ABSOLUTELY PURE


Scarborough was simply, after
finding himself utterly unable 20
make any argument out of Bro.
Sehilling $ indictment, he con-
cluded to SO into rough person
alities and try to stir up old dis
cords that had been already adj
justed. The truly Christian man
can always find better cmploy-
ment than the one OF revtving
daeords. The Baptiats Of Osyka
can do better than t. deslre to
revive discords, and the writer
hopes that both churches there
will Just let Dr. Scarborough cuss
aud recuss and discuss matters
as he pleases, and our church
business can bc conducted with
out the interference Of those who
strive to renew old dissensions,
by bringing old misfortuuea into
the public newspapers M God =
good time the churches will all
again be one Let us work and
pray for that.
wish here 10 make two re-
marks in reference ~ Or. Scar
borough's last lie says let, "ln
your legal view you charge me
with saying OF you tha, ono
church euits you as well as an
other and better too. and thai
deny the allegation and defy The
alligator. = Memo will do better
than this, as he will not only de-
! fy the alligator, but will skin tho
alligator. Memo did not make
the above statement as charged.
On lst page Of Gazette oil Oct.
l4th, second column, limo 53
from top, Memo states that Dr..
| Scarborough said that 'fNemo
likes one denomination as woll an
another and better TOO. Memo
never wrote the word church in
the connection that Or. S. attrib-
utes 70 him, and he, Scarbor-
ough, is thrown out Of court on
his own testimony and beaten az
his own game. Why he ehould
have made 50 egrcgiou5 Il blum
der can only bo explained here
after.
End, In reference to his turtle
! story, coarse. low Joke, the
/ Doctor uses the name OF our Lord
in vain, as his word Bojasus Is
simply an Irish curse word, that
no decent or refined minister
would think Of placing himself
on record as using. Wonder
what Bro. Schilling will think OF
this preacher Of note who takes
his Lords name in vain in pub
lie newspaper? How are the
mighty fallenl How has the glo-
ry of Israel departedl Who will
| blame Memo after this irreligious
utterance for writing the sentence
which led to all this discussion,
as follows: "Our preachers
seem to have no desire for high
attainments in grace, no upward
monntings in spiritual life, no
requirement for q closer walk
with God" and here is one who
boasts Of his religious ability to
find religious conversations, who
now comes out, in a public news
paper, and uses his Lord 9 name
in disrespectful manner, break
ing the 7th commandment that
asserts: "Thou shalt not take
the name Of the Lord thy God in
vain, for The Lord will not hold
him guiltless that taketh his
name,in vain. - Ex-xy:vii.
Again, DR.. Scarborough as
serts: ''Have you lived SO long
in the world and have not learn
ed that every fool attempts to
write poetry at some time Of his
life? With me the time has
come" Memo certainly Is aware
Of the above fact, and certainly
agrees with Dr.. S. that he has
reached the fool period Of his
life. His letters 10 the Gazette
all are first class witnesses to
this, and he need not to have ad.
vertised a thing go self-apparent
to all. He also asks if Memo
should swallow him what would
he do with his brains?
REPLY.
An imitation brain frust
