UNUSUAL ADDRESSES.
To Ots Editor.

Sir.—Under this beading • paragraph appeared In your
=cue of the gist inst. to the effect that • Mr. Synes bee
been lecturing at I'lrtiend upon " The Flood," in the light
of the enquiry whether it should he looked upon as history
or fable. Mr. Smelt I believe, I. an experienced lecturer
upon these subjects, and I also believe in someway con.
meted with the National Secular Affociation. That so
doughty • champion of modern freethoughk or, as many
term if, infidelity, should he is° easily vanquished in the
=stiff of debate by the Re.. J. Lawrence (se I gleaned
from the above mentioned paragraph) is to me very
surprising. Laid al the principles whlfh sau now being
inculpated by the party of whisk )Lr. cues is probably
not an bufignilkunt member, &retaking deeper root in the
social =di than many of us imagine, I regret that some
of Mr. Lowrenoisergumenta were not if semipro bensopubiffe.
Pathan. he will Dot object to meet and confound the
secularist on • public platform, and in opposition to hie
asheistic theories endeavour to demonstrate the reason-
ableness, necessity, and truth of Christianity. Mr.Lawson= might then he enabled to do religion •
proffusent work* amount many who never attend any
plaos of rebgious worship. The National Secular Society
I sin almost ewe would not be usuccommodebnit and
would provide against there,, gentleman keine pecuniarily
a tom. Esqutin.
