LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

What About “Methodist.”

—_—

Sin,— Why does not Methodist come out

over his own signature ? Then we would know what his opinion is worth concerning “Anti-Bunkum.” Now, sir, this very in- consistent personage is guilty of the same fault for which he censures ‘*Anti-Bun- kum.’ _ Surely 4 man’s opinions are not weighed by the prominence of his name. If there is any logic whatever in his remarks, is the weight increased or diminshed by the ap- pendage of the utterer’s name? 1 should think not, It seems to me, however, that the want of logic is on the side of **Methodist” and not ‘Anti- Buckum.” Whether the sentiments of the latter denote a want of capacity for the ex- pression of a sound:.opinien on religious matcers or not, the facts stated by him are too true to be contradicted even by such a self-opinioned person as **Methodist.”

This unity fever now existing among our churches. appears to me to be a very two- sided atfsir. The ministers are all brethren and of one famiy now, end yet they are conscicas that there is as great a gulf between them as ever and are alan conscious when they say “Yes, we are one,” that they would uot allow the brethren to sit at communion with themin the church « to which they adhere This is uaity with w vengeance, surely. There is not a person who shouts union that would give ap au iota of the doctrine of his church for that as

Gught and fol'e@vd by another. Oh, no; that would be confessing that they were in error and that the other

body had more of the truth than they them- selves possessed. They cry for union. Ob, yes; but on the basia that you give up ali and go in with them, How many of the churches in Charlottetown would give up their name and sssume the name of another body, (Per- haps ‘“‘Methodia:” would) This state cf things will continue until those who are paid to do the thinking and studying for their flocks throw to the winds the idea that the doctrines as taught by the church to which they adhere are infallible, and take the word of God alone for their only guide. Then, and not till then, shall we see that which wiil force the world to believe that Christ was sent of God, and the rand consummation of the prayer of Our lessed Saviour when he prayed for unity.

Leiter from James Paton & Co.

Sir,—If Messrs. Pr .wae Bros. desire to let the public know who did the crush- ing, whether it was the weak or the strong, the undersigned holds docu. ments from Messrs. Psiton Bros. and others in this city and Montague bridge that can be published, which we think will satisfy them and the public as to who

GREAT

(x) —--—_—_

We have bought the entire Stock of MESSRS. PATTON BROS. consisting of General Dry Goods and Carpets.

The Pattons are hard workers, energetic and obliging, honest as the sun; but through the desire of the strong to crush the weak they have had to retire, not. however, before they were the means of revolution- izing the prices on several lines of goods, for which the public should ever be grateful to them. —

They did not intend to close up so soon, but through the misfortune of Messrs. Geo Carter & Co. by the late fire, they have sold out and rented the Store to them, in order

performed ths dirty work in ‘“* revol- utiénizing the prices on several lines of | goods—or rather cirpets, etc , etc.—‘‘for which the public would be grateful to them.” If the public knew the means they adopted in trying to conspire against us

i |

would not be grateful but would scorn them and their sympathizers, We may also add that Mr. Charles Patton admitted to us that Prowse Bros. would} be the losers by the breaking up of the} business, so if there is any sympathy; required, why not ask it for themselves / | Now the que tion that will interest the pul lic most, seeing that they want to let the public know, is who did the business | belong to? Our advice to the public is, ask Prowse Bros. We regret having to make this matter public, and have refrained from doing so for-several months, but the means adopted tw hurt our name and business has called for this letter.

James Paton & Co. Charlottetown, Feb, 15, 1893.

—

Let the Truth be Told.

Six.—Messrs. James Paton & Oo., challenge Messrs. Prowse Bros. in their letters of yesterday to say that they would not be the losers the breaking up cf Messrs. Patton Bros. business, If James Paton & Co ‘s statement be true—and it looks true, for Mees:s. Prowse Bros. has not con- tradicted it—what right has Mesars. Prowse Bros. to continue advertising that the have b-ught the stock. James Paton Co.'s le'ter hints that they were one and the same firm. Would Messrs. James Paton & Co. kindly publish the documente they say they hold and let the public judge. Also, let Messrs. Prowse Bros. come out like men and state that they were not in- terested directly or indirectly with the firm of Messrs. Patton Bros.
