'WITHOUT A HEARER ?'
SIR,—The letter of Mr. Topliss in your last issue shows that Catholics—to their credit— are not the people who allow aspersions on their history or their creed to pass un- challenged.
May 1, as an evangelical Nonconformist, be permitted to deal with the letter of Mr. Deans.
First, his use of the word 'proselytism' in regard to Dr. Graham's mission services. The fact is that the name of every convert is sent to the minister of the church he attends, or, supposing he has no denominational tics, he is counselled to go wherever he may best find a spiritual home.
Further, as to speaking of 'Mr.' Billy Graham, Mr. Deans should know that Billy Graham holds the doctorate of a reputable American university : and, since there is not an informed paper in the country which does not know this and uses it whenever it puts a prefix before his Christian name, it is too much to accuse Mr. Dean of ignorance of this fact; the alternative is to describe his letter as being insolent.—Yours faithfully,
A. L MARCHANT Whiteness, Carter Road, Grange-over-Sands, Lancs
