 against the Revision of the Bible in
 1880.
 A recapitulation of the FACTS in this case.
 1. for November. 1859, (1S5s was an erratum --an error in my note of February 20,) Ice
 tqrsd in Fort Smith, Ark. on the revision of the Bible. o. After left the State, J. w.
 Moore, esq.,, began a series of tirades against me and the revision of the Bible, and con- tinued them in the public press in 1858 and '5g, unnoticed by me, though repeatedly re- quested to notice him. 5. FAcT, he obtained several certificates against me, and published them, in which he cARIcATuRED and MIsRE- PRESENTED my lectures. Since l came to this place and section have been informed by two gentlemen that two of the certificates were from one-sided sectarians, and the third one was double sectarian and CONFIRMED sot. Ihls was the course you pursued towards me Tn my absence for two years, without any notice from me whatever. 4. Fact. In Janu- ary, 1860, returned to Arkansas and lectured on the revision of the Bible, and you began second series of TRADES against the revision | of the Bible and delivered two before l noti- ced your one of February 8, and the other of February 10th. Fact g. When 1 noticed you for the first time on February 20, and accept ed your challenge that our common version is ALL WE need desire, you began at once to ChA"FIsH-Co Ddck UOWu, anu Cdiieu alt tue above FACTS as some remarks about revision, ending in challenge to you by me for dis cussion. l stated to you distinctly in my notice of your tirades in February 20, that 1 hoped there would be no BACKING down from an &C., ceptance Of your plain challenge. You con verted all these facts in your note of Februa- " 29, into a cha ailenge by me to you for dis cussion. want you to show how you did this. You expect to evade proving your afr ti0t,h htrr T. ae ahraxx and Greek. The less 1 know of anything the better for you; the less you have to do, the easier will be your triumph over me, and the greater will be your victory over me. Let not my ignorance therefore, sir, afford you any longer an excuse for trying to cRAwFIsH from your affirmation and challenge that ''our com mon version is ALL WE need desire"
 In all your three tirades against the revision, have not seen the semblance of a reason in support of your affirmation, except, perhaps the ''French revolution-Dr. Kane's mother reading to him out of the common version, Chliarch--my views it cites" These. l con- fess are unsound arguments against the re- vision of the BIBLE. You have two powerful motives to make good your challenge. First, if you prove it you will immortalize yourself you will be canonzed by the enemies of revison as great saint, you will stand on the list of canonization next to ST. JUDAS him. self Secondly, you will have the credit of stopping the making of sectarian Bible, which you aledge to be the most WICKED pro- ect of the age-the consummation of secta- rianism. pledge myself to the community that if you prove satisfactorily that our com- mon version is ALL we need desire, that will stop featuring on the subject of the revision, and will use all my influence to stop the Bible Revision Association from proceeding any further with their sectarian version"
 But on the other hand, if you fail to sus- tain your AFFIRMATION before the public in discussion, you will be regarded as unworthy of the notice of HONEST and TRUTHFUL men for having made an AFFIRMATION which you are both UNABLE and UNWILLING to prove, and which disqualifes yon for having the su- pervision of public morals, for making an AFFIRMATION which you knew to be UNTRUE at the time you PENNED IT. A gentleman re- marked to me that the certificates you publised against me in 1858, were FALSE, and only FALSE and nothing but FALSE. He heard my lectures in Fort Smith, Arkansas, in Novem- Der, 1859 Hoping that you will choose the former alternative and not the latter, and that you vii inform me at your earliest convent ence of such choice,
 remain yours truly,
 JACOB CREATE. J. ". MOORE, esq.
 Fort Smith, Ark. March 12, 1S60
