The church trial OF Drs. Hayden
and Holt was to have taken place
last Wednesday night, accordingly
everybody and everybody's brother
was at the First Baptist church long
before the hour set for trial.
Hayden and Holt both joined the
East Dallas Baptist church the Sun
day before the trial, and as one
church has no jurisdiction over an
other, it followed that all proceedings
against these two "brethren" had to
cease.
There are many ways to kill %
dog besides choking him to death on
butter" II the motive which
prompted them to join the East Dal-
las church was manly one, tho ma
jority fail to see it; but, on the other
hand, cowardice comes to the front
and points with the finger OF scorn
to the man who resorts to chicanery,
instead of boldly facing his nccus-
atoms with the evidence Of his hon
esty and integrity.
One need not have lived in the
days of Shakespeare to have realized
'.That q man may smile and smile,
and be o villain still" There are
still in this world cunning, mean
men, whose knowledge of human ma
ture and its weakness enables them to
play upon the crednlity of mankind
those who for their own base pur-
poses not only attack man in his
strength, but drag in poor, defense
less woman, and condemn her to
the lowest depths of degradation. 1t
makes one exclaim, ooh, Christianity,
what crimes are committed in thy
name"
There were good many preachers
from other places on hand, through
DR. Hayden's invitation, among them
we're Dr.. Carroll, DR.. Law, DIR, How
ard and others. After the meeting
had adjourned Mr.. Holt called ont
to the visiting brethren to meet at
the East Dallas church tho next
morning. They meet and passed a
resolution to the effect that Drs.
Hayden and Holt were exonerated
from the charges brought against
them, on the principle, l suppose,
that as they did not meet the
charges they were exonerated.
The teachers examination comes Of
next Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day. 1t is needless to say that the
majority of the teachers will feel two
inches taller when il is ov or, and The
results are known.
