To th Editor o the Hitr011 142.7081tor. - Sue.—In this age of strikes, combine, tions and scarcity of laborers, it behooveg every farmer who has the welfare of the country at heart to husband. his re• . sources, because there is. no disputing the fact that agricultural productions are the great stave of , the Dominion. The -agriculturists of Huron, through their 'industry, intelligenee and enterprise, have made the County second Us none in the Prevince. It is well known that we have voluntarily taxed ourselves very heavily for years and, paid our indebteil- nese to the last cent, in order to build our railroads, our fine net -work of gravel roads and other public improve- ments. ..Now, I am in favor of necessary, railroads, because I believe that novv, no county can bei -thoroughly prosperous without the aid of railroads to carry off its surplus precincts. But, there is a possibility of . overdoing the (matter, aa well as a fernier overstocking his 'farms Our magnificent salt works and the flourishing condition �t our County have been the means. of attracting a large num- -ber of sharpers and •capitalists, who have ed in the kingdom, but has had one pic- considered it a line field for their opera- ture of him at 1 tin and even has he tious.

The congrega- road from Loudon, and, strange to say, tion assembled in Mr. Spurgeon's Taber- ' they have induced a large nuinber of very the journey over the intelligent and well-meaning farmersiz the township of Hullett to swallow their bait. Well, sir, can y.ou (believe that our Municipal Council in Hullett, during the year of ' 1872, has submitted no less than three different by-laws for the pur- pose of :increasing our taxation? Never- theless, such is the fact. The first was for the trifling sum of only $15,0Q0 to aid the London, if urou and. Bruce Railroad— which was carried. , The second by-law was for the , purpose of reducing our School Sections, so as to increase our School tax fifty per Cent., but Was voted clowa by an overWhelmiug majority and congregation n nobody now seeuis willing to aixept the two ahead or bell' d the choir, sometimes authorship of it The third by-law is to takes the bit in ts mouth entirely, and. be voted en the 10th day of Deeember Sings one tune, he leaders singing an next for an additional bainuftof $10,000 othereand one 5 uday Morning this eon- to aid the London,Illuron and Bruce gregatiOn tactile y sang a long metre Railway, which, if carried. will make al- . tune to a commo metre hymn, and what together $25,000, which we are *modest- ly requested by our London friends to mortgage ou'e teswnship for; and haucl over the proceedsato them, while the nacle is well wort river to see.

Teacher " endeavored to reply to my letter of the 22d. He dealt, hoivever, entirely in aide `ettacks leaving the main issues untouched. in my former letter. the principal, points etterapted to make were the four ifollowieg. First --That the merality of the people ia not neces- sarily dependent on the Bible being read. in schools. Second—That it is impos- sible to leech- the Bible in our public schools withait making them sectarian. l'aird—That in a land where Books, dif- fering materially are each believed by different sects te bePivine, a Couecil of Publia Iustruction !could not with any show ef justice isaiwtion particular one Fourth—That in ()uteri's where the Church anti State are separated, the Government has no right to compel the subjeat to support any religion whatey,er, which it would be doing were it to asso- ciate the reading of the Scriptures with our educational system. The argumenes which were advanced in favor of each of these propositions are still. unanswered, notwithstanding " A Teacher's" at- tempt. , I did not mention the facts that many individuals guilty of the blackest crimes had been well versed ia Scriptural texts, and that examples of high morality were to be found among rnen who did not !Know, or who knowing rejected the . . Christia.n faith, with the intention (as " A Teacher" would have his readers believe) of showing • why the Bible shoal(' not be taught in; schools, but for the p ality separ uneducated men succeed in ceetain nn- dertahings may be no argument for the doing away with public schools, but it would be -perfectly logical if advaoced to meet the asaertion that "success ,in life entirely depended on a public school education.". I have to- inform " A Teacher that the quotation I gave from John Stuart ,Mill was not an opinion, but an eloquent allusion to facts with which he himself should be acquainted if he has given that attention to the study of lit- erary history which every teacher ought. T am surprised that au individual who "ha3 taught in four schools" should. have failed to notice this. "A Teacher" with an air of triumph asks "how can I give moral instruction without the aid of the Bible, and especi- ally the ten com,mandinents." I answer by teaching truth, justice, and honor. These have been taught, a,re being, and can still be taught without the Bible being introduced into our schools. "Thou shalt not kill -" was acted. upon in Egypt before the law was given on Sinai, as is shown by the fact that Ivloses himself had to flee from, his native coun- try for killing the Egyptian. In that land stealing was also prohibited. The seventh commandment is kept bY the barbarous -inhabitants of many of the Pacific Isles in a manner which should put to shame communities professing Christianity. The golden rule, "d unto others as you would they would do to you" was taught almost word for • word in China five hund.red years before the Cliristian era. Socrates long ago proved that virtue is its own reward and vice its own pun:shment. Experience, the ed.ucator of mankind, is, .daily teaching us that Morality leads to happiness. To the observant teacher there is no lack of material by which he lee se of demonstrating that mor - ml Scripture reading were not in-- .bly connected. To say that many will nevermake the teaching of the Bible obligatory in our public schools. In conclusion I must state that it was easy for" A Teacher " to say that W. N. W.'s " letter was not worth noticing, but it would have beeen less easy to have answered the atguments it contained. They remain unanswered and unanswer- able. Yours &c, ANTI-SECTATIN.
