That ImpOsltOr.

From American Baptist, March 9th, 1890.
We learn from reliable sources, that
one J. Nelson is operating in Iron
county, Mo-, and claims that he had a
discussion with us. in which he gained
a great victory. This man deceived q
few ignorant persons aboutBOnneTerre;
and as he was trying TO get up new
religious party and causing some dis
turbance, the Baptist church at that
place thought it proper to "ecdn5ne"
him and his doctrines. in church meet
ings. We were appointed by the
churc toh lead the examination.
Though Mr.. Nelson was not Bap-
fist, he consented to be tried by the
Baptist church. The facts have been
published in the american Baptist, OF
of March IS, 1889, from which we clip
as follows:
BONNIE TERRE CHURCH ACTION.
AS reported in the former issue, we
consented to examine the new plan of
salvation advocated by Mr.. j. Nelson
and his disciples, at Bonnie Terre, Mo.
Sunday the 18th, at 2 p, VI. Mr., Nelson
boldly assailed the ministry of other
denominations, denouncing other
churches as anti-Christian and ex-
pressed an anxiety to discuss the claims
OF Inc CnurCn OF GOu.' AS q cOndi-
ton of salvation he taught three dis
tinct actions, which he called baptisms
When one became perverted to his
doctrine he took him down into the
water and had him kneel, and bowed
him face foremost until he was i'm
mersed, in the name of the Father
As "A second performance, he took the
candidate from the water and had him
stand upright. with arms extended in
the form of cross, and then sprinkled
wine upon him in the name of the Son,
calling it "the blood of the new cove

A Letter.
from the Bonnie Terre Critic

From the Bonnie Terre Critic.
The following is a letter we received
yesterday, in vindication OF the char
ges made against Prof. j. Nelson. We
must say, however, that Mr.. Staples is
installing about us embracing Mr..
Nelson's faith; though the gentleman
is heaping unmerited hOnors upon US
we are not hypocrite enough TO stand
in the back ground. We have never
heard Mr.. y elson preach nor we have
no idea OF embracing is faith:

Had Senator Vests amendment to
the Senate pension bill been adopted,
we would have heard more clamor
from Alger and the other millionaire
pension hooters and pretorians about
the iniquity of pensions than we now
hear in their favor. And Vests prop
Osition was fair, too. He wanted the
expense created by this bill, paid by a
tax upon incomes of over 900 year
the larger the income the higher the
rate of tax. This was fair, because all
taxes now raised for Federal purposes
are raised by burdering the poor. But
such a millionaire club as the S-nate
voted it down, of course. But of this
the people may rest assured: we will
come to the income tax after awhile.
