pouncs IN THE PULPIT.

To Om niter.

Sir,—Whirn a writer attempts to hold the bassos
of opinion between contending parties it is the lead
thal can be expected of him that he should give
evidence of having mastered the point in dispute
This I regret to say your correspondent " Lsonomy"
boa not done. His letter Is bawd on an entire mks-
epprehendon of my position, and is, therefore, not
worth the paper it is written on. He charges me with
an outburst of passion at the very idea of Mr. Bradley
attempting to criticise my opinions,! This is simply
ridiculous. If Mr. Bradley had set himself to
cludlenge my opinion., or if anybody else had dose so,
I would have given them the most respectful considera-
tion. It was Mr. Bradley did nothing of the
ant, but simply attacked me for daring to utter such
opinions in my pulpit on the Sabbath Day that I met
his letter as I thought it deserved, and as I would
meet any such letter, from whatever quarter it might
COWS I will show Mr. Bradley or any other such
writer that I am not to be dictated to by them as to
what my rights are on the Sabbath Day ; that fa a rag
of a worn out pharimism which I. to be put down, not
with soft words , but with stern rebuke. If " I/measly"
'bad had the ability to see this he would not have
written se he hes, and even now will be ready I have
no doubt to withdraw his strictures. I am for the
freest discussion of any man's opinion, and certainly
have no right and no wish to object to the severest
discussion of my own; and it is because Mr. Bradley
refused to consider my opinions rather than the time
and plans at which I uttered sham that I wrote a, I
did. Thecae's ju titled the scams, and if " lentomy"
dose not perceive this I am ',Enda any fur her state-
ment would be useless. Other parts of his let,er do
not call for notice. As be is wrong in his fundamental
charge all else be says is simply beside the point, and
It would be a waste of time to notice it

I am youm
