Brandon, March IL, 1912
Brother Murray: Il am somewbo,
surprised 10 see, in paper styled The
vermont Baptist Journal issued from
Middlebury, circular purporting to Come
from committee appointed at PouItney
during the sitting of our State Conven,jon
in October last As it happens, was ?,
that meeting. heard nothing in regard
to this matter, in the meeting or oct Of
aud must say could hardly credit he
report when l first heard it-which bv,h-
way is not many months since have
not seen the record of any such comma.
tee in the minutes uf our Conventio,
But, Sir, when you come out and tell us
how and Where this committee vas an.
pointed-lhis, Sir, puts key in;o nv
hand, with which Can unlock the whole
of that cabinet.
| think this committee have assumed
10 themselves ground which does MOI be-.
long TO them at all. For, in their crcu.
lar they address 1.-The Baptists Of Yer.
mont" and assume 10 be their committee,
!, And now ask, are they the committee Of
the Bap,ists of Vermont, or are they their
own sef.consti:uted committee? would
o not say or do any thing that shoa!d hin.
= der my brethren from getting all the Light
i, and truth they can-or from publishing
y all the good papers they can suppo'l-yy4,
- | understand that there is right way 10
e come at any laudab!e object, without b.
l. ing hoodwinked Are these things done
q in a corner! The time is coming wien
that which. is done in secret will b" reveal,
/ ed on the house-top.
Il o, for this day, let US live and pray.
