CHURCH GOERS" COMPLAINT.

Sir-I cannot refrain from re- plying to the letter by "Decency". in your issue of to-day. -- The. men about whom he complains, being Service men, are forbidden by regulations to write to the newspapers, and so perforce must silently accept the insult slung at them in his letter.

In the first place; if “ Decency were not so enveloped in anobbish self-conceit and thinking that everybody was looking at him and discussing him as he sails ma- gesticelly into church, his equanimity of mind would not be disturbed by the mere presence of a small group of the toys in khaki and blue standing quietly conversing with one another outside the church I do not like "Decency". use the contemptuous term "gang which one usually associates with hooligans and such like. Note, "Decency" is not even sure of the grounds of his complaint and says the men "probably pass remarks about people going into church, so apparently he has never overheard such remarks, and is only ignorantly assuming that they are passed.
