is its obituary:

DeIeve that this paper has stood for q

endeavored TO support his Fundamental
convictions. although at what interval OF
eHclency none can be more conscious
tnan ourselves. We have been grateful
for many cordial words OF recognition In
tnis difficult task. and for the confidence
OF the friends OF the paper as manifested
IN steady increase OF business. CThe
Churchman may now be regarded as hay

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 volcing 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 discontlnuance. q"
