The Washington herald., 1908-06-27

To-day another church paper goes out
OF existence. a paper that for over sew
enty years, under different names. has
been issued-the Church Standard. OF
Philadelphia. The Church Standards un-
timely end Will be greatly regretted. Here
is its obituary:
with this number OF the Church
Standard its issue will be discontinued
Ats SUBSCRIPTION list has been merged
with that of the Churchman, which will
hereafter be supplied in its place. We
believe that this paper has stood for
certain definite position which has not
been quite represented by any other In
the church. and there is no need to say
win what signal courage and vast ability
this position was sustained during the
management OF its great editor, John Full
ton. Since his lamented death we have
endeavored 10 support his fundamental
convictions. although at what interval OF
emclency none can be more conscious
than ourselves. We have been grateful
Tor many cordial words OF recognition in
this difficult task, and for the confidence
OF the friends Of the paper as manifested
IN steady increase Of business. (The
Churchman may now be regarded as hav-
Ing the best opportunity OF representing
the whole church, not only by its ad-
herence to the essentials OF catholicity.
but by its outspoken defense OF contend
ing extremes, and By voicing both the
most truly conservative and the most
widely progressive sentiments within our
communiOn)
Under several names the Church
Standard has been issued for more than
seventy years. and we venture the hope
That many viii regret its discontinuance

church. This camp has grown in the
last three years from camp OF ten or a

boys for half Of the camp fee. The OBJ
