I recently made some reference to Dr. C. D. Boltwood.and

his College of Spiritual Science. Dr. C. D. Boltwood, on his side, has made some reference to me in his Intuitive Interpreter. I am glad to quote a passage. It might come in useful for students of English, if Dr. Boltwood should decide to enlarge his services to humanity by conferring diplomas for proficiency in that tongue: " Recently an article by ' Janus' appeared in The Spectator, to whom I wish only good, but not knowing this writer, who veils his name for some reason I do not know, would have acted more Christian-like, had he come to see me and discovered whom I was and what I was like, and thus had been able to judge me more truly, and that the whole leaflet had been pub- lished instead of taking excerpts from their context and thus creating a false picture of the status of the Colleges, for example, the Nazarene College was well known in Brixton when its Principal was the Rev. James Martin, D.D., LL.D., in 1890, and its teachings were then sound Theology."

As Dr. C. D. Boltwood puts it in the title of his article (or perhaps not quite as he put it), Palmam qui meriut ferat.
