A LIE NAILED.-The n Y. Independ-
ent, in its reckless way, inserted the fol-
lowing paragraph. A correspondeat.of |
the Madison Erening Courier adds the
answer following. The Independent is
wholly given to lying, as far as the
Church is concerned, and "a Church

"BlsHoP TALBoT-BBLE AND PRAYER
BooK.-At the late Episcopal Conven-
ton. in Philadelphia, Bishop Talbot, Of |
Indiana, said that if he was forced to |
choose between sending the Bible or |
Prayer Book 10 the ignorant and perish |
ling, he would choose the latter Won |

/ The above is most reckless and nm |
truthful statement, and such a senti- |
ment could not be more abhorrent to |
any one than to Bishop TALBOT. 1t is
| inexcusable IN any paper, especially in |
q paper professedly religious as the |
New York Independent, to make such |
an unjust and derogatory statement |
about any one, particulariyla high off |
Ger of the Church. The article does |
Bishop Talbot great injustice, and it is |
also wonndiug to- tbeE Church, Eiih |
(which he is connected. Bishop Tai |
bot has just been elected Assistant
Bishop of the Protestant' Episcopal
Church for the Diocese Of Indiana, and |
his Church people expect much good to
result from his labors in this State, upon
which he is about to enter, and it is ex-
Eceedingly unkinda that his labors here
Eshonld be sought to be rendered void by
imputing to rim an obnoxious and un-
christian sentimsnty The Rector of
Christ Church made allusion to the above
article yesterday morning, and mildly
remarked that twas srecklesss and I'M
founded statement. He was present
when Bishop Talbot made the remarks
Ito which reference is,supposed to be
made, and Bishop Talbot then said that
in his work the Bible shou be sent first
fand the Prayer Book next-that in the
Church work it was his Judgment THAT
the Prayer Book should always fol-
How the Bible, or GO hand in hand

-tbyter Of the Church dare fdisparage the
Holy .Scriptures5 if be did, the Church
would at once reject him. Bishop Tai
bot, in the speech alluded to, said he
would say, with the great Commontater,
l1Adam Clark, that neat to the Bible the

by twenty years, and know him, to. be

T. Mr. Editor as the article from the
Independent found its way into your
