MANUFACTURED PUBLIC OPINION

At the time of the dedication of the recent
Mother Christian Science Church in Boston the
New York Times spoke its mind more boldly ad-
versely than any other journal in the country
which we happened to see. Our own experience
with Christian Science protagonists led us to ex-
pect that the Times editor had laid up for him
self much tribulation and by his own admission
he has not lacked communications numerous and
hot from indignant adherents of the new religion
The letters of protest so much alike in form
and intent that the editor began to suspect col
fusion, and fate has been kinder to him than it
ever has been to us. With one of the letters of
protest came carbon copy of typewriter let
ter OF instruction which read thus:
Write a letter marked personal on the envelope
to ---, editor New York Times
Say that you regret the attacks G. S. which
he allows to appear in the Times.
Say you have not similar attacks other
religious faiths, and that you do not feel that G.
S. deserves to be picked out for attack.
Say that you cannot put into the hands of your
children a newspaper which-desrable and pleas
ing in every other way-attacks the religion of
the family.
Tell him that investigation will prove Chris
tan Scientists to be respectable, law-abiding peo
pie worthy of courteous treatment.
Religion is a sacred belief, not to be attacked
without violating the rights of the believer.
Etc, etc
p S.-Add TO the letter that you have asked
friends of your and other C.. S. churches to
write to -Congregatonalist

DIR. VAUGHAN'S BOOK.

Central Presbyterian,-In Mr.. Magilrs report
to the General Assembly this spring he recon-
mcnds to the Assembly to give authority to the
committee to sell as "od paper" all the unbound
copies of unstable books now encumbering the
space IN the Publication Building Among this
reported mass of unstable material are some
two hundred and fifty or more copies of Gifts of
the Holy Spirit" and some nine hundred copies
of sermons also by DIR. c. r. Vaughan. To put
it mildly, this is grievous outrage. l doubt if
two such books have been written during the life
of the Southern Presbyterian Church. There is
more food in one chapter of the "Gifts of the
Holy Spirit than in whole libraries on the
same subject. If any reader fails to appreciate

have so conversed with this visitor as to give him
impressions so superficial and triling, so un
lust to the conservative and stable elements Of
our Church, and so utterly misleading. The
letter writer, like other travellers, saw what he
went to see, and found only those at Montreal
and Asheville who were ready, not for fedora
ton of any kind, but for "organic union" He
does not seem to have been introduced to sin
gle man who represented the integrity and char
acter of the Church, whose committees were
there on important business. Nothing was
said to the visitor of the Church's witness for
truth, Of the noble history of the Church, of its
steadfast defense of the great things of our
religion, of it's present unity of it's fine mis-
sonary spirit and of its great call of God to a
united and vigorous advance in our own terri
tory. He was left to gather impressions we
know not how, or to create them out of the
depths OF the one great desire in his own heart
The only reason he has to give for the course
of those who favor union is that it was the
natural pressure of the time SPIRIT whatever
that is; and the only impression he received as
to those conservative elements who honor and
defend their Church, was that they bore "'the
stubborn banner of isolation This is not
fattering to anyone.
The Interiors representative reaches the con-
cuslon that the question of union, not fedora
ton, els the one live, burning issue of the pres
ent hour in the Southern Church."
"On the whole a summary of observation in
both these gathering places of clans it be said
that practically the whole official working class of
the Southern UNCONVENTIONAL machinery is pronounc.
eddy in favor of organic coalescence with our church
nearly all the young pastors for it, and the laity
everywhere outside of South Carolina and Virginia
are overwhelmingly pre-disposed to anything what
that of union"
This is the description of the opposition to
union:
"To be sure there is certain opposition which 1,
not being diss pated; only death disspate some
of it, Its leadership centers in the theological
narles, saving Louisville and by including
the president of Union Theological Seminary at Rich
mond. Several of the old time pastors and a few
young men of very conservative environments also
bear up the stubborn banner of isolation
The concluding sentence is this:
Watch it and the proof of what this study
arrests-that the Southern Church is in the union
current and most happy for it."
One feels curious to know from which mem.
Der of ''the official working class of the South
ern UNCONVENTIONAL machinery" he received his
Impression OF one thing we feel confident,
of one thing we feel certain-that this Chicago
spy in the Southern country did not confer with
the president of Union Seminary at Richmond.
But there remains degree Of uncertainty as to
whether this visitor to Montreal really lives in
Chicago or not
