 S??! "FVjrW^i^i ' I' n A HAPPY NEW 'TSA^'^-A^f' The Standard. MARKDALE, DEC. 288t, 1882. To the Editor of the Stindabd. DxAB Sib. â€"I wm very much amused on reading Bev. Mr. Ward's long lettei in your lAst weeks issue to find he »tiU eludes the question asked m my letter. He 'brought out his cannon to shoot the fly" shot both eyes and went it blind, there was a loud re- port bnt no game. I stated in my last letter that if Mr. Ward desired I would discuss the matter with him in a friendly way through your eolomns with the understanding that be would first give his reasons for requesting his congregation to withold countenance and lud to the other church enterprises of the village. But he does not desire it he says it is not a matter to be discussed it is simply • matter of obedience. The general public How a-days desire "a resen for the faith that ia in them," they do not propose to obey contrary to reason, the days of unquestion- ing obedienee to priestly dictation have hap- pily passed away may they never return. I asked a plain straight forward question and certainly expceted from one in Mr. Ward's position a plain stralgh forward answer, but instead of that be treats us to two columns of matter entirely foreign to the subject on hand, in the course of which he quotes a letter of Bev. J. Wesley. I suppose the let ter in question is arithsmatic and no doubt some Meth«digt will le able to answer for his church, I am not c Methodist am not specially up in thoir literature, doubtless they had good and sufSeient reasons for leaving the church of England communion, but I must say that to an outsidei their sim- ple rules. Earnest prayer and practical gos- pel sermons seem more in accordance with the practices and preachin^j of the apostles and first tethers of Christianity taan the elaborate ritual crosses genuflections Ac, of the BO called proteataut episcopal church. However I must leave this subject for the present. When Mr. Ward answers my ques- tion in a plain candid way, I may have a lit- tle furthev talk with him through your paper but if he docs not 8«e fit to do so, I will not •ondescend to follow him through all the tortuous way that the VagariM of his imagi nation may lead him. Thanking you Mr. Editor for allowing me space in your widely "-read Journal to expose tlie i'hberaliiy of the Bev. Gentleman. I am yours truly G. CoLTJsowooD TowHSHip.â€" Heeye, Ned McColmau. T.
