M. Isitc, M.P.. at a public meeting at Cashmere last night. Mr Isitt said it would be necessary for tho teacher to explain that the publican referred to in the Bible was not the maai who pulled the pump handle that put a large amount of froth on a small amount of fluid, but that, in the days that the Bible, referred to was the tax-gatherer—a far more unpopular individual.
