Moro Southern Correspondence.
'The celebrated "Elmore Correspondence" is
EiDging forth fruit. We find the following in |
Ne Baptist edited by Mark Bennett, and publish
&by George Howard, Tarboroush North CARROLL !
~ The paper before us is VOL. 3, No. e. and !
eHrs date November 10, 1888. 1t is also headed |
~ the solemn and expressive motto, "CoME OUT
fEER, by PEOPLE" which, one would think,
Askht make every slaveholding church member
.N0be. The paper seems to be the oil gan of the
I'd School Baptsts,' as they call themselves,
~ oppose all missionary, Bible, Temperance and
fper societies. We hope the moderator OF the
ew Haven Baptist Association will read this.
