Editor OF PLANET:
We were kindly requested to be

witness the rehabilitation of the First
Baptist Church of that town.
At $3.50 O'Clock A. NJ. Supt. M. J. W
Winston opened the Sunday School in
their usual mode of exercises. There
was very large attendance present.
At the close of the school, Rev. w. w.
Brown of Roanoke City addressed the
officers, scholars and visitors.
At IL 80 A. M, Rev. Brown ascend
ed the sacred rOstrum. He chose for
his mornings discourse. Psalms 1912,
walk about Zion, and go round about
her" The Reverend delivered a very
appropriate sermon from this text He
was logically scholarly and eloquent
ly i'm his deliverances.
NAT o'clock, Rev. T. J Brandon OF
Elkhorn. West Va, occupied the pull
pit and preached very forcible and
spiritual sermon from Genesis 2:l7
"How dreadful is this place; this il
none other but the house of God"
Rev. Brown filled the stand at night
and preached one of his able and soul.
stirring sermons to large congrega
ton. There-was not standing room il
the isle. Rev. Brown is one of the
ablest Baptist pulpit orators of thii
country. Rev. Carter. who is pastor o.
this beautiful remodelled church, has
made it very grand edifice, it is one
of the most handsome churches il
this part of the southwest. The win

FURTHER CRITICISM OF THE PLAN.

The plan set forth that u lectures
are TO be given at the institute, two
or three may be delivered by colored
brethren six or eight TO be delivered
by two or three white brethren No
"may be" about the white brethren,
but may be" about the colored breth
rem.
Note the financial part of the plan.
In three successive years the V. b. :.
Convention is to give $3.50; the second
year 81 206, the other cooperating
bodies $S44 apiece the Bird year, the
convention is 10 give 81 $40. the other
CO. operating bodies $3.50 each. The
cooperating bodies are rich, the con-
vention is poor, and yet in two years
she is TO pay out more money than
each of the co-operpating bodies such
is not the stI ong bearing the mfr mi
ties of the weak.
The three white cooperating bodies
are wealthy and handle more money in
one year than the conN ention has
handled since her birth in 1867 and
her first annual meeting In Norfolk in
1868. Her constituents are poor, and
working for TIE lowest wages. began

MIscHIKvoUs INTERFERENog


2nd. The missionaries, are to co |
operate with churches in counselling,
and encouraging, the ordination,
and settlement as pas tOrs, only men
of good repute and fair attachments -
Such is we'll enough on the face Of il,
for none but proper men should be
pastors, but it is calculated to pro-
duce collision and discord. The
choice of church, who shall be her
pastor is certainly supreme, She GER
tainly has as much right to elect a
man of her choice to be her pastor, as
man has to selec wife or n wo-
man. husband
The rule of the Baptist is that a
church, itself, determines on the or
dinatiOn of one of her members, to the
ministry, she then calls upon the sis
ter churches to form presbytery, to
consider the propriety Of ordaining
the person. The presbytery. after a
full, free, impartial investigation ex-
presses It's judgement upon the fitness
of the man for ordination. The Judge
ment of a presbytery is certainly SUI
perior to the judgement of mission
airy.
A Boptist church elects her pastor
/ of her own choice, and not the choice
of a missionary. After she has chosen
her pastor, if she sees fit, she calls up
on her sister neighboring churches to
install him. If he is not the proposed
person of good repute ana fair attain
, ments," the conscientio churches
will not install him. Such, L think is
sufficient; such is the old landmark
we are not willing to relinquish it.
3rd. The missionaries are to lad
wise, counsel churches concerning
1.
worship. and in ali matters relatin,
> and assist in receiving funds from th,
people themselves to complete build
ings without Indebtedness.
Such virtually clothes the mission
airy with the wisdom of Solomon, hav
ing a superior knowledge of real es
tate, the ablest financier. Such pre-
sents the churches as being destitut
