REV. MR. WILLIAMS V. BISHOP COWIE.
'J TO THE EDITOR. ? Truthfulness is a quality inseparable r| from the character and conduct of every good S man and woman, whatever may be their H calling or position. In Bishop Cowie's in- §| augural address ho said . nothing but truth ■Ji and nothing but what was called for ro temperance. Very likely he will vote "Noll license," for radical change is urgently [ needed in tho management of public-houses. 1 At the saiflc lime, John's Gospel, _ third >% chapter, is part of the Bible lie is paid and 't hound to read for tho edification of _ his i| people. How the Rev. Mr. Williams thinks he can reconcile his position of Christian ?! clergyman with the advocacy of prohibii| tion I cannot understand. There must be '■"v , very imperfect holiness in the heart of any jig Man or woman that is apt to be led into H drunkenness by drinking wine in the saoraig ment. Great as are the evils of intemper'M ance, the evils arising from falsehood in i# its various forms of cheating and deceit and £ slander are far worse.—l am, etc., J F.J.R.C. i
