CINCINNATI, o., April 1.-THE fol-

I'm view OF the unrest caused to many
Methodists OF the present generation py
the statements given to the public with
reference to the import and purpose OF
DIR. John Lanahans recent utterances
before the Baltimore preachers meeting
impeaching the good name OF the Metno-
dist book concerns, Il becomes neces-
sary for the undersigned to officially ex-
plain that the matters treated OF by DR..
Lanahan occurred twenty-four years ago;
that the Doctors charges were mo
roughly exploited at that time before
the tribunals of the Church, and tnat
the men whose regulations were involved
land who were exonerated from any
criminal completely In the irregularities
discoyered) have been dead for many years.
'Dr. Lanahan's sole object in going
over the subject again after so long a
time appears to be his own vindication'
as against what he deems the unsatis-
factory finding of the financial experts
who passed upon the matter. and the
verdict of the ecclesiastical court rem
dered at that time. Certain occasional
illusions TO the subject by prominent
churchmen have also had their innu-
ence in determining DIR. Lanahan's course.
II should be understood. however
that from that period. twenty-four years
ago 10 this day. no breath OF suspicion
has clouded the reputation of any man
connected with the publishing affairs OF
our Church. Our book concerns have
paid towards the support Of our INDECENT
preachers and for other Church purposes
during the last eight years more than
million dollars. and they deserve the
unaualified confidence and commentator
OF the Church.
