HANMER PLAINS.
TO THE EDITOR. Sib, —In answer to letter of Jan. 26 in Lyttelton Times, signed “ Visitor,” regarding the little church at Haruaer Plains, our worthy visitor, before condemning the people, should go a little more into detail. During the week it had been murmured that our “ Visitor ” had asked for the use of the church. However, at the last moment the reverend gentleman who it is thought had been so ungraciously treated was asked to conduct the service, and having for his congregation our “ Visitor ” and another, owing, to the simple reason that not even did the renowned proprietor of “ Jollie’s Pass,” where the people come from, know anything about it. Although Sunday is a day of rest, and cleanliness is next to godliness, especially at Hanmer Plains, still no doubt had Mr Hood and others been aware we were to have ■ a sterling good preacher, horses would have been yoked up ’and the little church would have been tilled to overflowing, as ft usually is.—l am, &c.,*NOT A WOULD-BE PREACHER.
