Dow Sir,—Would you kindly, through your paper,
the TeLevan, eradicate from the minds of those gentle-
men who form part of the " Mimes Charity Trustees,"
and were not present at the enquiry yesterday, that
those who took an active part therein agree with what
hie Worship at N. Howard, H.q.) and Alderman
Thomas said—" That no charity could be better
Serried out," and we also feel the same; yet as mach
as we may appreciate them gentlemen, it was @hewn
that even this well carried out charity was 13,4 perf.c.
tioll. for the Insgeotor of Charities, W. Good. &A.,
pointed out irregalaritiee which appeared to him to be
serious ono., but were in our opinion unintended.

7b the Editor.

Dear Sir,—Will you kindly allow me to express an
opinion on the above suhject. I have read with
Interest the letters s gned "b,' " Vi.itor." "Another
Worker," " One of the Troupe," and" Hater of Cant."
The above seem to side with the world, whil.t
" Worker " and "Lover of Truth" aide with God. I
cannot help thinking that the two latter have the
strongest and best aids, becatt.e they have taken the
simple ground of God's Word, not f.e the sake of
argument, but for the s ke of trn h, and they have
thi statement to support them—" Heaven and earth
ehall pas. aw.y, but my word shall not pass away."
On" of your correepondents seems t be stung to the
very quick by "Worker'." last letter, but I cannot
agree with "Hater of Cant' that" Worker'." letters
Will do harm, for I bolters It has bed a very whole-
some tdoct already .—Tour truly,
0111 ON GOD'S 81DS.
