NOT THE FAIR THING.-The last Re
igious Herald had, scattered through its
admirable column of News and Notes, y
not less than half dozen strong and tell
ing points from sermon of Rev. J. M.
Frost of Staunton. That is the way the
Herald always does. No sooner does the
Stanton congregation get an able minis
ter, than the Herald editor hearing him
preach at the Southern Convention, or
State Association, or some gathering of
that sort, proceeds to let everybody know
what manner of minister Stanton has
and issues sort of invitation for every
Baptist congregation in need of such an
article to apply here. If there is another
State Association here in Staunton, the
Herald man won't more than be offered a
place to sleep at,and there are some doubts
about even that. AS for borrowing an
umbrella to keep him out of the wet he
couldn't begin to do it-that is, from a
Baptist.
