[[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]] writes stating that in the report published in ''[[The Times]]'' last Friday of his speech at the Spiritualists luncheon at the Holborn Restaurant, he is represented as saying:— <q>"There were always the materialist, the Bible-quoters, and other critics, with their 'eternal putridity,' to be encountered."</q> The correct version of his remarks is:— <q>"There are two types of critics. One is the materialist who insists upon his right to eternal putridity ; the other is the gentleman with so deep a respect for the Bible that he has never really examined it."</q>
