Dear Sir:

make . lev remarks in regards 70 the
two articles which appeared in your pap
er, and while / scarcely found anything
worth while, yet have managed TO try
u cay something aud hope have made
the situation o little clearer:
Socrates, by close observation, came 70
the concluso that the stories OF the
Greek gods and godesses could not De
true, and began teaching that INSTEAD OF
turning evil for svil) the people should
love one another. IL 10 indeed, strange
that alter these two thoysand years, We
sull have strife aud malice in our midst.
- we'll - those Who would pervert the
truth, II IL doesn't suit their interest.
Man comes upon the scene; there are
Iev moments OF smiles aud tears, OF
joys and sorrows. of SUCCESSES and fail
ures, aud he passes of the stage Of sction

live forever, and for THE esuse. 81 throw
my bat in the ring"
30 far 90 ! understand myself, I am
friendly towards both Of the gentlemen
sho occupy the crnter Of the stage in
this controversy; and were il not for the
fact that the Doctor presented such q
feeble case, - well o. being Inconsistent
and coDtrsdictory, would let IL 10 pas.
but firmly relieve that he who knows
the truth and ~ithbolds 10, 10 just -
suiity - those Who misrepre-ent IL.

Ne have . very good class Of people here
but what he meant when he said our
people are not ssttins fsir representation
70 not quite clear 10 me; nnle.s he has 9
reckless disregard for the news Of Our
community, II denied the right 10 censor

Again. the Doctor s>esss to be . STICK.

elaborate in stating thst the first Com

departments have worked diligently ever
