STATION Items.
The moet absurd article that has ap- |
peared In the columns OF theSiEruDII-
CAN, is a something that denies the
truth and applies the cudgel OF vltu-
peratlon upon the writer OF the Stan
ton items. In making the statement. |
they say that nothing has been said
against the music played In tho Stan
ton NJ. +. Church by the orchestra from
Wilmington OF Second Baptist Mission.
except in Stanton Items. j, the under
signed, defy any member OF the Nj. Il
Church to truthfully say that ! have
written one word detrimental to any
member of tho Nj. f. Church or The

kindly spoke TO me about publishing
the program, making request to
omit something on II, and while the
members and audience held before
them tho program consisting OF
waltzes and marches, since this ap-
peared In the paper.
/ Why do you try to deny or vary
from the truth In regard to the music?
Furthermore. can aud will say that
more than one OF the members OF the
Nj. Il. Church expressed surprise at

tainment had been In the hall. III 1t is
m ccssary, can publish the names OF
those who were Mortified ut waltzes
played In the church.
/ Al ain, let me say, that no one could
dare find fault with the music, nor has
anybody uttered complaint nbout 1t,
but bear In mind, the NJ. Il. Church
members did not think 1t ut for their
church, and this they cannot deny.
As for Hrother Williams being salts

thing about 1t when lie was not there,
, and II lie upholds this kind OF music
i'll church, his views OF this acS do
mot correspond with those elegant and
isincere sermons he has been preaching
to his people.
y | utterly deny holding any malice

! tho one who says SO cannot prove IT..
. Therefore while your own communi-
eants have done things that have low.

I public yes, even with your own
brothers and sisters in the Church.
