Is Once in Christ Never Out?
Zisn Baptist Church Disputes II.

The trouble which arose in
Zion Baptist church of this city
some time ago, seems to be IN d
state of perpetual motion. Some
time ago Rev. j. w. Daugherty
came here by call by some of the
memb ers; other mem bers claim
that the ones who called the rev.
ereno gentleman, did not cousti-
tute legal quorum. Since the
divergence of opinion, there
has been a continuous legal DAT
tie waged. Recently the courts
gave Mr.. Daugherty a Judgment
of 1888 as salary claimed by him.
Last Monday Judge Murray set
aside the judgment on the ground
that, as the opposing faction
claim papers signed over to Mr..
Daugherty, were illegally sign
ed. So there you are, 1t is now
a question whether these faction
isis believe that ouce in Christ is
always in Christ. The Bible
plainly commands: go we first
and be reconciled with thy broth
err Also it commands that. you
should forgive seventy times

Foraker For President.

Even at this early date, the
papers are asking this pertinent
question: Who shall he be?"
There is much speculation aud
many peop,e believe that Roose
welt or Taft is to make the lush
for the goal. We are inclined to
be silent for six or eight months.
but the noise is so audible that
silence is IMPOSSIBLE. The sound
reverbrates around the globe
daily. aud on every mountain
side, the voice is heard as it
we're, mighty rushing wind.
Ray mond of the Chicago Tribune
is now crying for Taft, then
Hughes. but seldom pens a sooth-
ing word for dear old Foraker,
the mighty one of the east. The
Negro delegates from the south
are to organize separately from
the lily white Republicans and go
to the National Convention next
year with free hands to support
whom they please. We endorse
their action in this respect and
congratulate North Carolina for
taking the initiative. We hope
they will guide their best inter-
est and support Foraker and
Hughes until the last Spartan
lay dead on the field" Raymond
even thinks as the Forum said,
that in case Hughes got the first
place, Deneen or Cummings
would be logical westerners for
second place. We believe Taft
is able enough. but do not think
he can get the colored support
and furthermore we do not like
his actions in the Brownsville
episode and other great ques-
tions that have come up in the
past five years directly affecting
the Negro as separate compos.
tie of the body polite. The same
is applicable to Roosevelt, tho
he is man of the hour-a strong
personality and magnanimous
statesman. But for me and my
house, we will serve Foraker,
Hughes or Beverage or similar
men of noble traits. Roof was.
but behold he is no more. having
