sympaihi7ed with him eliminating in
Dis and their exclusion was Scripluial
and in perfect accord with the customs

ZION of the so-cailei sharon Baptist

from (mrche- mainly outside of thc cily
as -uhger-iyc of the interests of peace
and Christian fellowship among tAe

clcsia-iical Council that organized me
s0-cailed Sharon Baptist Church, in tie
face OF the protest kindly sent and Ie-
Cciyed by the Council from the Second
Baptist Church which protest set forth
the fact ihat the Rev William Troy ana
his friends. in part composing tho SOC
called Sharon Baptist Church. We're fairly
dealt with and scripturallv excluded from
the Second Baptist Church was unwise
and disc0uHeous Go the fellowship ST
The Baptist churches az this city.

of ihe reorzanizing Council that The
pastors and churches of this city have
formed on expressed opinions hostile 10
The interests Of the so-called Sharon
