Ino Detterlng OF the world at large
but as time passes away from century
TO century so doth many secret socie-
ties. II they do not finally pass away
there have been great universal split
which ruins the first foundation Thus
people lose confidence in ITS founders,
discovering that they seek to be en-
riched and the masses can 60 to de-
struction.
MASONIC Comparison.
There was at one time in the history
of the world one Masonic order that
existed-supposed to be the only order
of it's kind under the canopy of heaven
and no other could be founded. but rs
we journeyed on down the lane of
time and as the years passed away.
some eagle eyed man detected some
detection in the supposed great Ma
sonic secret organization and secures a
right to organize another branch OF a
different government and to-day Meth
er one is doing the good as they
should do on account Of split in such
q prominent and noble order In this
case it is equally expressively true in
other secret organizations. 1t has
been so ever since the dawn of crea-
ton and people knew what these Sc
cret organizations were.
A BELIEF IN GOD AND THE END OF ALL
PERFECTION.
We believe God in his all wise Judge
ment has so decreed that each of these
| great Orders now exist that have been
doing so much and are still striving
to act their part; exist Just so long
and then de brings about new socie-
ties. Thus the former passes away
according to his demand, and others
are instituted to remain in their stead
So much fraud and deception are be-
ing over taken in societies founded by
men or our race and other races until
God is displeased with their work. We
mean these socities founded durir q
the past quarter and half OF century
Now there is great wide spread
agitation CONCERNING the order known
as the True Reformers' Organization
with head quarters in the city of Rich
mond. 1t is true and God has smiled
upon the founder and the labors in this
society, since its appearance in Ameri-
ca OF the noble and excellent wors
this society has accomplished.
THE GREAT QUESTION.
The great question now, in what will
the final end of the True Reformers
result2 Will it 60 down with only a
few hundred OF its chief officers to re-
ceive the spoils ana thousands of the
poorer class to be reduced to poverty
and misery? Some tell US, il there was
such thing as a dissolution OF the
True Retormers, why the founder
would certainly be entitled to the laiR-
est portion of its value. This is the
great trouble in this section among the
members OF the order.
VISIT TO LYEoHBURa.
We had the pleasure of visiting the
city of Lynchburg during the past
week attending the Fair and the "Buf-
falo Bill" show which was very grand
indeed. Thousands OF people were in
the city on this occasion. While in
the city we were the guest of Mrs.
Eliza Williams and her accomplished
esteemed and cultured daughter. Miss
r. +. Williams, of 1907 Monroe st.
Miss Williams is one of the bright and
all learning students of Virginia Semi
nary, and will complete her studies
during this term. We predict bright
future before Miss Williams
We met with the new pastor of the
LIST Baptist Church of Salem. at this re-
sidence. Rev. w. II Ashburn who is q
student at the Seminary. Rev, Ash
burn has just closed one of the most
successful revivals at his church that
it mas ever been the pleasure of the
people of Salem to witness. There
were thirty-one conversions. We
wish the Reverend much success in his
new field of labor as he is young
minister destined to do great good for
the upbuilding of Christ's kingdom on
earth.
THE COAL coMPANY's SUCCESS.
The Glen Lincoln Coal & Coke Com
pany, of Norton, Va with it's prlnci-
pal Office in this city is truly doing a
remarkable work along the Industrial
line for the race. The Company will
ship its first car load of coal Novemb +
LIST, 1897. The tipple is in manner
completed, as also is the tracks. The
stockholders are the employees OF this
noble enterprise Why does not the
Order of True Reformers open coal
mines and other industries so as to
| give the common laboIing masses of
our race work, if it is so great instead
of trying to fight the PLANET and its
Editor all the time.
| PROPHETIC WARNING.
Those would-be writer's to the ere
former" will be sleeping in their graves
and the God of the universe will have
forgotten all about them, while the
noble hero among our leaders of to-day
Ia leader indeed he is-Hon. John
Mitchell, Jr., will be going about do
ing good and the PLANET still living in
the defense of right and justice. There
- ~ IN
be large number of True Reformers
who are wishing the PLANET a down
fall will 60 the way OF all the earth now
> very soon, when the PLANET will still
live.
The Lord knows who those are that
serve HIM and it is He who is ever
watching over US and our work. If
, those who are trying to fight the Planet
through the "Reformer" were to keep
q uiet, the public would not think 81
much but every man, woman anC

ali. They are simply helping to Kill

to know it. We presume each one i
