DR.. d. II. Muller Explains
Dr. D. H. Muller, Pastor of the First
Methodist Episcopal Church, of Canton, is
in this city attending the conference. He
was called upon Saturday and asked about
the anonymous letters to which he made
reference in his sermon last Sunday night.
II wish you would set me right on that mat
ter" he said. "The dispatches sent from
Canton said that had received anonymous
letters; that is all wrong. I was preaching
last Sunday night on overcoming evil with
good. 1 referred to the things that
annoy and harass men, and showed how
Christians could rise superior to them.
Among the other things that wound men
and give them trouble, mentioned anonv-
nous letters 1 said that the writing of such
missives showed q bad heart: that it was
great sin, and that there was no cure short
of conversion. i said that If 1 were guilty
of such an act should want to hang my
self. If there was anyone in the congrega-
tion that had ever been guilty of this sin, l
said would be glad to meet such a person
and spend an hour with him praying for his
conversion.
"I referred to two letters that had seen
during the week, one received by my Sunday
school superintendent and the other by the
director Of music, bothpetters rejecting on
members of their families. The Sunday
school superintendent had only recently
been elected to that position, and the re-
ceipt of the letter caused him much trouble.
felt that something ought to be done, and
after my sermon some of the members came
forward and thanked me-"
