Dear Brother Gilbert:
on-the-Road. Jan 16-This thing OF
explaining is not pleasant under any
circumstances, but when the explanation
may get you deeper into trouble than
the original matter, it's dangerous
ground that you are treading
Nevertheless. | feel that to save my
self I must explain. In the U. c. T..
column in Nodays Post there appears a
paragraph over the signature of &c. p.
W. relating to what purports to have
been an explanation of the Transforna
ton or Souls by the writer. The care
less reader might have thought that
was up on some theological question.
and that is what / wish to have him
avoid thinking. II that were to get out
! 1t might create an intermnlble discus-
sion. II there is one thing that the trav-
/ cling man is up on, it is theology and
he mas as many different Victories as there
are lines of trade, with '1775" thrown
In FOR laEniappe. If G. p. W. had been
particular as to his asse.tion there
would have heen no need for explanation.
but his error has gone broadcast and
here enter a general denial as 10 the
I theological bearing of the subject 1t
- a. l'l"lht 'NtlS Jay SUBJECT, and was
I Intended only as an Illustration Of the
fact that though the lips may never omen
nor the tonsue ever move, meanings may
be read, and stories told In emphagis
louder han the mortal voice could ever
nave told them. II simply ILLUSTRATED
the indisputable fact that voice is not
a necessary adjunct, and that speech is
Of a baser metal than the silence which
! proved to he golden. ! do not con-
slider it necessary to go into de.ail-in
truth, 1t will be out of place in these
columns--but I have evidence 10 proye
what l say, and etand pat on my theory.
II this is not plain TO the average read
or can not help it, II is net my fault
that he knows anything about it, viii
not answer any personal letters on the
SUBJECT. but desire to refer all INQUIRER,
to {. P. W, who, according 10 his own
statement, knows all about the matter,
Having satisfied himself he ought to aow
satisfy all others, T,CS.
