J. Kerr, and ministerial. ‘b'reth- ren of his in Scotland, who do not approve of his Sunday visit to Can- ada‘s great cataract. Not long ago the following letters were exuhanged in the Scotch press between Rev. Mr. Kerr and one of his critics. Rev.

As for the assertion he believed there was always somebpdy coming to buy his farm for the last 19 years, while the purchaser never turneu up, there was nothing remarkable about that, as he was anxious to sell his farm and go to British Columbia and ful- ly expected a purchaser. In regard to the alleged impres- sion that he had, or he expected to bb, appointed judge of the district of Halibnrton, he didn’t imagine there was anything unreasonable in sup- posing that a man familiar with the district and its conditions, rather than the\ sort of lawyer that could be got to accept a judgeship in an unorganized, remote, and sparsely settled district, should be selected.

In the next place Mr. Wallace was not reported as making any strictures upon the in- telligence or morals of German peo- ple. What he‘ said Was that “the sym- bols oi‘ lthe dead Christ were symh‘uht also of the church in Germany. ” He did not say that the Germans are unchristian or, irreligioua, and hence does not necessarily (is- agree with Rev.

But he will not go to church, and in the city of Berlin, with a popula- tion three-fourths that 0! Ontario, there are less than seventy churches. Should we infer from this that the German is irreligious? Does it fol- low that he ignores the teachings of Jesus ? Hardly. Rather, he is not pious. He takes religion thought- fully, seriously, understand-ingly, and calmly smiles or frowns at the emo- tional utterances that all too fre- quently pass for” Christianity in our English-speaking family. Indeed, there are those who believe it proâ€" fitable for the young English-speakâ€" ing college graduate, even the divin- ity graduate, to go to Germany and breathe the atmosphere and acquire the ideas of its theologians and men of science before beginning life’s work. Are you sure, Mr. Editor. that you correctly quoted the Rev. Mr. Wallace in this oonnectiom? Yours very sincerely, GEO. A. POWLES. (If our report made Mr. Wallace say what Mr. Powlcs assumes that he said, it certainly did not quote him accurately. As a matter of fact, we think Mr. Powles has mis- read 'the report. Mr. Wallace did recently that the German pays his bills better than any other nation- ality. and all observers agree in ranking him high as a man of peace, industry. and domastic virtue, while as a student and thinker he surpas- ses them all.
