REV. E. B. MOORE’S SERMON

Sir, —if your correspondent “Tolermce” wishes anybody to take serious '.otice of his writings he will have to iiscontinue his unfortunate habit of misquoting and misjudging other people. I did not advise,, either naively or otherwise, “others 'not to wash their dirty linen in public.” I simply expressed my owfi view that there had been enough washed already. Apparently “Tolerance” does not agree. Then with regard to “confused thinking,” what could be more confused thinking than to imagine that because a minister lives in Auckland he knows nothing about the Maoris? Apparently your correspondent has not been in Auckland for many years. Then again, he talks about "antiMaoris.” To whom does he refer? Maybe it is to those who, in their mistaken zeal, are white-anting the efforts of those who are genuinely striving to get the Maori people, as a whole, on to a good and stable social status. A man who had more wisdom than "Tolerance" once wrote these words: “Faithful are the wounds of a friend.” PRO BONO PUBLICO. rThis correspondence is now closed. --Ed. Herald. 1
