Mr. 4. C. Brolcn, and Temperance Friends ia

editor and lecturer for twelve years past and this
is the first time in all that busy career that my
truthfulness or honor has been questioned As Il

have enjoyed the fraternM affection and entire
respect OF all my brethren Of the press, aud were
not the little country sheet that has thus assailed

either party, however much we may differ in po-
tical opinion, who would permit me to be SLAM
dered through his columns
As for the man, G. Arnold Christensen, no one
here knows anything of him, and never heard
Of him before. My friends will readily see that
no public man or woman whose time Is valuable
in their work, as mine is, can spend time hunting
down ISLANDERS and unsupported charges from I'M
known persons.
1t will be observed that in the editorial of Mr.
Atkins he says that the Undoubted authority OF
his correspondent says that the charge brought
against Rev. A +. Bishop was malicious Islander,
that gentleman being a presbyter in good and
regular standing, compelled by i'll health to en-
gage in farming" etc | would refer those inter
ested in the matter to b. L. Davenport Joshua

who furnished means to run the church-ior evil
