THE WORD ~HUMANTTARIAN.'

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: am a subscriber and admlrer OF The Semi
Weekly Tribune admire the terse and fcrcible Eng
lsh not less than the sterling Repubcanism OF It's
articles. wish to protest however, against The rro
une lending Its influence TO the misuse Of the word
humanitarian. The word does not mean philsn.
thropist but Is theological term and means one who
believes Christ TO be nero man. You have misusd
it several times The last time in the last column 90
j. W. REDMOND.
North Troy, VT, July Co. 1901.
This criticism is not well-founded. The best
writer's and the leading dictionaries now regard
humanitarian as synonymous with "philanthro-
pist. Webster marks this definition Of il
recent" but the Imperial (English) Dictionary
gives it as the primary meaning of the word; the
second referring to the doctrine Of Christs purely
human nature, and the third TO the doctrines Of
ST. Simon and his foliOwers.-Ed)
