Explanatory.

The paper entitled my Mission" printed
in the EVENING LIGHT of February I, 1883,
was written in one of those paroxyisms of an
extraordinary disease to which the writer has
been many years subject at intervals of severe
weather, superinduced by poisoning from the
excessive use of Espic's asthmatic cigarette.
Nevertheless, l do not propose to recant
single word 1t contains, but to correct and ex-
plain 1t, and then to retire the ego into that
oblivion which, all my lite, | have sought and
which alone is congenial to me.
All who were at the trouble of reading the
series Of papers called "The Postal Card"
published in the EVENING LIGHT some months
ago, know that urgently commend some re-
ligion to all persons and why do so, main
tanning that it is not important of what denom-
nation so that II be sincere, and that suggest
no change in devotional habits, or religious
practices, while the intelligence is being edu-
Gated in that wisdom which will render il a
staff to be relied upon in all emergencies of
life and death.
Commencing at the 18th line of the article
referred to it reads as follows:
On the surface there were against mo. or
against those who use me, all the ignorance.

the world to-day in their grip, being no longer
merely entrenched behind impenetrable and
insurmOuntable walls, but making an agrees
slve war, satisfying men that sin is without
penalty and Righteousness without reward
The word religions in the fourth line
above was printed religion, which completely
altered the sense. A religion founded en-
wisdom instead Of that founded on ignorance
upon what men know instead of upon what
they do not know, fed from the great sea Of
truth which surrounds all minds and REQUIRES

the wisdom of the mind as well and
as much as in the affections of

sign to make men acquainted with the spirit

spirits.

The question of fresh water supply for this
city is still before the people. A divided
sentiment as to whether the artesian we'll
should not be more practically tested in pre-
ference to bringing water from a distance,
and then not so pure as it should be, will
cause delay in the consummation of any OF
the schemes, but will cause a closer investiga-
ton as to which plan is the better one.
