... Sir, Archdeacon Sinclair took a very superficial view uf the religious condition of the great community in which he is a leading light, when he denounced London as a pagan city because only iS per cent, of the population attend churches or chapels. The Archdeacon should know that a man's religion does not depend on regular attendance at church. Many in all ages have used religious observances ...

... By R. C. Fillingham, (Vicar of Plexton). Sir, As a clergyman I should like to emphasise and amplify the fact which is being brought to our notice now the fact that London is Pagan, England is Pagan, and the so-called Christian Churches are practically Pagan themselves. I believe that since the fourth century after Christ, Christianity has practically ceased to exist. The early Church took ...

... Correspondence. A LETTER FROM MR. JARROTT. Dear sir, As you are good enough to give in The Bystander each week a list of the various police traps which are brought to your notice, I would like to advise you that I myself had the misfortune to run into a police trap in the centre of London, viz., Hyde Park, a measured furlong on the Knightsbridge side of the park, close to the Knightsbridge I ...

... To the Editor. Dear Sir,-- On re-reading the remarks I made to you in reference to side-slip, it occurred to me that I had omitted to qualify some of my remarks in regard to a car not being so ltab e to side-slip when the tyres were soft. I should have said my remarks under this heading applied particularly to London driving, where wet asphalte and wood pavement had to be encountered. For ...

... An Amusing Story from Jrmaica Dear Sir, On page 369, Bystander of February 21, you give a picture of Newcastle, Jamaica, and on the oppc site page speak of it as a village prepared for tourist invasion, etc. As a matter of fact, the picture merely depicts a military cantonment. The hut on the extreme right was the school and church combined next to it a two-storied barrack-room, and the open ...

Sir, Motorists who have been fined by the Kingston-on- Thames Bench for alleged violation of the Motor Car Act, upon the unsupported testimony of Superintendent Marks, will oblige by sending their names and addresses, with details of their case, i to the Secretary, Automobile Association, 18, Fleet Street, I' d ...

... To the Editor of The Bystander. Sir, I notice in your issue of 28th inst. an article headed, Conscription or a Citizen Army? in which you say, Once let danger threaten, and it is inconceivable that Englishmen would require any statute to call them to arms. I have to point out that it would be useless for Britons to rally to arms, as they would not be able to use them, and, being without ...

... . Industrial Farm Colony, 44 Duxhurst, Dear Friend, April, 1907. 44 Your letter is one of many which I constantly receive begging me to tell of something which can help to restore tired nerves and over-worn strength, and you ask me to do so because I come into contact with so many who, for these very reasons, fail in the race of life, having sought the wrong remedy for such loss of nerve ...

... To the Editor of Tin: Bystander Sir, With regard to a drawing by me entitled Cut 1 published in The Bystander of July 3, I feel I owe an unqualified apology to Mr. C. Dana Gibson, to Messrs. James Henderson and Sons, the owners of the English copy right of his work, and to yourself for having imitated very closely a drawing by Mr. Gibson. I began the drawing at one time and finished it at ...

... Meadow Cottage, Amberley, Sussex. My Dear Jingle, I don't know who you are, but I have just been wading through the critiques of The Great Mrs. Alloway, and your own merry bells have amused me highly. It is rare that a man setting out to treat a serious work of art in a serious way succeeds in doing justice to his subject, or, incidentally, himself but it is a far rarer thing to take a ...

... V To the Editor of The Bystander. Sir, Owing to the carelessness of the man who reads the papers for me, I went to the Opera last week on one of the wrong nights the second performance of the new British opera. My boxholder (Lady Heckmondwike) went to the first she is better now. The opera was done in British composed, sung, and listened to in British. I use this adjective advisedly. An ...
