MEMO TO ]. A. 5.
REPLY TO DR.. scARBoRouGH's RE-
VIEW OF HIM.

AAR WAaHHtd l6AAEloH.
But when he for the press doth write
He swears like any sailor
And cleanses with quotation marks
His insult to the Savior.
The people of Pike county Of
course are surprised that Memo
would notice this coarse rough
man in print, but he does so just
in order to let him show himself
and to let Bro. Schilling see what
one OF his men Of note Is doing
to support the cause of Christ
and to lift all Christians up into
purer and higher condition of
spiritual life, instead Of which ne
is exhibiting himself on far
lower level than Memo ever
thought any preacher would wish
to occupy. DR.. Scarborough is
quite mistaken when he think
his medicine is winning Memo to
his side. The latter asserted
that had he been a voter in Linz
coin, he would have supported
him in July; but that was before
Memo knew much of him. He
could never do 80 now.
The Doctor after printing in
the Gazette of October 8, where
in he says OF Memo: "He is a
breeder OF church troubles. Thus
in mad fit with mud on his
horns and business in his eyes
he paws up the earth and organ :
ICES new church of which he
becomes the head of the corner''
and then in his last letter saws
that Memo introduced the Osyka
church matter when the doctor
had previously written the para :
graph above, and says he did no,
denounce Memo as a Splitter.
Verify the imitation brain"
herein is very assertive.
The Doctor knows we are COM
manded ito do unto others as
we would be done by" and while
he like Bro. Schilling denounced
Memo for criticising and review
ing the preachers generally, yet
Bro. Scarborough turns square
around and reviews an article OF
Nemo's in a recent number of
the Baptist.
The article he criticizesis head
ed, and the heading is not mine
"Cheap Religion, the desidera- :
tum Of the World" "People
have set out TO find cheap re-
ligion and they have found it.
The fashionable and the easy
have been sought and found and
the inner mind finds other en-
ployment than that of humblinq
iteelf before God. Thus God is
sought through extraneous means
and worshipped through outside
observances. Doctrines are fought
over while spirituality fees away.
The old service at the family al
tar, is only remembered as re-
lie OF past d ays and the garner
ing in of members is in many
places held up as the testimoni-
ais of success. If poor Law
member speaks of this deplora-
BILE declension and abandonment
of religion, and speaks up for
the higher interior life, some
minister comes down upon him
like a wolf on the fold and ac-
cuses him of trying to convert a
denomination to a new theory Of
holiness.
The above paragraphs are what
Doctor Scarborough undertook
10 review, and puts himself in as
the wolf, when Memo never had
any allusion to him as a reviewer
as he knew him TO be too narrow
in the intellectual straddle to re-
view such sentences. Bro.
Scarborough then while he thinks
only Builders should review min
listers yet clamors out against
an article of layman as though
he could review anything.
Our Brother thinks the Imita-
tion Brain is gathering strength
and that it already has Memo
whirling through space looking
for a place to fall. Memo thinks
differently, he thinks the ear
wigs have even assaulted that
empty cavity and have destroyed
the imitation brain itself.
We read he is going off to
evangelize. Glad OF it but are
interested in knowing
''To what dark cave OF frozen night
Will empty Allen hie."
Where can he find a people
who would wish instruction from,
"a human hays stack on two feet
Where defamation sits complete"
We trust that q kind providence
