CHRISTIANITY versus MORALITY

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] should judge from the gloomy tone of your corre- spondent's letter, if his assumptions are correct, that he has never seriously transgressed or received the fruits of the priiiiieal's return. It ma, be, as he says, that the repentant sinner spreads an atmosphere of cheerfulness about him, which is absent frOm the mere wralist, who never sins.or follows the .dictates of ditty ; nevertheless, I doubt if it, is desirable to stress the prodigal ideal in the ,home, apart from the expense (at the resent price of veal) of meeting the subsequent claims for ibtted calves.—I am, Sir, &e., J.
