To the Editor of the "CHINA MAIL."
Hongkong, Nov. 20, 1878. SIR,I write, in the interest of truth and Justice, to protest against some statements in your lender of last night, which refeat most unfairly upon the Christian character of my fellow-residents in this Colony.

There always have been differences of opinion amongst Christians as to the amount and degree of religious instruction to be imparted to the young, and there always will be, from the nature of the case, when Christian men feel that the only solution of the difficulty is to abolish reli- gion altogether from the school work and make the same wholly secular, it is only right that they should be told plainly that In so doing they are stultifying themselves us professed believers in Christ, and are not only taking up a distinctively beathen posi. tion but one decidedly antagonistie to Christ and Christianity. Many who call themselves secularists I believs have been led into this by specious arguments and ingenious dis- tortions of the truth, and are therefore to be pitied as victims of ignorance, blind led by the blind; but those who intelligently and resolutely come forward to defend secular schools from which Christianity is abolished
are doing their best to destroy Christianity and take their place accordingly with the Worst enemies of mankind. When we find

In a certain city a toper, while lately wan dering homeward at midnight, was seized with a tipsy fancy to serenade his own wife. Accordingly, as he neared his domicile, he turned his coat wrong side out, stuck his hat jauntily upon one side of his head, and, passing into the yard, took his place auder her window. It had occurred to him that after the serenado he would very innocently pass into the house, onquire what noise that was, and appear highly incensed at the liberty taken with his wife in his absence. Having this all arranged in his own mind,.. he oleared his throat, and commenced-
