SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. 3m. H. W. MILNER. P.O. BOX 16, GISBORNE. M Y Dear Mr. Milner, — I’m delighted to hear from you again. Charmed in fact.; It’s so pleasing to mo to realise that I’ve found a new friend; a nice, genial chap, too; one, in fact, that is kind and considerate enough to write to me nearly every morning. You evidently understand, H.W., that a man like myself appreciates hearing regularly Jrom his friends. I certainly do! And piot only do I like to hear from them, but it affords rne the greatest of pleasure when they dispute the truth of anything I have said or written, to ANSWER, their letters as well. I sincerely hope, therefore, that you will write as frequently as possible, and I’ll get you convinced of certain interesting Bililical facts in time. Don’t think you’ll be causing me any trouble! I’ll he so disappointed if you don’t write. So please don’t merely content yourself with saying nice things about mo in the Citadel, and other places to be advertised later[

h.w., t: Traffic carry: Nazar that ■sgßuldfattemp /to * ‘ - - ffrien sort! Bible holie PLEASE WRITE PUBLICLY, H.W. I don't like having secrets; and I do like the people to know the TRUTH. That’s why I have informed thjHn in my “Reply to Mr. Hay” of ap few Biblical truths relating to th# use of alcoholic liquors, about wjftich you and I have our little friendly differences. ' But my dear H.W., I must toll you that I hate the smell of fish! Therefore, I beg of you not to keep on placing those little red herrings of yours under my nose. They’re so VERY OFFENSIVE. And when you write to me DO keep to the point. -'I do like a man who will favor me in that respect in a little friendly argument; one who will not wriggle and twist about like an eel, and do everything possible to evade the point at issuer So you’ll oblige in that respect in /future, won’t; you! Of eojjtge, yqp. know quite well the. Wha rov not say the Liquor T)isne Institution ngs of Jesus of ' er surprised moral calibre ead the public id. No, no, my ay anything of the did say was that the conclusively that alcowere of the Providence of God, and that the greatest religious and morakteachors of all time had thought it Intting and well to make use of tffem; and to. return thanks and praJ men instead of curseß to the Almightwfor these gifts of His beneficent love? And I supported, my statement, with numerous quotations from the Bible as a proof of what 1 said. Now, H.Wjwpl reassert, what I have previouslrfMated in that'regard, and I invito imn Bo disprove the truth 3 IF YOU CAN. I the Bible in which ition Christians proTOLD US TO PARALCOHOLfC BEVod; but of my contdhti' stated also th; all good Proli fess to holier TAKE OF T ERAGES eo provided by that they were to be used AND IN MODERATION; EXCESSES were,to supported these gtatei numerous jShlici ;tioiL , ■ovfithc ! of my now to IF YOU.

I [also with in proof yvite you bfHhem — Mile things I , “Reply to Mr. sk you as an .Jion- : w „ state PUBLICLY THETRESS WHETHER l TRUE. OR AVHETHER. E UNTRUE-. 1 said also in ms# I 'Reply to Mr. Ha#’ that the FraffibitJon clergy, m advocating thatjffornl regeneration hg brouglit ahrfot by the enactment pi penal legiHation. instead of the 'uplift of region and the strehgthening poweufof God’s grace, were doing a workjfnat had already proved a •ffienaqjr to the moral and religious “Velfafe of tho people. I supported all that I said thereon with sound, healthy logic and reason, and, .so far, my statements in that connection remain unquestioned. I invite you now to show—THROUGH THE PRESS, IF YOU CAN—that there are no grounds for what I iiave stated thereanent! I noted, Sir, that your original challenge was to, myself, and “to whoever it may concern.” You say the latter remark “means the Liquor Interests,” and you also say that with “their financial resources they should be able to find a man to support MY ASSERTIONS if they are as unassailable as I believe them to bo.” W Mr. Milner, if you wish to get into debate with a representative of tKe “Liquor Interests,” do so by all means; but don’t write to me about it. My advice to you is to get into touch with the people concerned, but I afraid I do not know who they ai# or anything about them. My brother is proprietor of an hotel ; but JPm quite sure he is not the “Liquor interests.”

And why, may I ask, do you desire to debate MY ASSERTIONS with a man representing the “Liquor Interests.’’ I’m doing right enough, am I not? And I am quite prepared to carry on from the quiet seclusion of my room, and UPHOLD THE TRUTH OF ALL I HAVE STATED, through the columns of the Press. Don’t bo unfriendly, Mr. Milner, and desert me like that. I hope you won’t get the idea that my “Reply to Mr. Hay” has anything to do with the people who are interested m _ the Liquor Trade. I can assure you it has not! It is a little independent effort, and was prompted by the perusal of the AntiDrink Number of the War Cry. As I made the “Reply,” and you challenged my statement THROUGH THE PRESS, I am the person to call upon to defend its truth IN THE PRESS'. I’m very sorry. Sir, that I cannot get along to your meeting in the Salvation Army Citadel, and the other places to he advertised later. It would he interesting to me to hear you explain to the good people that the Bible in which they say they have such a profound belief is unreliable and not to be trusted That’s all this time, H.W.! Keep cool, won’t you?—With kindest regards, and hoping you’ll write soon again and let the public know THROUGH THE PRESS whether my Biblical statements are correct or incorrect ; and hoping, too, you 11 keep to the point and throw the little red herrings away.—l am, Your Sincere' Friend, THOMAS S'. KYNE. P.S.: You’re giving my “Reply to Mr. Hay” 'a fine boost, and I’m grateful Don’t stop the good work you’re doing for me, wdl you!
