MR WRAGGE'S LECTURE.
'. (I\> the Editor of the Herald.) Sir,— With respect to ••tho statement appearing m, your paper, made by Mr Cockerill, thtit m my lectures I ridicule the-clergy,-it is sufficient to suythat it i's jttntrue. I respect every minister or pifiest of every religion m the world so lon^ as he is sincere and conscientiously boiievos deep down m his innermost .heart m the presence of the Most High of an eternal universe, that what, he preaches 'is truth. Will Mv Cockerill tell the public plainly and at once M'hether or not he believes that Adum and Eve were the first: people and that the world is only «6000 yeatJ?. old? I need /only add that if the clergy would retain respect they must brin,g thehiselveß intd harmony with the mafheninticial and physical, priqciples and with the teachings of science, from the grip of which none can get away, and/«ver remember that progress is the primor dial law of tho universe,, and that science and true religion are one.-— I am,' etc., OI,EMENT L. WBAGOE.
