\ NEW PLAN OF SALVATION

Last evenings mail brought the DEM
ooRAr a package OF handbills and q let
ter from VIM. r. II. Marshall of Dallas
County, Mo-, and in compliance with the
request made by the gentleman in his
letter, n copy OF the handbill is herewith
presented for the edifcation of all whom
il may concern:
NOTICE.
10 all people: |, VIM. L. II. Marshall, of
Dallas County, Mo-, can say without fear
of successful contradiction, that the New
Testament teaches that no man nor woman
can get into the kingdom of Heaven with
out obeying the commands to salute with
holy kiss and wash each others feet. Kissing
the Saints will be found in five different
chapters, viz: Last Chapter of Romans
and 10th verse; 1st Corinthians, last chap
ter and Goth verse; 2nd Corinthians. last
chapter and 18th verse: 1st Thessalonians,
last chapter and Goth verse; LIST Peter and
l4th verse. Feet washing: lst Timothy 9Th
chapter and 10th verse.
This is free country, and II Mr.. Mar
shall desires to camp by the plan Of sal
walton as outlined in his handbill il is
his privilege so TO do, and no man hath
the right to kick thereat. Ii, however,
Mr.. Marshall would 20 the business one
better, and hunt through the New Testa-
mcnt until he picked out a few chapters
it ought to be done without much trou-
ble-authorizing the amendment OF his
plan so as to do away with the
mutual pedal-laving injunction, and also
fix it So that converts should he com

cises alluded TO only with the mos
winsome OF the opposite sex-all of then
are winsome, to be sure, but some more
so than others-the DEMOCRAT coult
assure him Of following that, through
sheer envy, would send all the othe

space of fortnight. But the feet
washing plank must first be thrown over
board. II is both unnecessary and OBJ
jectionable, since, cleanliness being mex
to godliness, those who are too lazy t
perform that very necessary act TO
themselves, are too ungodly to be nj
lowed within the fold and permitted

coming back to the other tenet OF Mr.
Marshall's faith, under the con
ditions above set forth, we shoul
think that it ought to be un
versally approved, as atfording an cas-
and very agreeable means TO man
OF obtaining that salvation which othe
wise they could never hope to Cobb
upon. With such platform to wor
from, the DEMOCRAT desires it understoo
that the most OF its heretofore godle.
