[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR] SIR,—May I trespass on

a few lines of your' space to reply to a remark of Mr. Garrett's ? The " utterly loose and mischievous statement " is not mine : it is our Lord's : " I thank thee, 0 Father, . . . that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding and didst reveal them unto babes " (Luke x. 2z).—Yours faithfully,

DAYRELL REED.
