A Correction and Educational Report

By Editor

WE desire always to be absolutely fair in our representation of others, whether they are those in accord with our principles, or those who stand in opposition. The spirit of Christ and of truth is the spirit of honesty and fair dealing. We differ widely and radically with our brethren of the Catholic Church. Sometimes we have felt called upon to utter plain and pointed truths regarding their principles of belief. We would not, however, knowingly place them in a wrong light, nor credit them with uttering sentiments that they have not expressed. In our issue of July 18, page 9, under the heading "The Spirit of Rome," we copied from an exchange an extract purported to have been taken from the Catholic World of New York. We learned later, from what seems to be creditable sources, that this extract never appeared in the columns of the Catholic World, nor so far as we know in any Catholic journal. In justice to the World we are glad to make this correction. We might add, however, in all candor as well as charity, that statements voicing the sentiments of the extract in question are not strangers to the columns of Catholic literature.

PROF. H. R. SALISBURY, secretary of the General Conference Educational Department, writes of the excellent meetings that he is having on the Pacific Coast, particularly at Loma Linda, and at Portland with the teachers of the two Pacific unions. A report of the meeting of the members of the Educational Department at Loma Linda will appear next week.
