago to leave this man penniless and destitute. “ Love one another ” seems to be mouthed on Sundays by certain people catling themselves the ■•Charitable’’ Aid Board and forgotten from Monday till the next Sunday. Trusting that the Imarcl will at last realise that the public is about “ ted up ” with its Pharisaical action, — 1 am, etc., Do Unto Others. March G.
