early afternoon. Comfortable quarters
will be furnished those who make early
engagements. Splendid camping grounds
for those who bring tents. For information

PEACE INSTITUTE.
One of the most successful sessions in
the long career of this institution drew
to a close on May 26. Dr. Neal
Anderson, of Winston, N. C., preached
the baccalaureate sermon on May 23, and
Dr. W. S. Currell, of Washington and
uee university, Lexington, Va., delivered
the principal address on the 26. There,
were six graduates.
The managing committee announced
many improvements for the summer, and
tbe president writes that several remarkably
strong additions have been
made to the teaching force. The outlook
for the next session is exceedingly encouraging.
THE HASTINGS' DICTIONARY.
And Our Publication CommitteeOne
of the correspondents of the "Presbyterian
of the South," lately called attention
to the fact that Hastings' Bible Dictionary
is recommended by our Publication
Committee in their advertisement,
and that it contains much unsound lit
eramre. He says our Secretary of Publication
defends their sale of this book on
the ground that the Committee is not
resi>onsible for any of the' literature they
sell, except such as is authorized by.our
committee.
Such a rule as that on the part of our
committee is a very cohvenient one. being
elastic enough to adniU of a coach and
four driving through' it at any time.
Seriously, is it right for the Church to
be doing business in any such loose way?
The committee sells novels and various
kinds of literature that is known to be
unsound, and full of moral poison.
The only defense Is that "business is
Business"; they must be accommodating
to their customers, and furnish anything
they want, and moreover make a business
profit thereby, which puts money into the
church treasury to do good with.
If they handle such books they must
advertise them, and in their adve'rtising
and handling them, the committee
give a quasi endorsement to them, and
they aid and encourage the circulation
snd reading of this moral poison, and

they are doing this on a large scale. The
Committee of Publication being the servant
of the Church, it is the Church
through its agents that is doing this
work?circulating moral poison to counterbalance
the good that is being done
by circulating the good sound - literature
of our Church?and all this the Church is
doing in the name of the Lord, when her
Lord told her to preach the Gospel, anil
pronounced a solemn curse acrainst
preaching any other gospel. We condemn
the Roman Catholics Tor claiming
that the end justifies the means?doing
a bad thing in order to accomplish good.
Are we not doing the same thing in
this publication business? "Neither be
partaker of other men's sins." 1 Tim. 5.

partaker of his evil ueeds," 2 Jno. 11 vs.
