THE SIXTH CCOLoRED) BAPTIST CHURCH
SQUABBLE.-EsifOr Syur: Allow me snace
for word or two concerning the troubles i'm
the sixth Baptist church OF this city. Mr.
IN. IL Lee is not now pastor of the Sixth
Baptist church, and was not at the time of
us organization, in 1863, by Rev. Mr. Bouldin,
Win only five members. Mr. Wright a
white minister, OBLIGATED in the church be-
lore Mr.. Lee was ordained, in 1866. r. John
son was neither member nor clerk at that
time. His honor the Judge of the Police
Court did not decide as to the rights of prop-
erty. but only fined the innocent members of
the church upon the oath of Mr. Lee and his
excluded deacons, purpOrting that the CON
gregation was disturbed while in a religious
worship. The church has never authorized
any parties to incorporate themselves as
trustees of the same.
