was mistake his ever being allowed to go
to that church. He isn't really a Presby-
terrain, but came to us from the Free Will
Baptists, and was admitted without suffi-
cient considerations He is good
talker, however, and plausible
fellow, and took well with the
people up there at first He's evidently
been indiscreet in this matter. A clergy
man has no business to practice medicine,
and his recent actions in relation to the
woman are not altogether void of suspicion.
However, it will not have much effect upon
the church itself. It's getting to be good
strong church, and services will probably be
resumed there Sunday after next"
He further stated that the Ninth church
was properly Presbyterian mission and
was put in charge of the Dayton Avenue
church and its session.
A CORRESPONDENTS IDEAS.
To the Editor of the Globe:
The advanced and appropriate position
taken by DIR. Mclean, in advertising pub
lie meeting at Market hall next Sunday
evening, at which he will present upon the
platform the young person who is the CO.
subject of the scandal in which he is in
vOlved. and in whose presence he proposes
to discuss and refute the injurious state
ments made concerning HIM by some OF our
city papers, certainly deserves applause, in
advance of that which will undoubtedly be
awarded to him by the immense audience
that will certainly assemble at the time in
dicated, and l gladly take this occasion to
tender mine, humble though it be. 1t has
been too long the custom for injured innO-
cence to hide itself in shame and indigna-
ton from accusations, whose greatest sting
was their falSity. and for men, when so ac-
cused to refuse to make a public defense, on
the absurd ground that wOman'S name
should never be made public property; but
the doctor is no such craven, having solved
the ancient problem of serving two masters
by becoming minister of God and also of
men-the one under the rescript of the0-
logical institute, the other under a license
of the state board of medical examiners.
He further endears himself to humanity by
this progressive step in social ethics. He
will appeal to the great heart and conscience
of our community, as eXemplited in Sum
day night audience in Market hall, called to
discuss a shameful social SANDER and to in
spect the female participant in it, whom
the doctor proposes to produce upon the
platform as evidence of his innocence.
When John Phoenix gave to his admiring
readers an account of his combat with his
irate chief, he said: I'VE held him
down with our nose. which we had
inserted between his teeth. for that
purpose" and some critics were inclined to
doubt the statement asto the purpose for
which the nose was inserted. but none can
for moment doubt, but that in his case,
the production of the young person re-
ferred to will triumphantly establish the in
nocence of both herself and the doctor. No
man or woman has ever before hit upon so
complete method of illustrating male or
female modesty. AS this admirable step of
the doctors marks new and important era
in social progress, I am exceedingly solicit
Gus that it should have all the success its
merit deserves. l feel confident there will
be no trouble about the audience, and that
Market hall will be filled by an appropriate
and representative one. PROGRESS.
