Editor Of the ZelegvabA-C Courier.


DEAR SIR:-Please permit me to
direct the attention of your readers to
one of the editorials in your issue Of
the nth inst. The article in ques-
ton refers to the excitement prevail
ing in Boston in relation to text
books in the public schools of that
city and certain actions of the school
commissioners. The article is mis-
leading. 1t states that the present
controversy has arisen in conse-
quence of efforts being made that
were hostile to the Protestant relig-
ion or Professionalism. The contro-
versy that has now aroused deplora-
BILE religious animosities had nothing
whatever to do with Protestants,
with the teachings of Protestant
churches or the rights of Protestants.
/ happen to be conversant with the
case from personal information OBJ
tanned while In Boston last winter.
"Swinton's Outlines of Universal
History is a text book that had been
in use in the public schools of Bos-
ton. In a foot-note the author, re-
ferring to the Catholic doctrine on
Indulgences, asserts that Indulgences
came to be regarded as pardons for
sin that could be purchased for mon
ey. even by those who had no notion
of changing their lives or abandon
ing their sinful courses.
Some Catholic parents very justly
and properly objected to any such
outrageous calumny against their re-
ligion being presented in the public
schools. A certain teacher by the
name of Travis had rendered himself
specially odious to large number on
account of his frequent exhibitions
of religious bigotry and particularly
because he stoutly maintained in
spite of all protest to the contrary
that Swinton's foot-note was correct.
On complaint being made Travis
was summoned before the school
commissioners, reprimanded for his
intolerant bigotry and discharged
from the position of public trust that
he had abused, in offering insults to
his Catholic pupils. "Swinton's Out
lines" also were removed and anoth-
er text book substituted.
Recently the Evangelical Alliance
requested the Boston School Com
mittee to restore "SWinton's Out
lines and reconsider the former ac-
ton of the board. The week before
last the committee answered the pc
tition Of the Evangelical Alliance by
discarding the "Outlines" by an over
whelming vote Every man on the
board voted to sustain their former
action-the two lady members voted
in favor of a reconsideration. No
one stood more manfully in support
of the first decision against the "Out-
lines than the Protestant clergyman,
the Rev. DR.. Duryea, who averred
that che would rather die than re-
tract this first condemnation" The
publishers of the Objectionable "Out-
lines" perceiving their Improbable
error, have announced their purpose
of publishing a new edition, similar
to the one in use in Canada, Invested
of the lying foot-note. This is
plainly and briefly the history of this
unfortunate sensation. A few intol-
Grant bigots have stirred up sectarian
strife, and have sought to brighten
nervous women into believing that
the rights and liberties Of Protest

One OF the best signs of a truly
enlightened conscience isto be found
in our carefully guarding the reputa-
ton of others. Grown in grace is
shown by saying little of their sup
posed faults, and by mentioning, as
far as is consistent with truth, their
commendable qualities. The good to
he derived from a proper cultivation
of charity toward ali men is three
fold, it benefits the erring person,
giving him to see that there are those
who have his welfare in view; tits al
so benediction upon those who OBJ
serve our charitable spirit, prompt
ing them likewise to works of chart
ty; and it always blesses the individ-
ual himself, leading him to practice
self-control and self-renunciation in
behalf of others.
Christian forbearance is q wonder
ful educator The epistles are full OF
earnest teaching upon this subject.
There is 4 divine reaction upon the
soul that habltually cherishes this
spirit. The only wonder is that it is
not more generally practiced for its
own sake. The sacred writings, how
ever, do not urge this upon ms as a
mere sentiment. Rather, we are
taught that charity is the genuine
fruitofripened Christian experience,
and that it is always consistent with
Justice and truth.

THE BOOK TOMMY TUCKER
HID.
:. :. Times.


As went down TO the meadow
this morning, whom should see
but Tommy fucker half buried in
cosy heap Of Farmer Browns new
hay. He was reading out ola book
with yellow paper cover, but when
/ came near he gave little start,
closed the book, and slipped it out
of sight.-Tommy and | were quite
good friends, so | knew when he
put the book away so quickly that
it was something that he was a lit
tie ashamed Of
"A bright lay to you, Tommy
Tucker" l said. Don't let me
stop your reading. Indeed, if your
book is so interesting as it seemed
to be a minute ago, and you don't
object, l wish you would read
aloud"
IL don't think you would care
for the story, Mr. Earlston; and I'd
I'd rather talk"
Now this was so unlike the
straightforward Tommy Tucker,
who tells NE all his little secrets,
that l SAID right out.
surely, Tommy Tucker doesn't
read books that he is ashamed to
let his friends see.
The blush which had begun to
die out Of Tommy fuckers face
came back with a deep glow.
Il don't know that it's very
wrong" he said. its only a book
about boy who went of to kill In-
dians, and who fought six highway
men single handed and beat them
all, and rescued q lot OF soldiers who
had been captured, and had a great
many other wonderful adventures.
I'll show you the book continued
Tommy.
'SNo, don't" Il don't want to read
any book that you think bad enough
TO hide from me-"
Tommy looked hurt, but did not
say anything, so l went on
"You see, Tommy, l am just tax
ing your own judgement on the
book. Itisn't so very wrong, you say;
and yet it is so wrong that you
would rather 1 hadn't seen it, Meth
er would you like to go home and
read it to your little brothers. fit

A Religious Paper,

good story is related of an elderly
gentleman in one Of our Somerset towns.
who, very properly, is deeply Interested
in religious matters, and whom a clergy
man advised to subscribe for a religious
paper. This gentleman is reported to
have said that he already took one re-
ligious paper. The clergyman asked him
what paper it was. The gentlemen said
he could not recall the name, but it was
printed at Skowhegan. lis it the RE.
roRTER? That was not the name. Then
1t must be the Review, said the gentleman
of the cloth. That's 1t That's the one :"
said our elderly friend, and he was greatly
astonished when told that the Review was
not religious journal but q political one.
This certainly reflects credit upon the
political papers Of somerset County.
