for the meeting. Rev. Anna Howard

gates representing all of the states.
These reports will embody a nara

of ideas through debate.
the night sessions will include many
persons of national or international
prominence. In addition to those al
ready named they will include Mrs.

the coroner's jury all certify that Mr..
Perkins was carried into this house,
and, of course, was not there of his
own volition. Yet the secular press
of "The City of Brotherly Love"
either without inquiry into the facts,
or with malice prepense, reported that
the minister-what a sweet morsel to
roll under the tongue!-had died in
house of ill-fame, leaving the infer
ence to be drawn that he was there
for an immoral purpose. There are re-
porters for the daily press-we know
some of them-why try to be exact
in their statements concerning daily
occurrences; but there are others who
would rather tell good story" than
tell the truth. If any of our readers
have been misled into believing evil
of this Christian minister, we trust
that they will promptly revise their
judgment in the light of the Watch
mans careful investigation. He was
a good man and to besmirch his rcp-
utation in this cruel way, when the
facts might easily have been ascer-
tanned, was a shameful deed.-Watch-
man.
