FROM EDITOR BRYAN.

-
our esteemed contemporaries and by a
correspondent as to the propriety OF
printing in the editorial columns OF The
Times a private letter from Mr.. William
J. Bryan, editor of the Commoner, we
think it but just to The Times to say
that st has since received another letter
from Mr.. Bryan in which he says no
harm was done, in the publication Of
his former letter. and that we need give
ourselves no concern about 1t.
In his letter Mr.. Bryan also took occa-
sion to say that while he did not agree
with the editorial policy of The Times,
he read it because he is always glad to
know what is being said by the best eX-
ponents Of the other side of every ques-
ton That simple remark does MI
BRYAN credit both as a politician and an
editor The man who is DESTROYS of get
ting at the truth does not contine his
reading and investigation to one side OF
the dispute Every man of experience
knows that there are two sides to every
question, and the man who confines his
reading and researches to one side will
get only half the truth. The whole truth
is to be obtained only by searching both
sides. by investigating the entire ques-
ton.
The charge hes heen made by skeptics
that the Bible will not stand investiga-
ton. and that in order to believe the
gospel, preachers must take partisan
and one-sided view. We deny any such
absurd charge. The Bible is itself a
book Of investigation, and it challenges
the investigation of the critics of the
world, as it has done from the begin
ming. The proof Of its truthfulness is
sufficiently established by the fact that
it has stood all tests. 1t stands to-day
unshaken in spite of the fact that shrewd
men have investigated it and criticised
it in all ages. The Bible is the fairest
hook ever written The cold, cruel truth
is told even about the Lords elect There
is no attempt at conccalment. Both
sides of the story are told. nothing con-
ceale, nothing extenuated. If there is
one great, important lesson that TINS
Book Of God teaches it is the lesson OF
fairness. 1t enjoins and encoura ges every
man to get all tho facts to be obtained,
to give them intelligent consideration,
weigh them in the scales of his juds-
nlent, and then draw his conclusions.
Editor Bryan is a close student OF the
bible and has been for years, and we
doubt not that this rule which he has
established for himself Of studying both
sides Of the question is largely the result
of his Bible training.
