OCCASIONALLY we read IN the
newspapers about a minister 60
ing wrong, or as in the Neills.
Vile case of the conviction of a
Priest on very bad charge, and
there are those who are unchair-
liable enough to point to these
circums stances as reflections
upon the good name of the
Church. Not SO! Simply
because in an isolated case one
who should know and do better
errs is nothing to the discredit
Of the great Church work. 1t
simply shows that all men are
human and that they are liable
to err no matter in what station
we find them in life. The
Churches themselves are always
to be found among the first to
weed out evil doors and there
work is none the less commend
