The writer from Bnrnett's Chapel
failed to make anything out Of what he
undertook to do against me by saying
tn at we said Cowan Harris had a war
ranty deed. We did not positively say
that Cowan Harris had warranty deed
but that he had it else we were wrong
ly informed. The writer says that Mr..
Harris is a good man. Well we were
sure OF that when we said we thought
he was acting in good faith when he un-
rooted the house. Mr.. Harris is the
one who told us that he had q genuine
deed and the Chapel writer says he is
= good man and ! suppose he will &C.
cept what he says. The Chapel writer
says he is really very sorry that he
touched our feelings by saying that Mr..
Harris was arrested for trespassing.
The writer is under mistake. We are
not touched at all but merely stated
that Harris was man OF good charac-
ter, was acting in good faith and had
warranty deed unless misinformed. If
the Chapel writer would not let his
children tear up his papers and would
read them more carefully he would
know exactly what people say about
things He says called him a sage.
That is what the says he is and he took
no exception to me calling him that but
he got little off when he said we were
rocked in the same cradle. He wore
that old cradle out before was born
and grew up and did well. If / could
have had that cradle awhile l might
have been sage but as l did not have
that advantage | am a slow motion in
stead Of quick motion.
Yes Cold Wave we know that if the
blind lead the blind that they both will
fall into the ditch but never knew be-
fore that the ditch was your fees eyes.
You say they are we'll. If so there will
be no danger OF any one else falling in
to the ditch. If that remedy cured
your fees eyes you did exactly right
in putting it in.
There was an old preacher once who
told some boys OF the Bible lesson that
he was goin to read in the morning
The boys. finding the place, glued to-
gether the connecting pages. The next
morning he read on the bottom OF one
page "When Noah was one hundred
and twenty wears old he took unto him.
self wife who was" then turning the
page zone hundred and twenty cubitS
long forty cubits wide, built of gopher
wood and covered with pitch inside and
out" He was naturally puzzled and
read it again and verified it and then
said my friends this is the first time
| ever met this in the Bible but accept
it as an evidence that we are wonder
fully made. -
