Wilmington Dispatch.)
On last Thursday we published clip
ring from the Western North Carolina
Baptist concerning the Rev. ID. IL. Tut
tie who was for many years pastor Of
Fifth Street Methodist church OF this
city. The article reads:
1--WE are reliably informed that during
the month of October at Beaufort, n. o.,
Rev. ID. Ii. futile, pastor OF the NJ.
E. Church at this place, was asked by
two of his members to baptize them by
immersion, and at the appointed hour
the preacher arrived at the place and
asked permission of gentleman to go
into his place of business to prepare Tor
the ordinance, which was given. When
MIR. Tuttle came out OF the room ne
was dressed in a bathing suit (which
is considered almost indecent to be used
for the purpose for which they are made)
and said i am ready for business
HE waded out to a suitable place,
and then called the candidates to him,
which they did and were baptized.
When they came to the shore Mr.. Tut
tle said: i am wet this Deep | Will
get wet deeper, and waded back and
began padding and swimming around.
When he came out this time he said:
Now / am pretty There were no
Scripture reading, nor song, nor bene-
diction.
"We understand that great many
people in Beaufort were shocked at this
conduct by man who seemed to want
10 honor the Lord Jesus Christ"
A friend in the city mailed Mr.. Tut
tie a marked copy of The Dispatch, con-
tanning the above article and in reply
the learned divine says II never per-
formed any religious duty in my life
more reverently that ! did the baptism
of those parties, and further, | have
never been so basely misepresented in
anything-all the outgrowth of sectarian
jealousy" BY request and in justice
