In regard 20 Jour preamble 70 yoaf
proposition re wish 70 Correct some
mistakes.
Isl Neither Mr.. Doddes or ourselves
ever expre.sd. desired, o. intended
10 close the house against any one, but
being confident the house belonged TO
Gs we desired the control Of il. Your
efforts With Nr. Doddef "for the sake
Of peace" We know nothing Of, save
what Mr.. Doddeg told ~. Your state
me0t Of Is We received - We do many
Of your statements, and - the court
and others did your testimony in Now
ember, 1872, and which We shall most
certainly produce from the 6Ies, IL We
are called into print again.
ID. Your statement that you waited
over seven years for your money and
Was compelled 70 sell ths church To get
it, - incorrect; for you know that last
summer Mr.. James Haggsrty assum.
ed and paid OF every cent that vas
against the church. not knowing when,
II ever. be would call for Il. But yoa,
''for the sAke Of psacs." borrowed
the money; paid him on the 18th Of |
February IA; and obtained mortgage
on the 18th Of February, 1874. All
this IL ;SEss 3sTs;:ns, sSd :S twenty
one days you pushed il through and
sold the church; and you. being "best |
and only bidder"now own the chu rch,
which We state over again for fear |
there might be some one Who does not
know 1t yet.
3D.. Your statement that Mr.. STAN
ton paid three times - much ~ any
Presbyterian. 10 incorrect. But for
fear there may be some corner where
they have not yet heard what Mr..
and you did do, We will state
il over again for the one hnndredth
time. You subscribed three hundred
dollars and Mr.Stanton three hundred
and fifty dollars, and threw In your
sSoT. One other statement makes us
smile; that your meek ness and gentle
nsss would not permit you to accept
u Mr.. Dodder's views. Why. we really
thought ali<York Prairie knew that
your meekness was such that you
would die before you would create any /
in the church, school, or
where you live.
We wish to call your attention to Z
statement you have made In
the community. and to your testimony
before the June term OF court, 1871, |
when You testified that yoa and your |
friends had contributed one thousand |
eight hundred dollars, or one.h Of
the cost Of the house for its building.
We wish simply to append the certi-
fled answers to certain questions, that
you, ~ one OF the trustees, returned to
the Board Of Church Erection:
lst, How much IL subscribed by the
members Of the church? Ans, 81, 490.
I'd, How much by members OF the con-
grega.ion and not members OF the
church. Ans, 81, 900. Signed by the
trustees, you being one Of them, dated
July 3D., 1857.
After this date We nearly oil, but |
yourself, increased our subscription to |
pay off the debt on the chu rch, and we |
received 500 from the Board OF
Church Erection, and Mr.. Tenn leton
received Sl0 from the Presbyterian |
Church In Pennsylvania. These fig.
ures and facts do not bear out your
statement.
Again you testified before the same |
court, and now claim that you never
understood that the church belonged
to or was under the control Of the
Presbyterians. We wish 10 append
another certificate:
