Dr. Stiggins

Excerpt from Dr. Stiggins: His Views and Principles I have been watching for some time past, and with considerable anxiety, the discussion of the so-called "Meat Packing Scandals" in America. You, as an earnest Liberal and as a Free Churchman, must have seen the reports to which I allude, for I am sure you agree with me that the rivers of printer's ink are not the least amongst those which, the Inspired Writer tells us, make glad the City of God. No; you are right; I am far from using the phrase in any of the superstitious senses dear to the medievalists or pseudo-primitive writers. Holy Writ, as has been well observed, is not only a kernel but a shell, not only an eternal message, but a local and (shall we say?) a temporary pronouncement.
