The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1895-10-24


This made them the champions OF
human rights for such would be .
needful blessing TO them. 30 Lord
Baltimore. n Catholic, in the settle
ment Of Maryland cried out for re-
ligious liberty. Lord Baltimore and
his colony needed it. The Baptists
and the Baltimore colony were under
the bottom and the ruling portion OF
the Church against them. What
does this provef That the bottom
man wants more rights and the riders
on top will
HELP TO HOLD HIM DOWN.
That is all it proves. The Bsptists
IN the course Of time becomes as re-
spectacle socially and religiously as
any sect. Now see it. The strong
est preacher in the South, DR.. Full
Ter, had lengthy debate with
DIR. Wayland, of the North
on the subject of African
slavery, the former contending that
it was Scripturally allowable and
the latter that it was Scripturally
wrong. What does this provef That
the Baptist sect is subject to social
pressure and have all
THE PASSIONS AND PREJUDICEs
inherent in the society in which it
lives. Notice, dear reader, my Ak
IONS as | go along.
The election came of in 1892 and
there were thousands Of Baptists who
supported gold standard men for
public Office through party preju-
dice. In this they were knowingly
or unknowingly on the side OF hu-
man slavery. Over majority
voted thus; therefore the Baptist de-
nomination Is on
THE SIDE OF HUMAN SLAVERY.
Again, the moral standard Of the
United States Congress has long
been below par. The parties gener-
ally set up the shrewdest and most
INSCRIPTIONS men for Congress.
when the wicked rule the people
mourn" The Baptists, as q sect
have supported these men if they be-
longed to their party; therefore the
Baptists were then on the side of hu-
man slavery. They make no pro-
test AS DR.. Pritcbard said the Ger
man Baptists did, the English Bap-
lists. the Colonial Baptists. These
Baptists went up to the throne of
power and made their cause known.
They were at the bottom then and
had something to say in politics;
now they are under social influences
and have no word against theslavery
OF Mammon as now exemplified in
THE LAWS OF THE LAND.
WhyY They don't think it will help
their sect. We have, we think, es-
tablished the point that the Baptists,
~ denomination, are or have re-
Gently been on the side of human
slavery.
We repeat the proof:
LIST. They never protest against po-
litical evils only in adversely and
when prosperity comes to the sect
they are as mute as mice on political
evils.
End. They are subject to social
pressure and influences as exempli.
fed in the slavery agitation and par
tizarTy, and il partizanry and social
pressure (Which is synonym for
the influence of money! rules, the
majority of the sect is, as q sect, on
the side of human slavery.
3rd. The maintaining Of the gold
bug policy is both robbery and
slavery for the people and this sect,
as whole, by its votes has main
tanned it.
4th. If the election of immoral
and dishonest rulers favors human
slavery they have helped on the side
OF human slavery.
These are the four propositions we
lay down as proof that the Baptist
denomination is now on the side of
human slavery. DR.. Thompson has
opened up, as it were by accident,
one of
THE MOST PoNDEROUS QUESTIONS
of the age, so let not DR.. T. d Pritch-
ard, DR.. Kilgoe and DR.. E. A. Yates,
OF Durham, hide their heads in 81
lence. The propositions laid down
as applying to the Baptist sect apply
in nearly full force to all the Evan
gelical sects defended by Drs. Kill
goe and E. A. Yates. These promo
sitions stand true till proven untrue.
It will do the people good and the
Church good to
PROVE THEM TRUE OR UNTRUE.
So let the learned men come and
handle logic skillfully, for even some
laymen can expose fallacies.
DR.. Cy. Thompson, l think, belongs
to one of these branches of the
Church. He must be q Methodist or
a Baptist for they have moey men
above social power to curb. As for
my part | am Baptist and I like
truth-truth above all the religious
sects and parties in this land.
Once more we invite these learned
men to defend their churches against
these four accusations. Either one,
If true, proves DIR. Cy. Thompson
right at Cary. We don't expect to
near from either of them again,
They have had their say by the re-
quest of some friends in favor Of
human slavery as it now exists, and
their endorsement ard the weight Of
their names was all tt at was desired.
The silence of these great men, now,
WILL PROVE THAT THEY TOO
are on the side Of human slavery,
