That was a fine, brave word from a professor in a Baptist theological school when he said recently,—

"It is disloyal to our one Master to say that a view which is not in our opinion so disloyal as to forbid it to be secretly held among us is so disloyal that it must not be openly avowed among us. For myself, I have not, and never have had, any such secret opinions; but I stand for the absolute right of every Baptist to declare views which I do not believe in, but which I dare not propose to expel him for holding. There is no secure ground for liberty except loyalty to Christ alone, and there is no secure loyalty to Christ except in liberty for Christians.

"Truth is but correct statement of reality; and reality must come to light in order to be recognized and correctly stated. The fight is on. It is arduous and confusing. Let it go on. Christ is the truth, and this will appear."
