his Savior $ name in vain in the
public newspaper, and We can
only exclaim of the poor handi-
capped churches over which 4
departed spirituality broods in
silence, while the light Of their
old Shekinah is gone, "Get thee
into the darkness, oh daughter
of Chaldea. for thou canst no

These brothers are the sad OBJ

have insulted, is forced to place
before you, and he wishes with
all his heart that the picture were
untrue, but the picture stands
more frightful than Banquo 3
ghost when it stood before the
Thane Of Cawdor, all unmovable
as the poisoned tunic that De-
janira sent to Hereules-that
monster man--that he put on and
which, demigod and hero as he
was, could not tear away.
If Bro. Sohilling had reviewed
the first article Of Memo as a
Christian gentleman should have
done, he would never have had
trouble; but without taking time
to examine the article and there
seeing that the words "Baptist
ministers" were not IN ii, or to
see that the verb SEEMS TO DESIRE

he replied calling the article a

brought at other times SERIOUS
charges : against the ministry.

direct at holiness, and went out
OF the true curriculum Of argu-

adopt his views Of holiness. "
Now the introduction Of this

he would be done by. He then
points out that Memo has never
written on some certain questions
thus blaming him for writing
and then blames him for not
writing on some other subjects.
He has lost all hope Of procuring
conviction under the original in

that Memo has at various times
criticised the preachers, and
states in his article Of August 2G.
