New FRANKLIN, Sept. 9, 1919.
FRIEND OLIVER: | arrived here yesterday
afternoon 10 meet my appointments. No
place could be had TO hold a meeting in yes
,erday afternoon. Two mee,ing-houses, one
Methodist, the other Lutheran, are here
Both are dedicated 10 Sectarianism, and, Of
course, they are shut against the cries and
tears of 1900, 900 of slaves. They are dedi.
Gated to a Religion and God that have no
connection with mans redemption from war,
slavery, drunkenness and wretchedness in
rh,S life. So a man, Isaac Walton, owner of
a Steam Mill close by the village, cleaned
out his Mill, prepared it, and placed seats to
accommodate some 200. ] commenced this
morning at 81 o'clock. The Mill speedily
filled up. Many could not get seats. / Of
fered to the meeting the following Resolu-
tion
ReSolped, That Infdelity to a Religion that
ever did or ever can sanction War and Sla-
very, is a sacred duty.
This has been discussed and adopted in
many other meetings, and in substance been
published several times in the Bugle. Will
you publish il once more | wish it were a
standing motto for every paper in the land.
1t ought to be. 1t is peculiarly adapted 10
this place. As / was commenting on the
Religion and God Of Shareholders and War
riors, and contrasting them with the Religion
and God Of Justice, Love, Mercy and Truth,
Parker Pillsbury came in, just from Boston.
So while the Sectarians were grinding out a
grist of pro-war and pro-slavery Religion in
the Westinghouse, we were grinding out a
grist of Anti-War and Anti-Slavery Humani-
~ in William Walton's Steam Mill. We
got up the steam, and Parker is at this mo-
ment making a powerful appeal to the atten-
tive assembly for aid to rid this world of a
Religion that sanctions war or slavery.
Your organ Of mirhfulness would be great
ly excited to look in upon US at our appear
ance. We are in a Steam Mill for grinding
wheat and other grains. There are two Hop
pers. / sit close to one, and our books and
tracts are in and around it for sale. The floor,
the sides of the room, the beams and posts,
and all the 6xings are covered with hjur,
and of course all who have dark clothes have
assumed, more or less, the marks Of the mil.
ier's calling. They are well whitened with
-four. Parker's coat is well streaked. No
matter; his first welcome to the Anti. Slave
ry field in Ohio is in a grist Mill, and he says
he is thankful TO come in here to-day and
grind out food for the Soui, where the six past
days they have ground food for the JOdy.-
Meeiing-Ho use Divinity and Grist Mill Hu-
monify, to show the Inference between them,
and in which Mans salvation may be found.
The room is full of men, women and chill
dren, and our great object has been to excite
10 those present a deep and dchre adherence
of what Shareholders and Warriors and their
apologisis call God and Religion. Their
God shall not be a cover to their wickedness.
We have analysed his character and proved
him 10 be a fend as really SO as Ike being
WorshIpped as God by heathens and eanni-
balls. What they worship as God is but an
almighty convenience TO Shareholders and war
riors a bulwark of defence to their rapeS,
robberies and murders, which they habitual-
ly perpetrate upon their victims.
This has been a profitable meeting; far
more so, probably, than if we had been in The
Westinghouse. The fac, that we were obi.
ged 10 come here 10 advocate the cause of en-
shaved and murdered millions, will open ma
ny eyes to see the true nature of that God
and Religion that are represented by the
sects. TIE day is blight, and The people
look bright as if they judged it good to be
here. HENRY G.. WRIGHT.
