MR CROZIER’S CASE.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, — I see a paragraph in your Thursday's issue referring to the faith healing of a Mr Crozier, of Pleasant Point, I was inquiring about his case to-day, and have it on pretty! reliable authority that he was not lame at all. There was a man in this district effected with a similar disease, and was unable to put bis foot to the ground before seeking relief from Dr Pish, who, with less than the laying on of hands, sent him home permanently cured, and able to go to work in the bush on the following day. If MrDowie has no better case than this to bounce about he wont ruin the doctors yet, and I am very glad that it is so. As long as there is healing to be done I would like the doctors to have a chance of getting a crust along with the rest of us. Your championing of this itinerant clergyman is rather contradictory v of your protective and other local ideas. Perhaps you only wanted a fling at freethinkers ? If that was all, there is no harm done !—I am, etc.,, , Wm. L. ; Ddnoan. Kakahu Bush, Jan, 29th, 1887. [The paragraph to which Mr Duncan refers was taken from the Timaru evening paper. WV have’not championed the Kcv. Mr Dowie by any means. The fact is, we went very close on doing the reverse. We have expunged Mr Duncan’s closing remarks because they would give offence to the person to whom they referred. The news was supplied to us, and if inaccurate we cannot help it. To publish them would do no good to Mr Duncan or anyone else, but might possibly do harm to us, — Tab Editor,] A CORRECTION. TO the editor. Sir, — In your report of the threshing mill owners meeting I am reported to have said it was a bad thing when any traction engine came into the country. I said it was a bad thing for threshers, even traction owners themselves, that a traction engine came into (he country. Din way it reads makes it look dark against me, for I must admit it was a good thing for the farmers when the traction engines came.—l am, etc., ,G. Prkdd*. i
