Richmond planet., 1899-08-12

Veutlop, one q secretary OF state COD
vention, others occupying prominent
positions, who took tha railroad train
on Sunday morning for Staunton,
Lynchburg, Richmond and other
points, was Jehovah with them7 OUGHT
such ministers to preach, Remember
the Sabbath day and keep it holy" that
note made on Sunday is null and
void, that q contract made on Sunday
does not stand in law, and be allowed
to be pastors OF churches?
ANOTHER QUESTION.
A Baptist conte mporary says, "Msny
of the visitors to the B. Y. P. q. Oon-
vention visited the grounds of the Un-
iversity and they ware loud in their
praise OF the new buildings"
We ask. were they loud in their
condemnation OF the color-IiDe being
drawn in said ConventioD7 Did they
loudly condemn the act of endeavor-
ing to force the editors wife and other
ladies into the gallery corner Of the
auditorium, although the resurrection
was nigh2 Were they loud In their
condemnation of Don-cooperation with
B. 7. p. US of color? Were they loud
in declaring that the junior editor Of q
Baptist paper, published in Richmond.
Va, q member of the Executive Com
mittee, and chairman of the commit
tee on programme ought to inform his
eolored subscribers whether he had a
hand in executing the color-line and
why no black young people were put
on the programmed
ID. q. Jacox, young black man, and
president of the celored b. Y. p. q. OF
Virginia was present. Was he put on
the programme? Is that cooperation
in the name Of Jehovah7
AEUENY MOVEMENT.
That is funny, ,-Danville preachers
moving heaven and earth to split, and
one Of them q recording secretary re-
cords the doings of the splitters, call
ing upon the brotherhood for peace
Such out Her0ds Tammany with all of
its mRneuvres.
The Convention held at Lexington,
May, 1899, was in such a condition as
to prohibit the usual annual meeting
OF the Ministers Association OF Vir-
ginia." how could that prohibition
be, when the constitution, article 7
savs: This Association shall meet
annually on the day pryor to the meet
ing OF the Virginia Baptist State Con-
vention?" "Ohi the moFs- covered
bucket which hung in the well |"
TWO ExTRHMEs.
A writer, W. n. O. in the Virginia
Baptist carries his readers up to where
mercury freezes, and down to where
ether boils, in his admiration of coop
GRAFTON. His plan OF cooperation as
recently shown. He lost his library,
instead of appealing to his three
churches for aid, he appeals to the
public in general for aid to procure a
library.
That is the plan with many jealous
co-operationIsts, instesd of doing for
themselves in their own household
they look for others to do for them. A
iudicious movement is to do all you
can for yourself among your own peo-
pie, then, If necessary, appeal abroad.
w. II. c., we will cooperate with you
to keep the yellow fever from YOUR
church during the Association.
ARBITRARY ACTION.
The 8. s. Board, arbitrarily, took the
eoming convention from Lynchburg
TO Portsmouth. Too much Seminary
for them in Lynehburg. Well, they
fed from black Jack near the noun
tains, to be confronted by yellow Jack
in tidewater.
Well, 3 heavenly timepassing shot
gun qnarantines, to reach State Con-
vention with only AZ Sunday Schools
in it as members.
