[TO THE EDITOR OP THE "SPECTATOR. ^ ]
Sis,—Every one who cares for this country ought to thank you for your leading article in the Spectator of October 18th on the above. It must have been hard to write, harder to publish; but you have good authority behind you. It has been observed that St. Paul was as notable for his cool dis- criminating judgment as for his warns charity and burning zeal. What, then, does he name as the true characteristic of ruling ? That it should be tempered with mercy P No; but "he that ruleth with diligence." (See also 1 Timothy iii. 4, 5,12.) For a man, though he ought not, may rule without mercy, but without diligence he cannot rule at all.—I am, Sir, &c.,
United University Club, S.W C. LLOYD ENGSTRoM.
[We have selected the above letters from a very large number which have been addressed to us in support of the view expressed by us last week.—En. Spectator.]
