In the May I.uue of tho Gospel Fo ur brother editor, UoV. C. Lewis Fowler, replies brifeity :?? cur criticism aomo t ine an i on IT; sermon dealing with Christian ted -ration. With no In tention of we-.lying our readers with a. prolonged controversy on "church matt..;*', wo beg their indulgence for jllsl a word more on this matt? r of federation. Indeed tin- question of federation is comparatively new; it is exc iting interest throughout the world; it was thoroughly discussed at the re < cut Lambeth conference of bishops; ami in fad, a church federation has already been brought about in Austra lia. Hence, this phase of "church matters", when separated from the old ami threadbare disputes over church doctrines, hoi.Is Intense interest. Ilrlelly slated, the controversy be tween Tito \d\ trtl er and The Forum Is this: Mr. Fowler believes In and Wants "? federation Of Christians, so M? the editor of The Advertiser; but, in substance If me in exact terms. .Mr. Fowler stipulates that the pro posed unified church shall \?- IhipMsl in evry detail of govoruti: int., ministry nnd doctrine, while we say thai such f.n attttu le will retard ratio r than aid I he effort for a federation. Our a I' ll; it 111 lit was i--phono .? 1 Iii this: "Mr. Fowler need not cxpeit to make this a I "apt 1st world". L.-t our readers k>- ji in mind the issUbJ it is ma on the question of whether of not the Itnptist church Is the ouo und onl> Organization founded on the llible plan: it Is not of the truth of the "historic episcopate", nor the origin of the churches. All these are interesting and furnish ample ground for dehnte, but here ami in our first Utterances they were dealt with secondarily. The upshot of our contention Is that If Mr. Fowler hopes to bring about "this far off divine event" lie must be prepai'i l to relinquish some of his pet theories. .\o compromise, ho treaty, no union, no organization of any kind over was. or ever will be. perfected Without -once.--, ion on the part Of ev ery individual or party constituting that union or seeking for that coiupro proiuise. To c.?inen l otherwise is to Haunt one's opinion in the face o; the world H history -political, social ami religious. \nd yet Mr. Fowler would so hl'gll ?; but" criticism was on that point. ?vwilWi in replying to our criticism, Mr. Fow'ter says in the first place that we criticised his sermon before we had carefuily fetid it to get the viewpoint. Now what puzzles us is to know how Mr. Fowler is to say whether or not we read tho sermon carefully: the statement is unwarrantable. As a matter of fact, after the first reading of it. we carefully went through it again in an honest effort t;> get the viewpoint and the point: hut the sec ond reading only made the inherent weakness all tho more patent. "He jumped at conclusions", says Mr. Fowler of the editor. Yes. hut (here was only om- conclusion and that was drawn hy Mr. Fowler himself. We lumped at hi- conclusion, which we considered erroneous and made it the subject of our editorial criticism, "Second, the critic, while a bright man ami a graduate of 'lie best college in the state, ?lipped into thing.. Which bo did not know" hi the tbe next statement hy th ? editor of The Forum. The patronizing air of this, of course, does not add strength to the argument; indeed, it has no hearing upon it. Whether or not tho editor of The Ad vertiser knows anything about the Subject i-; a matter for his readers to decide, in fact, the effort to ridicule our opinion only weakens our oppo nent's argument. And right h?re we call attention to Mr. Fowlor's extravagant .ami ques tionable statements. In the ahove quotation from him. Furman is de clared "tile best college in tbe state". No doubt the graduates of Wofford, Hrskine, the (niverslt ami Ne.vherry, would dispute Mr. Fowler's claim. WHilQ the editor of The Advertiser Is n graduate of Furman, ami is proud of bis alma mater, he could not with as surance assert that Furman Is ' the HERE IS RELIEF FOR WOMEN.

On the sann? prliiclplo wo, while u member <>i the Bnptlsl church, would not dare say "that if JesilH were here loilay li<' would not change one thing in the lluptist church". The third point of our contempora ry's reply Is: "he spoke of us as hick* tug liberality of view and at the same ii:ne expressed nn opinion without any credit to others. I contend that my view point end contention are as lib eral as God's word". The fallacy of this is apparent when the "conten tion" or issue is clearly understood. Mr. Kowier says that tho Uaptlsts only aii- right ami all others Wrong, and thai ii' a federntIon is desired tho whole of mankind musi accept the p.aptist faith and dcolrliies in toto; while our opinion, as expressed, was that all denominations would have to make concessions In order to render the federation feasible. We were sim ply the spokesman of nil the other sects whom Mr. Fowler condomncd; we believe thai some of their tenets arc as good, and some even better than the Baptists'. Mr. Fowler con demns them, ami yet declares bis view point In iui liberal as God's word. We must admit that we have not reached thai stage of perfection where our view erptals the view of Godi we lire still human and are so dealing with the subject; we have no! yet com prehended God. OS revealed In the holy book. Possibly :'.;:t Is the basis of our errors.
