A CORRECTION.
A very curious error has juust come to
our notice. In the manuscript report of
the Evangelistic Conference at Montreat,
published in our issue of August 25, the
name of Rev. A. B. Curry, D.D., was footnoted
by the author as one of the speakers.
The article came without signature.
The foot-note was misunderstood, and

Dr. Curry. It is but fair to say that he
did not write it or have any knowledge of
it till he saw it in print.
