ANOTHER LETTER.
DIR. Lewis hints at letter and uses
capitals 30 give it prominence. Sup
pose tell him that not q letter, but a
long ARTICLE from Lynchburg for pub
lication, in which the good Doctor
would have been grievously interest
ed. WAS submitted to me for nv opin.
ion IS to whether it should be printed
Money was offered for its publication.
but said, no don't put that stuff in
the newspapers. And just as answer
this ugly ding at me, am able to meet
DR.. Lewis upon every inch of ground in
this fight to tbs ed.
The Doctor remembers the little
joke he tells on himself some times to
the effect that when he was younger
and less experienced he used to catch
the bull by the horns, that he found it
hard thing to let 60. (sor fear the
bull might run over him) when he held
him by the horns in later life he had
learned to eptch the 5;=il by the tail go
as to let him go. It seems to me
that DR.. Lewis caught two bulls
at once and doesn't know which
to turn loose. know one he will new
ca catch by the tail. The one I know
meets his opposers face to face-he
never hides as "a Delegate" under
the bush to hook his opponents in the
dark.
QUESTION OF DEBT.
I wish good DR.. Lewis would tell. or
let the officers tell please, how large
was the debt of the Second Church
when he took charge OF it. The Fifth
st. Church was (S1l0O0) Eleven Thous-
and Dollars in debt when took ch arpe.
DIR. Lewisshas over 2000 members. I
have 100. My church debt is $l9OO. 90
rhey do not owe the pastor a cent on
salary. DR.. Lewis says they owe me.
Watch the truth Dr., if you can't keep
your mouth on him try to keen your
eyes on him. What about my applica-
tion being before the True Reformers
the fourth time? Where is Hon. Giles
b. Jackson? He and are good friends :
1 want to ask him can man get any
money out OF another man for making
truth hide behind "a Dslegate?"
HOPES THK CHURCH WILL FoRBEAR.
The Doctor is uneasy. But I hone
the End Church will be forbearing and
don't turn him of before he can get q
cail-if he holds these bulls by the
horns much longer he will never leave
RiehmorO to go to another church,
DIR. Lewis asks, Should preachers
pastor large churches and run business
enterprises?" Yes Doctor, il thew
have the ability. Some can't do it be-
cause they are so tickle minded and
quarrelsome. Some men can't pastor
churches unless they have some
good old descons to calm them down
now and then. Yet some preachers
abuse and curse deaeons out; don't
want them even to have little union
among themselvss. Where is DR.. Lew
is?-away down the line with mud
singers barking on GrahAm's tracks.
INsULTED HIS WIFE.
In closing this letter want to say
that DR.. Lewis has Of late been so en-
gagged IN slandering our pure women
tnat ne Iorgets all cecency and tries to
insult Mrs. w. +. Graham, the queen
OF my home. by saying that he does
not Know who can be jealous OF me,
except my wife. / respect sister Lewis
too much to even think of Charging
her with Jealousy.
/ can see now what made the Tenk
sisters get SO angry when good DR..
Lewis preached Tor them.
Fire your next gun, Doctor. / am
just getting warm.
w. F. GRAHAM.
