PARISH MAGAZINES.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."] SIR,—Your contributor tarred all parish magazines with the same brush, with the exception of one issued at six times the usual price. Do you not consider that scant justice is done to at least one other, supplied to the clergy at about a half- penny per copy? This magazine, in its fiftieth year of publica- tion, numbers among its contributors names not unknown to the Spectator: Frank Bullen, Alfred 011ivant, Sydney Grier, Sir Martin Conway, J. J. Bell, Sir R. Baden-Powell, A. C. Benson, Lieut.-Colonel F. S. Jackson, William Riley, Dr. Grenfell, J. Havelock Wilson, and Lord Bryce, to name only laymen. I enclose a copy of the January number, which I think you will admit is a fair halfpennyworth compared with the sixpennyworth of excellent material provided by the ideal parish magazine of your contributor.—I am, Sir, &c.,
THE EDITOR OF "HOME WORDS."
