Mr.. Editor -
| You Will oblige me much to allow
me space Ia your worthy and everIast-
ing JOurn al for the purpose of vindi-
caGlng myself and the grand old Plan
at On the 18th of Decem bRr, L gave
out notice concerning Rev. w. W.
Browne, the Alpha and Omega of the
True keformers, who was invited TO
| speak at the Union Hail, Dec. 10Th.
This kindlydid withthe understand
ing that the meeting would be free
Tor all co speak. but soon after l ar
| rived found out that none would be
! allowed TO speak but those in favor of
| the" Great Am" This great king be-
gan to speak about 8 80 O'Clock. lie
started oil and con tinued SO for more
than a half hour. Then he began TO
boycott the peoples paper known as
the Richmond PLANET, and to domi-
nize its editor in the person of MIR.
John Mitchell, Jr., the race sufferer.
l Will now mention some of the things
that he said about you and the PLANET.
The PLANET Is paper made up out
OF lies and you who buy and read it.
buy and read lies. In addition to this
he said that be could sell and buy that
lying paper and little Johnny was too
light for him.
REV. BROWNIES WILD ANTICS.
He became so indignant and unQod-
ly until was somewhat compelled to
speak, saying, "The PLANET will live !"
Then he became wild over the matter.
SO much so that he began to hiss and
stretch his eyes at me saying. .'if YOU
are for little Johnny, stop talking back
to me about the PLANET living. This
is the True Reformers' meeting and if
you want to talk you will have to call
a mass-meeting."
PEOPLE LEAVE IN DISGUST.
Soon after this, about twenty walked
cut, and many ot them were my men,
bers. Then ne found out that the
grand old PLANET had many friends
here, that did not ask him any odds.
Rev. Browne probably thought that he
never would hear from me again since
he made SO small OF me at nus meet
ing, but want him TO understand
| that am representing Jesus and his
| everlasting church, and / intend 10
speak nay sentiments in che church
and through the public press. l know
| MIR. Browne thinks he is a great phi
lanthropist, but i am sure he is more
of braggart than any ything else.
| Now. Mr. Editor L will tell Rev. w
w. Browne why said that the PLANxq
will live since he would not allow me
to tell him at his meeting.
WHY THE PLANET WILL LIVE.
First, it will live because it has
liberal and fearless editor. 2nd Ii
| will live because the world knows thai
1 - anHlGnanCanla Did

and out af the state have indorsed IL
course ana are reading it. 9th. 1t viii

9Th. 1t will live because the peonI

: STERN REMINDER.
: i On DIOLn0E DIOWno you 1OrQOf fbc
Z the PLANET is one of our adopted chill
/ ren. This child was born in Ricl
mond when you were looking for
church in which to preach, but sine
you found Society greater and ricbs
than the church in your opinion. no
you are fighting the preachers becau,
they will not follow you. Suppose m
i pastors were to leave the word of Go
! and go about organizing societies liI
. you, what would become of the SON
of men2 L will answer the ouestio
: by saying they would fall in He'll. Yc
= forgot that you told the people MOI
f than fifteen years ago that God ha
t called you to preach. Now you tell !
!, that some one has called yor from II
Gospel ministry to organize societi,
and banking institution
: Please tell me who called Won fro
: the word of God2 Now think if VI
: will let the PLANET and its edit,
}. alone, you will get your $50 ,OOO mn,
:, quicker. Now hope you know wbv
i said that the PLANET will live.
