Mr.. Editor: l appear again to help
fill our newsy paper
Well | see Wild Bill has got tam
ed at last | am glad of that. She
has been running at large for some
time, and has proved herself to be wild
indeed, but when me and my old
friend, "Hardscrabble'' undertook the
task of tanning her, she soon gave up,
and is now as tame as lamb. and 80
we will no longer call her"Wild Bill,
but will call her the "Prodigal Daugh-
ter, =" sister to the Prodigal son, So,
now, we shall rejoice and make merry,
for the dead is alive and the last is
first. Now, will suggest that she re-
member and never run wild any more
for it has caused me and "Hardscrab-
ble'' some trouble to tame her, and
unless we can arrange with her to let
us cage her up and travel with her,
and exhibit her as one of the great
wild women of the mountains Of East
Tennessee, caught and tanned so there
is no danger in her, ! fear we will not
get pay for our trouble tanning her.
But | think she will consent to give us
chance to make our money back we

Well, see no one has taken up my
challenge so | will come again to see If
can get any one to come to the front
| will affirm with anyone that the
true church of Christ has never exis-
ed on the earth at anytime, but what
there were living prophets init. Now,
if it is fact that the church has liy-
ing prophets in it, there are some of
the churches wrong. see there is to
be revival at the Baptist church at
Lenoir City, says M. d. Moss. He
says it will be big one, | hope it
will be big one, but | want Bro.
Moss to tell us how he knows it is to
be a big revival. Is he prophet! If
so, all right. l like true prophets l
! want to ask Bro. Moss, why it is call
ed the Baptist Church. Does it take
its name from John the BaptistT II
so, did he organize it? If not, why
call it after him? 1t seems to me the
church ought to be called after Jesus
| Christ as He organized the only one |
/ can find in the Bible. That is the true
| church. So, now, Brother Moss, |
want to hear from you and tell us
which one of the Baptist churches you
belong to, if any / want you to tell
us how many officers there are in your
church at the present time. What are
they called? Are they called elders and
bishops or what. l want to know.
want to learn all can, and want to
learn others what little know. Now,
have been taught that the Bible is
the very bill to warn us in all things,
and now | see so many different
churches in the world, and hear them
preach so many different plans of sal
walton, it makes me think there is
something wrong somewhere with the
churches. ! believe if the money that
is spent to keep all the different
churches going was spent in common
schools and clothing bought and furn
ished the poor children in the world
so they could attend those schools, Il
would be better for the people, and
am sure God would like it better.
am willing to admit the true church
of Christ ought to receive our support
but how are we to find it? This is thu
trouble. We won't find it will
preachers preaching for the money IL
it. No. They will be going withou
purse or script, and the poor will hav'
the gospel preached to them withou
money or price. Most preachers thes
days set price on their preaching
whether they get it or not. l thinl
