DR.. PRITCHARD
TAKEN TO TASK.
A Glaring Want Of Logic in Some
Of the D. D.s' Positions
Shown Up.
SHUNS THE POINT AT ISSUE

10 frOve Them Untrue-Of Accept the
Truth Of Thorn pson's Remarks.
We have often had occasion to an
imadvert' on DIR. T. q. Pritehard's
words as expressed in Charity ano
Children, not 80 much on account of
what was said as on account of the
animus behind them, plainly seen
through the gauze. The first thing
We wish to notice is that DIR. Pritch-
ard ought to have studied logic
when at college and be able to keep
to the point at issue; and the next a
good dose of theology would not
hurt-enough at least to
KNOW THAT MISREPRESENTATION
is sin.
DIR. Thompson at Cary did not say
the Christian church" but he said |
the church. DR.. T. II. Pritchard |
makes him say the Christian CLurcL
and by inference he exculpates the
Baptist sect from the charge as the
christian Church."
Then he intimates that DR.. Thomp
son is "the leader of a party" DR..
Thompson is not the leader of any
party.
Then he says DR.. Thompson's
charge is slander on the Christian
Church-alias the Baptist Church,
and he feels It his duty to refute DR..
ThoDpson's charge against the holy
religion of our Lord Jesus Christ,
alias the Baptist Church, alias the
Christian Church, aliassthe Church,
as false allegation. This is the
logic of graduate and Doc
tor of Divinity. That wore
church, christian Church ""Church
of Christ" has several mean
ings, and the Doctor of Divin
ity ought to have chosen one of its
meanings for his syllogysms, which
he has done, and in doing so
makes DR.. Thompson's charge solely
against the Baptist Church as the
Church" spoken Of, and recognizing
no other worthy of the name. Then
he says it is a false allegation, that
is to say, against the Baptist Church;
a slander, that is to say against the
Baptist church, the religion of our
Lord Jesus Christ. DR.. Pritchard
OUGHT NOT TO HAVE MIXED THINGS
up in this way. Is it not slande, on
DR.. Thompson to make him say that
the Baptist Church is on the side of
human slavery9 Is it not false to
make DR.. Thompson say that religion
of our Lord Jesus Christ is on the
side of human slavery7 But DR..
Pritchard's mind is so illogical and
misrepresenting that he comes forth
!, as the bold champion in behalf of
the Baptist Church and the religion
of our Lord Jesus Christ saying, by
9 this course, that DR.. Thompson had
, slandered and falsifed them. We
:, say this; if this is to be tbs criterion
!. by which we are to judge effects
9 from causes, if DIR. Pritchard's
= church is not now on the side of hu
= man slavery it soon will be.
The most amazing thing-and i
: shows not only the weakness of DR.
Pritchard but the truth of DR.
= Tn ,mpson I'll at the Doctor of Divin
9 ity has furnished all the facts nee
esary to establish the fact that tn
Church has been on the
SIDE OF HUMAN SLAVERY.
This, Doctor Pritchard will not deny

N eryf DR.. Pritchard says that much
for he says the Baptists were col
J., tending under scorn for human righr
y against this innumerable
ia COMBINED HORDE OF THE CHURCH
g. in favor of human slavery. The
lg all will admit, or do admit, that tt
Church has always been on the sic
of human slavery till the Chure
came to America. By Church v

Tossing the Christian religion as d
Thompson meant. The only que
n ton remaining to be proven is,
