A Note of Correction.

ACCIDENT, Md. Aug. 8, 1888,
ED. REPUBLICAN In the RE-
PUBLICAN of August 4th, appeared
an article from the Lutheran Observer,
under the heading, "Among the
Mountains" and signed "B," WASH
ington, d. c., July 21st, 1883. Said
article contains several correct and
interesting accounts Of the minister's
trip "among the mountains" up here.
There is, however, one paragraph in
said article, narrating some of the
minister's impressions concerning
church affairs of Accident, which
compels me to ask you. Mr.. Editor,
for permission to let this note of cor
rection find space in your paper.
In the first place, "B" writes: "Our
Missouri brethren are here" (viz. in
Academy with the pure doctrine,
represented by brother educated by
the Maryland Synod at Gettysburg"
This sentence of "B" is partly mis-
statement and therefore needs correc-
ton. That Missouri brother was not
entirely educated at Gettysburg, las
any reader might infer from the
above sentence butlonly pdrtIy:i. e..
during four years and six months out
of the ten years. he having studied
theology elsewhere, and sojourned in
Europe for the restoration of his
health about two years.
In the second place. "B" writes |:
81 regret that pure doctrine prevents
the ordinary courtesies of life, and
will have no dealings with us Samar-
itans." Now this sentence not only
contains very strange conception of
courtesy. but also leaves the reader
under the impression that "pure doc
trine" (by which term "B" undoubt-
eddy refers TO the Missouri pastor up
here) called "B" and company "Sa-
maritans," and would therefore have
no dealings with them. "B" has, &C
cording to this sentence, either great.
ly misunderstood or grossly misrep-
resented certain words of the Missouri
pastor here. God grant, and 1 sim
cerely hope it is the former. AT all
events the sentence requires correc-
rection, and here it is: It never did
enter the mind of said Missouri pastor
to call 3d." and those associated with
him synodically, "Samaritans !" that
word was used to captain something,
but not to stygmdtize "B" and COM
pany with it. 1t is very strange in
deed, that "B" so readily applied the
term to himself; but still more
strange it is that "B" designates that
as an absence or want "of the ordi-
nary courtesies of life, bigotry and
uncllarity Of Sect" if a clergyman
does not visit persons outside Of his
charge, simply because he, as the
Missouri pastor up here, cannot visit
his own people as much,as he ought,
and would like to, from want of time.
1t seems to me that "B," by his def
milton of courtesy, does not "breathe
an atmosphere that is sure antidote
to uncharity of sect" Missourians
do not deem it lack of courtesy and
charity if persons not belonging to
their synodical organization do not
find time to visit them. On the con-
trary, they deem it uncharitable to
expect every clergyman or layman of
other synods or denominations, who
may live in the neighborhood of Mis-
sourians, to visit them.
