REV LoNeREEN aBRAHAn LINCOLN MUsRAUs SLACK or uN-
swoURv RECORD IN INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA THIS
CITY.

BLACK or unsaYoufy Record IN md
annapolis. Indiana, and IN this city
we want to lay down two propposl
tions. First it does not aRord u
any pleasure to write against mini
sters Of the Gospel. for during ou
boyhood days we we're taught to lool
upon all ministers with the creates
respect and for many years we dit
reverence them, until we behelt
many Of them staggering In AMI out
Of saloons and other tough resorts
and doing other things that non-PrO
Tossing Christians would shrink from
doing, then In a large measure We
iolS our respect for al ministers Who
fail TO tOe the mark or Practice what
they Preach. Second we want Il dls,
tinctly understood that we DO not
write against unworthy ministers for
the purpose Of receiving the applause
of the unthinking rable, but our sole
object in doing 80 is. that We honest,
" believe the time has arrived IN
the history Of the Afro-Ameriean race.
when an attempt should be made TO
drive AL Libertinss, whisky-drinkers,
liars. thieves and grand rascals out
Of the Pulpits.
With these Preliminary remarks.
we wiz proceed with our task Of
attempting. to touch upon Rev. Lon
green Abraham Lincoln Murray's
BLACK or unsavourY Record IN InJi-
annapolis. Indiana, and IN this city"
and while We may not be able to
to tear or pull the mask on his hypo-
critical face, but we do expect TO
shake him up just a little bit. Il
seems that away back in 1895 or %,
Rev. Longreen Abraham Lincoln Mur-
ray, was holding down a small
church or Pulpit In Marion, Ind, at
that time he was nothing but a big
Green County Preacher, and he was
perfectly contented to smile on the
goOd-looking sisters, to tell a lie once
and a while and devote the rest Of
his time in feasting on chickens, and
eating water-milons. As time moved
onward Bishop Arnett, conceived the
idea Of transferring Rev. Longreen
Abraham Lincoln Murray, from Marion
to indianapolis. Ind, and placing him
in charge Of Allen Chapel, which is
the oldest and one Of the best church
IS in that city, and according to the
most reliable reports from some OF
its old members who reside IN this
city. and from Preachers, and other
Persons who still live In Indianapolis.
Rev. Longreen Abraham Lincoln Muir
ray, was scarcely installed as Pastor
OF Allen Chapel, before he plunged
head-long into immortality or Licen-
tionuness. He did not really have
time to get the country dust removed
from his large shoes before he had
a downfall. which brought disgrace
on al the nightly respectable mem
bers Of AIlen Chapel, both men and
women, and as their place Of wor.
ship was free from debt they did not
want no one to Preach to them who
diregarded his marriage VOWS
one who could be observed in the
dark hours OF the night ehaseing
around after ether women. while his
good wife was home Praying to her
God not to huri her husband on
account Of hls many black deeds head
long into the bOttomless Pit Of hell
So in time the great majority Of the
decent members Of Allen Chapel high.
y resolved that they would not permit
Rev. Longreen Abraham Lincoln Muir
ray. 70 Preach for them any longer,
and they took steps to remove him
from his Pulpit, at that juncture
Bishop Arnett journied to Indianapo-
lis, meeting was called or held in
the Chapel for the purpose Of shead-
Ing new light on Rev. Longreea.
8ishop Arnett called the meeting to
order and occupied the Pulpit during
It's progress Rev. BOngreen sat. on
his right side IN the Pulpit. and while
some Of the members Of Allen Chapel
we're Protesting against Rev. Lon
green and filling charges against him.
Bishop Arnett placed his hand on
bis head and proclaimed IN 4 loud
7oiee that Abraham Lincoln Muir
-ay. Is my Son that he win and must
ltay Is Pastor Of Allen Chapel, that
70 one can dispute ny authority nor
ct my decision ssids-. It IL true
hat Bishop Arnett. and his sanity
Son Rev. Longreen Abraham Lincoln
Murray. did gain a temporary victory
