Scope and Contents

Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Robert J. Tilson in London, England. Pendleton received Tilson’s letter of Jan. 13th with accompanying report in time for the mid-year meetings. The Hague doctrine was discussed on several occasions during these meetings, and Dr. Acton presented a “very able” paper on the topic. Pendleton comments on this paper, “My only criticism was that in spots his expressions of personal charity to his opponent were hardly called for in an article of such dignity.” The meetings have now concluded, and Pendleton wishes it were possible to rest after the strain. He looks forward to reading Tilson’s thoughts on Hugo (Odhner)’s paper regarding the Hague doctrine. Pendleton writes that this paper “is designed as the first presentation of our position.” He continues, “Doubtless other articles will follow. The end is not yet. I anticipate that the controversy will have a long run.” Names mentioned: Dr. Acton, Hugo (Odhner)
