1t would seem that at the time Q
portion of the members of the Com
gressional Committee met at Little
Rock during the session Of the state
Convention, it was not known to
them who the Chairman was, and
they appointed Col. II. f. Critten-
den, of Crittendcn, to act as such.
He has issued call for meeting
of the Convention at Jonesboro, Au-
gust 18th. This call had the effect of
bringing to light the roa. Chairman,
Col. j. W. Staytou, who has issued
his call, setting September the 9th,
which will be found in this issue, as
copied from the Batesville Guard.
The Wittsburg Chronicle has it Au-
gust 10th, and as it claims to have
the call direct from Col. Stayton,
himself, we are somewhat at a loss
to know which is the right date.
VIII the brethercn throughout the
District put their heads together and
determine definitely which is the
proper date for the Convention TO
meet?

While reading our Lady Reader
contributors communication last
week. and we came to that part where
she alluded to 'Sootchman's' opposi-
ton to q" biblical revisionists" we re
called so many fragrant violations Of
its teachings In our midst, that we
seriously doubted If a revision to
conform to the practices of prolessed
Christians of our day, would not be
a pretty good idea after all. When
we find men, and women too, hold
ing up the old bible in one hand and
preaching Jesus, and Him crucifcd,
while with the other digging up the
past, and with "kcencst tongue Of
slanter' wounding and laceratne
the pure and innocent, it would seon.

sary to save them from punishment
