To the Editor of PLANET,
Dear Sir Allow me to make this
appeal to the Baptist Brotherhood of
this state
Dear brethren and sisters, the force
of circumstances compel me to make
this important appeal to you. l am
sorry to say that Brother Morris and
Mr.. Humbles both say that they will
not any longer indorse the notes for
the Seminary but that these notes
must be paid on or before June II. '95.
The Seminary building and grounds
were advertised for sale on Sunday af-
ter the meeting of the Convention
Sale to be Friday, May 31st, 1895.
saw Mr.. Humbles and he agreed to
hold up the sale until June 8th and
the sale is set for that date and is ad-
vertised in each daily paper. On yes
terday while President Hayes was out
of the city, Rev. J. M. Armistead. Rev.
Kirby, Rev. Binga, d. d, came to the
city to have a meeting of the trustees.
Not being able to be present on ac-
count of other engagements, they call
ed on me and stated that Brother Nor
ris and MIR. Humbles had said that we
must by June 18th, be ready to take up
each note as they would not endorse
any longer and that this must be done
without fail You know that the Sem
mary foundation had already a bond
ed debt Mr.. Humbles of $3.50 when
Prof. Hayes became President and
there were some other out standing
debts. In order to build the walls Prof
Hayes added to Mr.. Humbles' $3.50
IS, 100, making itnow So, $50 in all. We
owe to Mr.. Humbles' interest past due
1893 40 more In order to stop the
sale we must raise for Mr.. Humbles
pass due interest 1858 40, and Mr.
Thornhills' Builders lien $lO63 81, and
also make some arrangements to take
up these notes Unless this is done al
once by June 18th, the Seminary build
ing and ground will be sold.
You remember that these good
brethren told you at the Convention
that if they could not control, they
would not any longer go on the notes
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1895-06-01

as they had been going, and they are !
doing Just as they said. SO something
must be done at once or wei Oe COM
yelled to lose all we have paid on the
building and ground and have 70 get
somewhere to teach our large school
next fall For you can see 10y this no.
tice lust when the sale will be, june
l Sth. but il may be held up until June
nth. so Rev. J NJ Armistead says.
Now brethren we need money We
must raise at once to save our Semina-
nv 81. 343 40 Now brethren we must
act at once Ifany brother can aid in
this mntter now is the time If we
can borrow enough Co pay of these
claims our good brethren put upon MS
while they were i'm peace, why IL will
save the Seminary and ground Broth
rem what shall we do? = e need action
at once. Tell the people for this is the
peoples property. and not any one per
lson's But unless we DO something al
lonce we will lose il sure, and then We
+ will Just be where we were 10 year
- lagO-without any school building W.
Q can call our own. Prof Hayes IS ava.
e now working for the Seminary, but un
y less the sale is stopped, we will %

BOWLING GREEN LETTER.

Rowling GREEN, VA, May p, 20.
shiloh Baptist Church, Bowling
Green. Va. was organized September,
1868. Her first pastor was III. >. JONI
son. who remained pastor WIN US 70
his death which occurred IN 1919. SuI
next pastor was Rev. burren 1olas,
who remained with US to his death IN
1875. - .,,oroa
Of the Church. He remained pastor
until he accepted a call TO llorr,epurs'
Do n. 1Coe, where ne stayed unJ1 oN-
ertaken by bad health.
At the resignation of Rev. A. Good
loe, Rev. w. +. Byers took charge OF
the church January, 1887, and remain
ed with us until his death which oc-
Cured in December, 1872.
Next comes Rev. J. II. Turner who
took charge of the Church in August,
1898. and rendered his resignation
May IL, 1895.
The church has had five pastors,
and out of the five three died
When Rev. Turner came here ne
found the church about five hundred
dollars in debt for piece of Land, the
church also due Rev. w. F. Byers Tor
dollars which was promptly paid to
sister as directed by him before ms
cath.
Rev. Turner accepted two hundred
koliars year as salary making p DEBT
including pastors salary about seven
hundred dollars.
The church has paid four hundred
dollars on the land, leaving debt OF
about one hundred dollars with inter
est to be paid now. The church only
due Rev. Turner. $4,000 when he re-
signed which could and would have
been paid him in a short time. we
would say that what Rev. Turner re
ceived from Shiloh and Mt. Carme
Churches together with his teaching
in public school here amount to nine
hundred, and seventy-eight dollars II
two years. And yet he publish his re
signatiOn to show TO the Worls
that the church has not paid him IN
dues. The church was not willing 70
him to leave until he was paid, and ye
he has cast her honored name to tn
four winds after she has set him o.
his feet as pastor, thus leaving tn
Church to groan under bad treatmen
bv him. 1t was also agreed he woul
give the church three months notice
But he did not do this. He extende
his resignation at once.
The church held "A called meetin
Wednesday night, May 10Th. Th
Church would not accept Rev. Turn
er's resignation, so he was voted
again.
Rev. Turner was in the meetin
and during the time did not say woI
about having published anything
the PLANET concerning his resignation
also met Rev. Turner Thursday an
had a long talk with him. He did NJ
mention it.

often fatal results of ignorance in this di-

SO physiology has been coupled with
elementary hygiene in our public schools.
just so. also, the plant-culture is des-

may encourage cruelty unless carefully
guided so also botany may encourage
ruthlessness unless coupled with careful

That a woman with knowledge of
