| To the Edi or Of PLANET,
Dear Sir:-Will you allow me to in
truds upon the readers of your paper
again for the purpose Of correcting
other statements made by DR.. w. II.
Graham, who seems Co be more at
home when he is misrepresenting his
brother ministers than in doing any
thing else.
His Language: Good DR.. spiller
| stood the strain as long a. possible so
he hied himself away from Danville to
Lynchburg."
Was sent by the General Associa-
| tion to preach at the Sth Street BAp-
| tist Church against my most earnest
protest. Drs. Vassar and Morris can
| testify to the truthfIlness OF this
| sta nent.
WANTED TO BE IN DANvILLE.
Iwanted to be in Danville on San
| day SO ss to be present st the close OF
| the General Association.
I'VE all know DR.. Spiller, and we
know he luves to talk; so out of the
| abundance of the love OF our inquisi-
| tive souls. we formed an impromptu
escort and placed DIR. Spiller on ths
| stand before the convention"
Our brother told the truth when ne
said loved Co talk but in my talk
tell the truth upon those with whom
1 agree and disagree.
Is is strange thing to understand
how q man can love another one and
resort to trickery to set him in ON inn
proper light before the world.
Live envieth not
Thinketh no evil,
Reioiceth in the truth."
When I was escorted to the pulpit I
did not know that this was Judas Is
CARROT arrangement, led by DR.. Gra-
ham. ] thought the brethren were
actually glad TO see me, for was truly
He greeted Us with Jrotherly love,
shook DIR. Honman's hand In the pull
pit and in the presence of the large
gathering, gave Dr.. Hoffman q warm
invitation so come TO Hampton to
preach for him."
POINTS TO THE SCRIPTURES.
II DIR. Graham will read the follow
ing passages of Scripture he will find
out why greeted the brethren with
brotherly love.
lat Joan 8:IA "We know that wa
have passed from death unto life, be.
cause we love the brethren. de that
ioveth not his brother abideth in
DEATH"
Romans 1919, "Let love be without
Discrimination"
We are also told to love not in
word, nor in tongue, but in deed and
in truth.
know we are separated so far as our
opinions are concerned upon certain
matters touching cooperation; but in
Hebrews 1871, I find these words: Let
brotherly love continues" so you may
see why greeted you all with broth
erly love.
Not out Of the abundance OF the love
| of our inquisiIiva souls, but out OF tbs
abundance of the love of God 10 our
hearts for our brethren, we greeted
DIR Hoff man and the brethren.
We did not know that it was q crims
| to invite q Baptist minister to preach
for us because we do not agree upon
| certain things.
DIR. Graham referred in this weeks
issue to one thousand Pedo BsPtists
| who we're willing to take care OF the
brethren of the National Convention, I
did not think that he committed
| crime.
"Knowing that this was good time

began with their prisoner ia the box"
WAS he A PRIsoNER?
This is the first time that knew
| that I was under an arrest. DR. Gra-
ham certainly waited a long time bes
fore he revealed the secret. This is
the first time in my life that have
known q prisoner to be treated with as
much respect as the Judge OF the court
and to be allowed to occupy seat
upon his stand.
/ must confess as the DR.. said got
mixed up, but not by questions; for
very few we're asked but by thinking
that the DIR. aud others were prompted
by pure motives in having me to make
statement; but he tells you In the
last issue Of the PLANET that you arc
mistaken n il you think so.
These are not his exact words, but
think that am safe in saying, IL is im
piled.
As to the amount of money raised &C
the General Association l shall refer
you to my letter OF week before last
