WHY ALL THIS CONTROVERSY AND STRIFE?

To the Bditor.
Sia,—The above question has often of late been suggested
to me. lam a constant reader of your papers, and seldom
do any of their contents escape my notice. But I am
getting thoroughly sick and tired of the continual
squabbling as to the Di establishment and Disendowment
of the Church of England, the Burials question, and other
discussions on the different doctrines of the various
churches- And lam the more sorry for, and sickened by
these controversies when I see they are carried on by those
wham business, and whose whole aim, should be to culti-
vate and show forth the Spirit of Him who tithe Great
Read cd the church I.

Do —Mr. Nei7l-1,7 and his party think that their bitter
attacks on • Church which has been the means of doing so
much good, (and connected with which there have been,
and are at the present, good, holy men—faithful followers
of the Great Leader), will hasten its Disestablishment
Vain deltuion ! It only tends to make its friends more
watchful, and prepare then for attacks. Better far would
It be for ?dr. Neeve and his friends, and indeed all who
profess to be member, of Christ's CAu rek, tounite heart and
soul in doing what they can to rescue their perishing
fellow men from the thraldom of sin, and to fight with ell
their powers to Disestablish the Kingdom of Satan. lam
sure those who take part in these controversies could much
better employ their time. Let them look around and see
the hundreds of poor sinners who are perishing in the midst
of the blase of a Gospel Day!

Let these man see to it, that none he found standing

WILDN/CSDAY.
Mr. Cowan moved the second reading of the Intoxicating
Liquors (Licensing Boards) Bill, the object of which was
I. take from the Justices at the peace the power of grant-
ing and transfering licenses for the We of intoxicating
liquors, and to rest it in boards elected by the ratepayers.
Alter some discussion the House went to e division, which
resulted in the rejection of the bill 274 to 120, or &majority
of 165.

Lord 131XD014 made his statement with reference to the
bill to make further provision for elementary education,
the second reading of which was Axed for the 12th of
June. On the motion for going into committee on the
Customs and Inland Revenue Bill, Mr. WWl° con-
tended that it was inexpedient to extend the range of ab-
solute exemption from income-tax to incomes of ,glOO, and
to extend the limit of partial exemption from incomes of
£llOO to incomes of CM inasmuch as these additional
exemptions would injuriously affect the equable pro-
portion in which ail incomes of like nature should be
assessed. A long debate ensued, and the 11011 a• divided,
when the resolution was rejected by SU against
FIUDAY.
At four o'clock there not being 40 members present,
the House could not be made, an event which has not
happened for twelve years
