Tlint Free Reading Room. To tiik Euitok: In connreiiou with the proposition to es tablish und maintain a free rending room in our town the "Methodist Episcopal church has boon frequently mentioned. Men outside of our councils seem to know more about our decisions than those who are charged willi the direction of ull'uirs. Between a dressing down' in a public meeting and a certain correspondence in your paper we a iv being somewhat maligned, I readily concede that the whole thing only illustrates lite saying of a celebrated writer 'that "while tlie understanding is powerful, the misun derstanding is more powerful." IK- vonr permission 1 rise to announce that no action to rent the old church for a reading room bus been taken by our official board, nor have we had the matter before us except in tlie most informal manner, unauthorized statements to thecontrary, notwithstanding 1 endorse tlie reading mom position ' and stand ready to help it, It willdo some good. But I must add that itscllects on private virtue and public morality 'can hardly be expected to I'ullil the prediction of one ot your correspondents; and to make it a ruler for irrelevant and absurd reworks on the benevolent work of the church, and . , """"sonne christian ministry, ts cause for profound regret. Every man i, entitled to his opinimts, however radical; but make a ree bbrary plea the occasion ' thctr venttlohon is to to say the least not good taste. Yours truly. John Parsons.
