THE NEW REVELATION.
Editor Times, — Now that -we arc come into closer union with Dunedin we are move nearly interested in the moral and intellectual welfare of that city. I confess that 1 hear with regret about the present theological discussion. A celebrated Dunedin chief undertakes to deny that Christianity is of divine origin, in the sense that it is diviner than other religions. Since we cannot .profess . that all religions ai c on the same absolute plane and identical level sqiw -one- must be the divinost, in
the sense that it has a divine origin which is not common to others. If then Christianity does not take this, place, and if none other is shown to be' best, the palm of superiority must remain with the one he is prepared to reveal. Can we imagine that all the prophets have been waiting all these ages to be superseded, at last by a New Zealand politician? When such; childish folly appears on our "platforms, exhibited in the garb of religion, if.- we. cannot feel heartfelt sorrow, we should show some respectable grief. — I am &c.. Lamentation.
