Mr, Owen and Mr. Giles

the Editor of the Norra-Cama Dany News.

S1e,—Allow me to point out to the Rev. Mr. Owen that in one of the most beautiful chapters in the Gospels—the 16th of John—he will tind at the 24th verse, the phrase which he believes does not occur in the Bible—' Ask, and you shall receive."

Though I am not a clergyman, I venture to imitate his language when he beautifully says—''O Job, how Giles would translate thee!" and exclaim,—'O Christ, how oblivious is Owen of thy words!"

T was once a sinologue; Iam now only A Siver.
