DOES NOT DENY 1T.
Rev Browne does not deny that be
mas received more than tweDty-eiRht
Thousand dollars from the Grand
FOUNTAIN ana also been voted iifetime
position at salary of eighteen hun
0reo ooi ars per year and extras.
10 give an idea OF the ruinous
amount thus given away one has onlv
TO consider how much labor wouId
nave TO be expended and how MANY
years 1t would take q person to earn
nifty thousand dollars even il they had
no expenses TO pay out of it.
MORE THAN A LIFETIME.
God has said that three score years
ana ten or 20 years are allotted TO man
to Live. 1t would take q nurse work
ing at go O0) six dollars per month,
six hundred and ninety-fOur years TO
make nifty thousand dollars. This
would be SIX hundred and twenty-four
years longer than it is allotted TO man
TO live.
Itwould take cook working at ($s)
eight dollars per month, five hundred
and twenty years to make fifty thous-
and dollars or four hundred and fiftv
years longer than it is allotted to live.
1t would take a house-servant work
ing at ten dollars per month. four hun
dred and sixteen years to earn fifty
thousands or three hundred and fortv-
SIX years longer than it is allotted to
man TO live.
MORE, TWO CENTURIES NEEDED.
1t would take butler working at
fourteen dollars per month, two hun
dred and ninety-seven years to earn
nifty thousand dollars, or two hun-
dred and twenty-seven years longer
than IL is allotted to man to live.
1t would take driver for a private
family working at sixteen dollars per
month, two hundred and sixty We ars
to earn fifty thousand dollars or one
hundred end ninety years longer than
1t is allotted to man to live.
lt would take dining room SER
want, working at eighteen dollars Der
month, two hundred thirty-one wears
to earn fifty thousand dollars or one
hundred and sixty-one years longer
than 1t is allotted oman to live.
COUNTRY SCHOOL TEACHER, TOO.
1t would take a country school
teacher working at twenty dollsrs per
month, one hundred and sixty-six
years and at twenty-five dollars per
month, one hundred and thirty-eirht
years to earn fifty thousand dollars
1t would take pastor who receives
i've hundred dollars per year Just one
hundred years TO earn fifty thousand
and one who receives one thousand
dollars per year just fifty years to ac-
the same amount.
All OF these people cited would have
to work this length of time, without
No sickness, holidays,
could be tolerated or the time would
be much longer
The Grand Fountain took lees than
twenty minutes to vote away fifty
thousand dollars If the absurdity of
the proposition is not made manifest
by these references then we are
much mistaken in an appeal to facts
and the statement of unvarnished
truth.
DID 1T MARE A MIsTAKR
Did the Grand Fountain make a mis-
take when it voted away fifty thous-
and dollars for what it already owned?
Did Rev. Browne intend to wreck
the institution when he asked for such
4 sacrifice?
THAT TRUE REToRMER MEETING.
A meeting of True Reformers under
the pass: word of the organization was
held Friday night, 22nd ult., at Trne
Reformers' Hall. There were about
six hundred vacant seats in this edi-
ice which accommodates one tbous-
and.
Rev. w. w. Browne announced that
be was done with the controversy. but
Mr.. w. p. Burren was as bitter as ne.
ual in his attacks He proceeded to
draw the col0r-line. Mr.. John n
Smyth who has been beastinC that
and Rev. Browne are pure-
blacks, and rejecting uDon
the brown-skin, the yellow and the
mulattoes did not speak
His perniciOus doctrine as enunciat-
ed Pin the True Reformer "blanketO
has done much to injure the orQaniza
tion as no sensible man would for
moment tolerate such an invidious dis
tinction.
Finally, Mr. r. T. Hill offered a Sc
ries OF resolutions, endorsing Rev.
Browne. They were adopted. Miss
Florence Isham, Miss Lena Isham.
Miss Julia A. Holmes, Mr., Roger
Franklin. Misses Sarah Brown and An
ME Jackson did not vote for them.
To make them conspicuous, they
we're called upon to stand and Misses
Florence and Lena Isham. Julia A
Holmes and Mr.. Roger Franklin stood
up. They were ridiculed and insulted
as they had dared to express their
opinions by their votes.
Never was there more disgraceful
proceeding Rev. Browne said that
those who did not endorse him would
have to get out of the Order.
Although he said he was done with
the controversy, he spoke against Edi-
tor Mitchell and the PLANET at Hamp-
ton last week, and at Danville, Va,
this week.
