MANCHESTER LETTER,
"Big q" Speaks Plainly on Mrs. Coy s
Articls-Personals-

Again has our attention been called
to an Article written by the deposed
Baptist, sister Ellen Coy We regret
very much TO write these lines and to
see that she is so far from her old
landma Shall we Judge her to be
insane? What shall the logical con-
clusion be for such bombastic arti-
Gle? Poor deposed Baptist
1t seems TO be fact that she can't
stand the gospel truths as preached by
our learned doctor, A. Binga. Jr. But
we are taught by the word OF God
For the time will come when they
will not endure sound doctrine; but
after their own lusts shall they heap
to themselves teachers, having itching
ear; And they shall turn away their
ears from the truth, and shall be turn
ed unto fables.-II Tim 4; "a.
No true Christian would endeavor to
break up peace and bring about ccnfu-
sion in a quiet Christian community
Behold" says David. chow good and
how pleasant it is for brethren to
dwell together in unity Psalms
1881.
We feel justified in saying that an
eternal Christian life must. .corroborate
the profession of an internal Christian
faith. This apostolic injunction must
be to a good degree made manifest to
all-in every professed disciple.
If ye then be risen with Christ seek
those things which are above where
Christ sitteth on the right hand of
God set your affection on thing
above and not on the earth For ye
are dead and your life is hid with
Christ in God.
No amount Of attestation can make
the world believe that she is q Chris
tian, for her conduct shows that she
has fallen from grace and DOES not
correspond with her profession.
She claims that we write articles
for our own benefit. That may be
pie in general, and most especially
those of her kind. She says she will
write because God told her (Which is
very doubtful) to do so. And we sup
pose, she is obeying the command
Now, can any rational man or woman
believe that after Mrs. Coy had been a
Baptist for 2S years that God told her
to change, and that she Was travelling
the wrong road? Itis real amusing to
see that she has been converted more
than % years and has been a Baptist
all that time, and as soon as she
changed her faith, found that she was
