Sm.—I presume I received an injustice at the Sunday School sooiai, held in '.Curn- brill's school house, on Monday evening. The committee sent a person on Saturday requesting me to be present and give a read. ing or recitation. I cheerfully responded. I was present and my name accordingly placed on the program, but look at the joke (5) Mr. Smite, the chairman, on be- half of the committee, quietly passed over the appellation without ever giving mo a chance to pardon him. His temperature must baro fell suddenly from a "be pres- ent and give a reading" to a "pass over without a pardon." I do not wish to hint 'at anyone except those alluded to. The able speakers who carried out an excellent program were beyond my. Briticism. I thought the above joke hardly fair as I don't wish to be clay in the hands of a selfish potter. Yours truly, JAR.
