sign. But. II he does not, the standard
believes that the whole question ought
to be left to the trustees. The Standard
says:
III DR.. Whitsitt does not resign, then
let the trustees alone deal with the mat
ter. In no case will its introduction into
the convention be helpful TO the cause,
and there are good reasons to fear tnat
II might be very hurtful. The unity OF
the Southern Baptist Convention Is or
far more importance than the Whitsitt
matter. On every side tho enemies OF
our work are seeking, by all sorts OF
means, 20 bring ruin, Reorganization
and anarchy 10 our organized agencies.
The men and papers that are Leading
in the crusade against our boards are
using the WhItsltt contention for all tnaI
~ Is worth in their campaign OF destruc-
ton. Rotten to the core on denOmlna-
tional peace. unity, and coherency, they

ems to bring friction and incite disrup-
ton. These UNCONVENTIONAL anarchists
are, to man, parading the Whitsltt
matter as one that should DO brought
before the Norfolk COnventiOn-not that
they are so sound in the faith, but be-
cause they see in such action a new cause
for trouble in our convention, and ne"
beg on which to hang their unbrotheriy
assaults on our plan Of carrying the gos-
pei to the lost"

Continuing the Standard adds Let us
keep IL out. Whatever resolution IS OF
ferod let IL be promptly tabled. In the
Whtsitt case the Board Of Trustees ana
not the convention. is the court OF maj
resort. We had better have no Seminary
than for il 10 be used as a means OF d.
viding our people. We are for the unity
and perpetuity Of our convention, ana
forever against the injection Of an issue
that threatens either. DR.. Whltslt IS

not turn our convention into bedlaih'
and thus strengthen the leaders OF the
