End, Birmingham, Alabama. In his next

paragraph, Bro. Archibald saws
Some time since he (Watson) threw out a big
lump OF his ignorance of the whole matter by as
sorting that nine-tenths Of the money raised was
used in expenses and that but cents of every
dollar goes to the mission fields. Of course he
meant to say that if he had a chance at it they
would have but little left.
1t is not often that more vicious para
graph than this is admitted into secular
newspaper; we hope that UNCONVENTIONAL or
gans like the alabama Christian advocate
do not habitually publish such wanton attacks
upon character. In plain English, the Rec.
II. N. Archibald's insiaauation Is, that If Mr..
Watson had access to the mission funds, he
aoouzd steal them! One must be far gone in
the opposite direction from Christian charity
that thinketh no evil when he can give rein
to such lbelous innuendos as that.
Mr.. Watson has never arralgned the hon
esty Of mission methods, nor even alleged
that the management was wasteful. On the
contrary, he quoted the New York Worlds
statement about the ten per cent that reached
the heather, and expressly said that he, Wat
son, could not endorse it.
Our readers remember how it was
Attacking Watson because of his op-
posing the giving of secular education, board
clothing, etc, to the yellow, brown and black
people of the Orient, aohem there as so much

z0aad Bro. Archibald writes
This is an outright appeal to race prejudice and
could not be said by who advocates the doc
trine of the unity of the race taught by Christ
If Christ advocated the doctrine of the
unity of the race" why have we got Meth
odist Episcopal Church South? There is
Northern Methodist Church and Southern
Methodist Church: what rock did they split
on! Wasn't there a niger in that wood
pile?
AS an example of the delicacy of Bro. Ar
chlbald's literary taste, we quote this gem of
purest ray serene:
Mr.. Watson claims to have read much litera-
ture, all IN the interest Of foreign MISSIONS and
that it all substantates his position Certainly.
man with his eyes get proof anywhere He
is like the sleeping drunk man into whose stubby
mustache some fellows rubbed some Limburger
cheese When he awoke he had occasion to turn
up his nose. He went out into the street, to the
edge of the town and into the woods, with his nose
turned up all the while and upon his return said,
The whole world stinks.
The Limburger cheese that was rubbed on
WatsOn's face and mind, is the missionary
literature already mentioned.
1t is pretty rough on Bishop Bashford, and
the compilers of that Conference book, and

to be czassed as Linoburqer cheese How these
followers of the meek and lowly Jesus will
take jolt like that we don't know, but if
Bro. Archibald had said that anything that

Brother Archibald furiously maintains the
sincerity of Chinese converts Let him read
the July number of the JEFFERsoNIAN MAGA-
ZINE, and learn some things that he does not
know. Let him also study the CHASTITY revela-
