ted up that non-union writer's little
warty, windy and chaffy article. and
was as rich an article on that subject
as ever appeared in print. There isn't
any difference between labor orpaniza-
tions and labor of church organiza-
tions. They are all for the better con
! dition of daily laborers Church un-
ions are movements of the nations
both church and labor unions. be-
lieye, "Blue Ribbon, that the great
God of the Universe will recognize
both unions. Both are combined SO
closely together that it is an impossi
bility to separate them, and when YOU
break down these church and labor I'M
IONS and cause them to be trampled
under the foot of vile man, you have
without doubt, broken down the
christianity, education and morality
of our country. And, further, | will
say that you would wreck this country

forefathers fought..so hard to save and
loved so dearly that Just such weak
men as Uncle Tom" and You and |

live under union and unionism, and
enjoy happy home in the land of the
free and the home of the brave. Your
article, If your doctrine was carried
out to letter, would drop this whole
nation into heathenism, when in some
parts Of the land people that advocated
true unionism of church were execut-
ed, nailed to the cross and put to an
open shame, a long sight better men

true church of God, and | know if
such Judases as there were in that day
would betray Christ and have him put
to death for advocating unionism of
labor or churches, the best man that
ever was born of woman, of course we
would expect just such Judas as you
to cruelty the union, and her cause if
you had any power either in heaven
or on earth, but from what your
brother correspondents say of you, l
am lead to believe you have but little
power or influence in heaven or ON
EARTH in or out of the church you
claim to represent and though but
few white folks and no negroes that
you can get to listen to or follow your
windy doctrine and commands.
| believe as the Scripture teaches us,
after a man once processes religion and
, joins the church the union of God,
, and then turns right around and de-
MES the faith, that man is worse than
' an infdel, and the Scripture says that
it is impossible to ever renew that
man again. And when preacher OF
