THOSE PEERS AGAIN.

. ' TO THE EDITOR. Sl , I !/"T Your corl ' M POß<lont " Libertv" would have me follow-his. oxamplo "by attacking others that the blame of my own iruglit not appear. Scotsmen are good, but Uiey do not alway« see their faults, and 1 resbytorianism is not confined to Scotland. At anyrate "Pride's Purge" knew otherwise. Yet some of tljoso ScoUmen who knew Presbytcriamsm have preferred the Church. Butler and his "analogy" worthdj. represents both bodies; so may it be. Ihc firq lit by Latimer and ttidiey still contnuos to burn, an 4 the work of Cnunner in all his l weakness stands good: w that regard for that great work that caused the synods of New Zealand to hold. J i? conservatism. „ n! Ftf'*" has ?l 10wn his quotations tnat t.tiere aro noble men among the Poers I might ask whether of the twain, Gladstone or Sahsbury, was the better friend of the Umpire? And who had the broader mind when we of the cdonies were concerned? Let the Congo answer. Let the Commons have all power, and Ireland shall be indepcndent—a splendid reward for the loyalty of Ulster! Strange, is it not, that the colonies have sought unity?-Canada as a Dominion, Australia a 6 a Commonwoalth, and now South Africa as a united tojdy. v/hilo the little Englandcrs would aUow disintegration. May-the Peers prevent it! that is one good they have done during the past century. In conclusion, I would point out in what way 1 the 60-caHed Liberals would 'rob u majority for a noiey minorltv—and this shall be ray last. In 1905 "there were 3,069,629 children in the board schools, while in the vohmtary schcota there were 3,725,855. Not-withstanding this large number of children and a mnjorit) of the' w.iole, at that, th<» so-called Liberals would take away the Church 1 * uopf-essions. How would it do in New Zoiland for direct taxation? Would not our friends of the Roman Catholic Ohnrch have a chanoc for passive resistance? Theve are some members of the Anglican body who 'belong to the Church miHtant. We are not BBhamed to 1 fignt for our faith.—T am, etc.. Fbsehan. 1
