littise ScriptOro Iteadhip:\
The oppouents of the ItIowat Govern
ment , having alleged that the Scripture
Readings now in use by the Public Schools,
were prepared ender direetion of Arch.
biehop Lynch, a flat and unequivocal de-
nial was given to the, aesertion, bot this
not being ;sufficient to put a Mop to the,
malicious falsehood; Principal Cavan, of
Knox„Oollege, and IVIr. Dewart, editor of
the Christian Guardian, come out in let-
ters over their own aignature, refoting the
statements that have been made. The
following extracts from Mr, CavatOs letter
are worthy of careful peruaal "It is acarcely noceseary to say that the
Scripture Readings were not selected by
Archbishop Lynch, nor under his direction.
The draft eeerne to have been sent to him
in. common with all the gentlernen compos-
ing a large committee, and the Arehbislsop
suggested the ' harmless, if unnecessary,
change of which' into 4 who' i the Lord's
Prayer; babes, than this the hand of the
Archbishop wasnot applied... My object
in writing this lettee is not to defend se-
lections ot Soripturatfor use in schools,
nor to, endorse in every particular the
compilation in question but to.express my
sincere condemnation of all attempts to
diecredit Mr. Ross ' by misrepresenting
facts which are well known to many min-
isters and laymen in all the churchea. '1

No gleernment can cemplain of fair and
honest criticism, however ;searching ; but

ity in its most authentic expression (as Kr.
