THE CHURCHES AND EDUCATION

Snt,—May I associate myself with Mr. Laverty's letter? In these difficult times for the Christian Church it seems to me most important (1) that a Christian Government should encourage and not penalise religious allegiance ; (2) that a doctrinal education should not be more expensive than an undoctrinal education ; and (3) that tax-paying parents of all denominations should share fully in the benefits of those equal educational opportunities we hear so much about.—Yours sincerely,

ANTONELLA LOTHIAN.
