"ClOse Communion"

Under this caption, in Tuesday +
Herald, my good brother Rev. +. j.
Tyler, has an article. 1t processes to
be reply to sermon preached in the
Baptist church in this city Sunday
evening, | have known Bro. Tyler
for several years | respect and ad-
mire him for many excellent qualities
of mind and heart. He is my friend.
and not less a friend now than before
he wrote said article. But he is un-
fortunate. He replies TO a sermon he
did not hear, and therefore scarcely
touches the sermon delivered in the
Baptist pulpit.
My theme was "Close Communion. "
| did not mention baptism, except in
quoting passage of scripture. That
passage was quoted, not because it
mentioned baptism, but because it con-
taihed reference to communion, the
subject under discussion. But Bro.
Tyler deyotes his space almost entirely
to baptism
Now am a believer in discussion.
The world S advancement is the result
of discussion. We discuss other things,
why not points of theology? Well, |
have very strong convictions, on bap-
tlsm as well as on some other subjects.
| have not the time for q newspaper
controversy. But if Bro. Tyler thinks
a public oral discussion of baptism de-
sirable in this city, / am by no means
averse to it. am willing to defend
what | believe against all opposers. II
any one doubts ii, try me.
But Bro. Tyler says: "Our dear
Bro Petite has offered twenty-five dol
lars for verse in the Bible in favor
Of open communion | do not wish
the twenty-five dollars, but do wish
that the public should know something
concerning the other side Of this ques-
tion.
| suppose the reader has observed
that Bro. Tyler does not produce the
one verse. If such verse can be given
would not the presentation of it be a
very effective way TO make the pub
lie know something concerning the
other side of the question:" Until
that verse is produced | shall continue
to believe that open communion is
something discovered out of the Bible
not in it, Fraternally,

STRANGE,

Strange, July 9.-Quite while has
passed since our last communication
appeared in the county's able paper.
the Herald.
A dark gloom now hangs over the
home of Mr.. Dock Bailey, as ON Tues
day night last just as the clock struck
II, the Angel of Death silently bore
the sweet spirit of Mrs. Lizzie Bailey
away from all earthly suffering. Drop
sy was the cause of her death, and her
suffering was intense, but she bore it
with Christian fortitude. For weeks
she could not lie down minute, and
she died sitting III her chair All
that loving hands could do was DONE
but nothing could keep the dear wife
and mother in her earthly home. She
was ready and willing to go home to
glory. Weep not, bereaved ones, as
those without hope, for mother is now
done with sorrow and suffering. She
leaves a husband and several children
to mourn her death. We extend to
them our heartfelt sympathy, and trust
that they one day may meet her in
the bright beyond.
This part of the county is badly in
need of rain. The gardens are drying
up and the crops are needing rain
badly. While it is disadvantage one
way, it is also an advantage to the
wheat raisers, rs the entire crop will
be threshed without any rain. Crops
look well, considering the long dry
spell, but the flowers and gardens LOOK
bad.
The health of this place is not sc
good, as several are having chills,
fever and tiux. We are glad to report
Mrs. Sarah Ledbeter improving from
dropsy.
