EDITOR REPORTER: l saw an item in
your last issue written by the Palestine
correspondent in which the writer seems
to think that the citizens surrounding
Palestine were dead or asleep. True they
have been asleep for the last thirty
years. When the church was built il
was thought to be built for all religious
denominations when not occupied by
the Baptists at their monthly meetings
These are facts in regard to that matter.
True it looks like toolishnsss in so small
scope of country between two towns
that two houses of worship should be
built. But there are others bss,d 81
Baptists who like to 60 to church and
hear other ministers preach. It seems
az though they absolutely refused one
OF yosr Leon pastors (HubbsD to
preach in The church snss week.
Now the readers aan see the enthusiasm
raised by the talk of building 4 Union
church SO all can meet te Worship.
