THE PEOPLES VOICE.


To he Editor Of ue Commercial:
Your Philadelphia correspondent OF last satur.
day, whose generally judicous letters are read
with much interest by many persons, departing
from his usual habit of dealing with secular sub.
iects only, suddenly turns theological critic, and
indulges IN lengthy paragraph, in which, after
outrageonsly slandering Father Gavazzi and the
cause he represents, he volunteers some advice
to the Christian people OF our land to the effect
that they should expend their charity at home.
ANA now ono word IN relation to your oorres-
pondehte advice to your readers to expeud their
money upon tho "FiYe Points and the "Bedford
Streets OF our own cities, rather than for the
evanBszatiOn of Italy or other foreign coun-
tries. Ii thIs gentleman had studied the spirit
of christianity an carefully as he seems to have
studied modern politics and society, he would
know that Hpon the principle of action he re-
oomnends christianity would probably not have
survived fifty years from the death Of its
Founder. The Disciples would not only have
begun in Jerusalem, but they would have stayed
there in their own Bedford Streets forever, thus
practically closing Christ's mission to the world
We prefer the command OF our Captan-"Go
ye into all the world" Italy is in the world,
though for many ages fenced out from the Chris
tian world by papal bayonets
Within the last few years Divine Providence
has thrown down the barriers and let in the light
of pure religion and just now the Christian
church has offered TO 1t the opportunity OF a
Fudden harvest OF glorious results for the gem
eral cause of Christ in the world, that could not
be expected from the cultivation Of all our Bed
Jora Streets for a thousand years to come
was pleased, Mr.. Editor, that you practically
issued your protest against the sentiments put
forth by your correspondent; and no doubt you
your readers, to hear this good and great man
on Thursday evening next, and thus bid him
God speed in his Christlike work.
Yours sincerely, Cry PASTOR.

To tie Editor of he Commercial
Several hattering notices having appeared in
the COMMERCIAL, of Prof. Clemmer in his rela-
tion to the recent " Jubilee" it strikes some OF
your readers that some other worthy people are
left out in the cold, as were the MethOdists, in
the arrangement of the programme Of public
exercises
Prof. Clemmer undoubtedly deserves the
honor of having suggest tue Jubilee and there
is no doubt that he worked faithfully for its sue
cess. But the credit of training the children and
youth for the musical department of that grand
demonstration, belongs to the several schoO
choristers, all of whom were on duty the next
day after the Jubilee, notwithstanding the ex-
eitement through which they had passed.
Honor BRIGHT.
