TOLERATION?

The Rock, a paper noted for the narrowness of its
views, has this week an "occasional note" touching
upon an entertainment recently given in this town
in behalf of the re-building of Trinity Church. Some
friend has been kind enough to mark the paragraph
and forward it to us. We give it simply., an example
of that small-mindedness which eharacgerimee people
who are unable to see good in anything beyond the
confines of their own little world :

-7.-We ;nee remember reading the profita of a
French bennery rebuilt a French chateau, but we
never heard of blackbirds rebuilding an English
church! This phenomenon has, however, been lately
witnessed in a country town where, according to the
Dorset Telegram, a group of amateur performers,
entitled 'The Dorset Blackbirds,' gave a concert for
the purpose of aiding 'the energetic incumbent of
Trinity Church,' in carrying out hie scheme of restora-
tion. Much of the sensation they produced was due
(aconding to the Telegram) to the 'capital vzigs
supplied by R. P. Jeffery' making them look ilke
'genuine nigger.: Mr. Stevens, Mr. Dawson, Mr.
Taft., Mr. Foster. and Mr. Butt, we are further
assured, specially distinguished themselves. The
names are also given of some lady-blackbirds as
' singing ' in this Dorchester 'pie,' but we spare
them this time on the understanding that they never
do it again. The menu was agreeably 'varied by a
couple of dancers,' who created 'quite a furore
after which a 'screaming farce concluded the per-
formulas.' For the result 'a nice little sum' was
handed over to the aforesaid incumbent, who vrill
,loubtlari employ it in the decoration of the House of
God. We fear that money obtained in this way will
bring no blaming in its train. And how can a clergy-
man preach against the vanitlee and follies of the
world if he encourage his people to dress themselves
up like nigger minstrels, and exhibit themselves on
the public stage in such unseemly guise at so much a
head!'
We wonder if our contemporary can proportionate
for nu the difference in the amount of blessing"
attending money aoquired in this way, and that
obtained by the means of bazaars, where people are
beguiled Into giving 90 times its value for a lot of
useless rubisb.
The Nottingham Amateur Christy Minstrels have
presented £5O to the National Lifeboat Institution,
being the result of enteetainments given by them in
aid of its funds.
