_The_ Lucknow Bentinlel, Bruce Qoupty,_ Friday,. May 29th
If Dr. Garnier cannot produce any
more weighty arguments than the
iepetition o -"Mr. Como, the gentle -
Man ashamed to sign his name," he
will be a long time, before lite will oau-
vince the intelligent readers of the
RN'1tINEL that- ailnexatien--i -n Ot---the.
future of our country. Any wan who
says- that the. United States is as badly
guverned as Russia and that lynching,
murder, swindling and immorality for
the most part hold sway there, is
either inexcusably ignorant or else
wilfully states whatif he knows to be
is his rant about the Fenians. ' In fact
hq says himself that the Americans as
a 'whole are nat. in sympathy with the
Fenians. "From personal conversation
with some educated Americans I have
niet, they, without exception, wish
t
at • the bottom of the Atlantic. He
says : " Are. we to, be coerced into
joining the United States 4" Surely
if I am such'an insignifica.nt brainless
creature as he would have his readers
believe, there • is no very imminent
danger of uiy coercing the whole of the
Dominion of Canada into a ltnipn with
the United States, We do not wish
to coerce anyone into suh
ca Union.
All we want is a fair and square dis-
cussion on'the question of Annexation,
and if the light ' of reason shows An•
-
nexation to be in the hest interests of
our country, let us work for it with aa
our 'might, :misting aside all blued prej-
udice and old foggy sentiments. But
if on the other hard. reason shows.us
that -such a course, would not be the
best for our country, let us work just
as hard 'ar,ainst it. •If the doctor 4

'The •committee ..appointed by the
,.General Assernbiy of the Northern
'Church of 1890, to consider the
revision of the Confession of Faith,
has prepared a report to be submitted
present in Detroit. In the report the
committee details. the methods adapted
in carrying out the assembly's commis-
sion. Two chapters have been inserted
in the confession, and alterations made
in chapters 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 16, 21, 22
23, 2.4, 29, and 30. The .committee
:recommends the assembly to ,send the
report down to presbyteries for con-
sideration, criticism or 'amendment,
with the request that they forward
their criticisms or amendments to the
secretary of the Revision Committee
by Dec: 1, 1891, and that said com-
mittee be instructed to consider these
•communications and prepare its, final
report for adoption, • modification or
rejection by the General Assembly of
1892.

To the Editor of The ,Sentinel :
DEAR SIR, -It has evidently pleased
Dr. Garnier, to work himself up into a
•.sort of holy .frenzy over my article. of
. the 1st inst„ and he has given vent to
---his-fseelit�„s-i-13--tlte-(�s1-u-r+rri
ravings published in your issue of the
15th. I have ..not the pleasure e•f'
being personally acquainted with the
doctor, and the only -':means I have of
,forming an opinion of hint is from that
article, and those who 'have' read it
need not tit+. tot d that it cannot be a
very favorable one.
He evidently imagines that he is the
sole occupant of the highest pinnacle of
intelieetual greatness, and from that
lofty eminence he •looks down and in a

To the Editor of The Sentinel :
DEAR 'SIR, -I have been much.
interested in the,. disctission being
carried on. in the SENTINEL. The
article 'by Como did not seem to be.
"Errant • the heart" in tone. -But •
whether it be front•the heart of Como
or not, there is no doubt but that' a
nnn•iht'r in our country, .alas..! to great
number, would endorse its sentiments:'
The ducter's plan of argument I thiel:
rather. unfair. No doubt ..Como is
young.anm
nd his invite would add nothiity
to the force of what he has to soy,
when, is it were, the doctor's naive,
eco segeent!y hip age, adds force to his
arguments. He has as it were his
'reputation established.
