THE SOUTHERN WOMEN AND REV
Mr.. CAVE.

IT is now being discussed as to
which of the two deserve the most
censure. the Rev. Mr.. CAVE or the
Board that invited him to deliver
that address at the unwilling OF the
monument to the soldiers and sail
ors OF the late Confederacy.
Ifhas been ascertained that this
reverend hypocrlte does not believe
either In the divinity of Christ, nor
the inspiration of the scriptures and
boldly declares that he would accept
a Buddhist into his church as quick
as he would any body else.
Thus not only has the North been
Iinsulted by his selection but the
IChrlstian sentiment of the South
shocked.
Rev. DIR. J. VIM. JONES who wrote
the.work on GEN. RoBERr E. LEE
entitled Christ In Camp" would do
we'll to change the style of the next
edition If he agrees with this dema-
gogue.
